Fountain Plumbing Company handles plumbing repairs and installations for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings throughout Fountain and El Paso County. Whether the job is a slow drain, a leaking water heater, a fixture swap, or a sewer line that needs attention, we take the call and get it scheduled. We work every day from 9 AM to 8:30 PM, so when something goes sideways on a weekend or a holiday, there is a number to call. Arrives fast. Fixes it right. Prices settled on the call.
Call (719) 629-9789 for a quote. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls.
For busy homeowners and property managers, keeping the plumbing running is not optional. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from a dripping faucet to a full main line replacement. Here is what we cover:
Multi-unit buildings, office spaces, and commercial properties have their own demands, and we work across all of them. Code-compliant plumbing on every job, whether it is a single-family home or a building with a dozen units. Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, the water goes off first, and then the real work begins. Here is what the most common calls involve.
A slow drain is usually a sign of buildup in the line. A full blockage or sewer backup means the line needs clearing now. We use drain snaking and hydro jetting to clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, and main line clogs. Hydro jetting pushes pressurized water through the pipe to break up grease, mineral scale, and debris that snaking alone cannot reach. Whether it is a single fixture draining slowly or a backup affecting the whole house, we find where the line is blocked and clear it.
Hidden leaks inside walls and ceilings can run for a long time before the damage becomes visible. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate the source before anything is opened up. That means the cause is found before anything is replaced, which keeps the repair targeted and the disruption small. Pinhole leaks, burst sections, and broken supply lines are all within scope. We locate the problem, repair the damaged section, and confirm the line holds pressure before we leave.
A no-hot-water call is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems in any building. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we carry out commercial water heater work as well. If the unit can be repaired, we diagnose the fault and fix it. If it is past the point of repair, we size the replacement correctly for the building and get it installed. Plumbing work is finished to the code inspectors here enforce, on every callout.
Running toilets waste water and drive up utility bills. Leaking faucets are rarely just an annoyance. We handle toilet repairs and full replacements, faucet repairs and installations, and complete fixture work in kitchens and bathrooms. Shower and bathtub work is included, whether that is a new valve, a new faucet set, or a full fixture installation.
A sewer backup or a break in the main water line affects the entire property. We handle main line cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, and water main repair. The work is on the line itself, from the building out to where it connects. We clear blockages, repair damaged sections, and replace lines that have deteriorated beyond repair. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
Scheduling a plumber shouldn't be complicated. Call with the problem and we will tell you what the work involves and what it costs before anything is booked.
Whole-house repiping in copper or PEX is the right call when a pipe system is aging, corroding, or failing in multiple places at once. Replacing the whole system at once is more practical than chasing leaks one at a time. Garbage disposals are another common call: we repair units that are jamming or humming without turning, and we install replacements when the unit has failed.
Water pressure problems have several causes. A failing pressure-reducing valve, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a corroded section of supply line can all drop pressure at the fixture. We diagnose the cause, replace the valve or repair the line, and restore normal flow. Outdoor spigots and hose bibs are part of that scope too, including frost-free models that hold up better through Colorado winters.
Gas line repair and installation covers the line that runs to a water heater, a range, or another gas-fed appliance. We work on the line itself: repairing leaks, extending runs, and replacing corroded sections. Backflow preventer installation and repair rounds out the scope for properties that need to protect the supply line from contamination.
You always know who to call if you need us again. Plumbing done to the standard the next inspection expects is the baseline on every job, not the exception. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
Fountain sits at elevation on the high plains south of Colorado Springs, where winters bring hard freezes and the gap between a warm afternoon and a sub-zero night can be a matter of hours. The freeze-thaw cycle here puts real stress on pipes and drainage systems, and the spring snowmelt that follows a heavy winter adds its own set of problems. A building with twenty units leaks differently from a house, but the climate affects both the same way.
When temperatures drop sharply in Fountain and the surrounding area, supply lines in unheated spaces are the first to freeze. An attic line, a crawl space run, or a pipe against an exterior wall can freeze and split before the temperature even bottoms out. The repair involves locating the freeze point, safely thawing the section, and then repairing or replacing the damaged pipe. Acting quickly limits water damage to the surrounding structure. If pipes have frozen once in a property, that section is worth addressing before the next cold snap.
