"TYCO was wonderful. Fixed a variety of issues in one trip- Installed toilet, replaced 3 valves, bleeder screw and ran a new water line. Josh was very knowledgeable and more than willing to explain things. Highly recommend!" - Andrea M.
Plumbing experts encourage homeowners to take a more proactive approach to their plumbing systems. Schedule an annual inspection to identify potential issues before they become serious. A plumber from our company can correct minor wear and tear and explore where your system is no longer up to code. We offer a membership plan that includes free annual home plumbing inspections. It also furnishes many other benefits, including priority service, extended warranties, and discounts.
A common area where homeowners spend unnecessarily is their water heaters. A water heater accounts for 18% of the energy usage in the average home. That usage can be much higher over time due to the accumulation of limescale and sediment. That’s why we recommend yearly water heater service. If you have a tank system, we’ll flush the tank, check the anode rod, and replace it as needed. If you have a tankless system, we’ll descale it. In both cases, our team will check insulation, valves, connections, thermostats, and so forth.
If you have an older water heater and would like to replace it, there are a number of compelling modern options. Perhaps the most notable, due to its high energy efficiency, is the hybrid heat pump water heater. These systems are similar to tank water heaters with the main difference being that they primarily use a heat pump. That approach is much more efficient and affordable. As a hybrid, they can also heat water the traditional way. That’s convenient during periods of high demand.
Households with hard water can experience higher water heating costs and reduced system life span. One option is to install an anti-scale device. That device will be local to the water heater and prevent calcium and magnesium from forming as scale. Another solution is a whole-house water softener. A water softener removes the magnesium and calcium from the water. The additional benefit is that it provides softer water throughout your home. That includes softer water for drinking, cooking, showering, washing dishes, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the main water shutoff in most Firestone homes, and what should I do before a plumber arrives?
In many Colorado homes, the main shutoff is near where the water line enters the house, in a utility room, crawl space, or basement. If you have an active leak, shut off the main valve, avoid using sinks or toilets, and move valuables away from the wet area to limit damage.
What causes pipes to freeze during Front Range cold snaps, and how can I reduce the risk?
Freezing often happens in unheated areas like garages, exterior walls, crawl spaces, and under sinks when temps drop fast. Keep cabinet doors open on cold nights, insulate exposed piping, disconnect hoses, and make sure outdoor hose bibs are winterized.
Why did my water pressure suddenly drop in the whole house?
A whole-home pressure drop can be tied to a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main valve, mineral buildup, or a hidden leak. If only one fixture is affected, it is often a clogged aerator or a cartridge issue.
What are the most common signs of a hidden water leak in Weld County homes?
Watch for an unexplained spike in your water bill, damp drywall, musty smells, warped flooring, or the sound of running water when nothing is on. If you suspect a leak, TYCO Plumbing can help confirm it with targeted testing and leak detection instead of guessing.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners for a slow drain?
Many chemical cleaners can be rough on pipes and may not solve the real cause, especially with grease buildup, hair, or deeper clogs. A safer first step is hot water and a simple trap check, then professional drain cleaning if the problem keeps coming back.
What does it mean if my pipes bang when I shut off a faucet?
That banging is often water hammer, which can happen when water flow stops suddenly and pressure spikes in the line. Over time it can loosen fittings, so it is worth checking shutoff valves, securing piping, and adding a simple arrestor if needed.
When should I replace braided supply lines to toilets and sinks?
If you see corrosion at the connections, bulging, fraying, or moisture around the shutoff valve, it is time to replace the line. Many homeowners also swap them proactively during fixture upgrades to reduce the risk of an unexpected leak.
How do I tell if my sump pump is working before spring storms?
Pour water into the pit until the float lifts and the pump turns on, then confirm it drains properly and shuts off cleanly. If it cycles nonstop, makes unusual noise, or cannot keep up, a plumber can check the pump, discharge line, and check valve.
What should I do if I smell gas near a stove, water heater, or furnace?
Leave the area, avoid flipping switches or using open flames, and follow your utility provider’s safety guidance first. After the immediate safety step, TYCO Plumbing can inspect gas piping and connections to find the source and recommend a proper repair.
