Perks of being an APEX Plumbing Technician!
Most people may perceive that the job of a plumber might not have as many perks as some occupations. Some days I would have to agree, however if you service areas located in the beautiful mountains of Colorado you might agree that there are a few perks to our job.
During any service call, it isn’t rare to see the most majestic of views and the most beautiful of creatures big and small roaming through areas such as Red Feathers Lakes, Crystal Lakes and Livermore to name only a few.
Our technicians have frequent sitings of the cow moose and her calf’s breaking through the trees or experience a bull elk dart out in front of our service trucks knowing that impact would most likely damage the vehicle rather than the strong powerful animal.
It wouldn’t be fair if we kept these experiences to ourselves and not share with our customers and all of you that dream of experiencing the beauty of Colorado first hand. We hope that you enjoy our photo gallery!

Getting to the Root of the Problem - Fall Plumbing Tip
Did you know that when trees lose their leaves it stops feeding water from ground up and closes veins off to allow moisture to pass up and through. Rings in tree are like veins, when it is cold veins close off and no water can come up. Roots still grow looking for water. If you have an old sewer line with clay pipes, roots will go find pipes as sources of water. If you have old sewer system you need to maintain the line to protect your pipes from potentially bursting.
Maintain your pipes in the fall and avoid back-ups by calling a professional to rooter your lines. If you don’t know if you have a potential problem, have a video inspection done of the line. Another hint, in 1977 plumbing companies stopped using clay pipe and went to PVC, so if you house is older than that, you could run into issues.