Most homes in this part of El Paso County have basements, and spring snowmelt combined with heavy rain events can push groundwater toward foundations. A sump pump moves that water out before it becomes a flooding problem. We install new sump pumps in basements that do not yet have one, replace units that have failed, and service pumps that are running but not keeping up. Getting a pump in place before the spring melt season is the practical approach.
Proactive winterization before the first hard freeze is straightforward work that prevents expensive repairs later. That means insulating exposed supply lines in crawl spaces and unheated areas, draining and shutting down outdoor spigots for the season, and checking that any lines running through vulnerable spots have adequate protection. Frost-free hose bib installation is part of this work. A line that drains back when the spigot is closed is far less likely to split when the temperature drops overnight.
Ready to get the water back on? The first step is a phone call. Pricing is confirmed on the call, before anything is scheduled. We go through what the job involves, what parts are likely needed, and what affects the total, including how accessible the line is and the scope of the repair. You get a clear rate before any work begins.
What you pay depends on the job. A drain cleaning call is a different scope from a water heater replacement or a repiping project. Asking on the phone is the fastest way to get a number that actually applies to your situation. Pricing agreed up front. Code-compliant work. Reliable water.

We serve Fountain and the communities nearby across El Paso County and the surrounding region. That includes:
Every service on this page is available across the service area. Call to confirm scheduling for your location.
It starts with a phone call where we ask about the problem, scope what the job involves, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. Once you agree to the rate, we confirm availability and set a time. When the visit happens, we carry out the repair or installation, test the work, and leave the area clean before we go.
The price covers the labor and the work described when you called. If parts are needed, we go over what those cost before anything is ordered. The scope and the rate are settled on the call, so you know what you are agreeing to before anyone shows up.
Most visits fall into a few categories: clearing a drain or clog, repairing or replacing a leaking pipe, servicing a water heater, installing or repairing a fixture, or addressing a sewer or main line issue. We also handle shutoff valve replacement, water pressure problems, garbage disposal work, and gas line repair. If the job is something outside the everyday list, describe it on the call and we will tell you whether it falls within our scope.
Shut off the main water supply to the building first, which stops the flow and limits how much water reaches the structure. If you are not sure where the main shutoff is, it is usually near the water meter or where the supply line enters the building.
Then call us at (719) 629-9789 and describe what is happening so we can scope the repair and get moving.
Yes. We are open every day from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. If something goes wrong on a weekend morning or a holiday afternoon, there is a number to call and someone who can scope the job and get it scheduled.
Call (719) 629-9789 and tell us what is happening.
That depends on the current schedule and how urgent the situation is. When you call, we confirm what is available and give you a realistic timeframe before anything is booked. We take short-notice work and handle urgent calls during our published hours, 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM every day.
Turn off the water supply to that fixture first. Every toilet has a shutoff valve at the base of the supply line, usually on the wall behind or beside the toilet. For a sink or other fixture, the shutoff valves are typically under the cabinet. Once the water is off, call us and we will figure out what is causing the problem and what the repair involves.
Yes. We serve Fountain as the primary area and take calls from across El Paso County, including Colorado Springs, Security-Widefield, Penrose, Canon City, and the communities in between. If you are not sure whether your address falls in the service area, call and ask. Most calls come from within a short radius of Fountain.
Yes. We work in single-family homes, rental units, apartment buildings, office spaces, and other commercial properties. A multi-unit building has different demands than a house, but the process is the same: scope the job on the call, give a price before anything is scheduled, and carry out the work to code. Commercial drain cleaning, sewer service, water heater installation, and repiping are all part of what we do.
Common signs include discolored water at the faucet, reduced water pressure throughout the home, visible corrosion at joints or fittings, and recurring leaks at multiple points in the system. Galvanized steel pipe, which is common in older Colorado homes, closes down from the inside as mineral deposits build up over time. If you are seeing more than one of those signs, call and describe what you are noticing and we can tell you what the next step looks like.
