About Gleneagle
Gleneagle is a residential community between Colorado Springs and Monument just east of I-25.
Regional considerations
Colorado's Front Range sees sharp temperature swings in winter, and hard freezes can follow mild days. Pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces are the most exposed, and outdoor hose bibs that are not freeze-resistant or disconnected from hoses are a common trouble spot.
Water in much of Colorado is moderately hard to hard depending on the source, which can contribute to scale in water heaters and fixtures over time. Your local water utility publishes water quality reports if you want specifics.

Points to keep in mind
- Irrigation systems, pools and outdoor lines can also leak and affect your bill. Mention them if you have them. More on leak detection.
- Shower valve replacement may require wall access, either from the tiled side or from an adjacent room or closet. More on toilet and fixture repairs.
- Utility or manufacturer rebates sometimes apply to high-efficiency units. Programs change, so check current availability. More on water heater problems.
- Emergency rates can differ from standard rates. Ask how after-hours, weekend or holiday calls are billed before you agree to a visit. More on burst and leaking pipes.
- A clog in one fixture is usually local; clogs in several fixtures at once usually point to the main line. More on clogged drains and sewer lines.
- Chemical drain cleaners can complicate the job. If you have already poured one into a drain, tell the plumber, because it can be hazardous to work around. More on clogged drains and sewer lines.
What to have ready
- If you have had related work done recently, note the date and what was done.
- Say whether you own or rent. Renters usually need to involve the landlord or property manager before work begins.
- Find your main water shut-off before you need it, and mention in your inquiry whether you have already shut the water off.
- Mention the approximate age of the home and whether you know what type of piping it has, such as copper, PEX, galvanized steel or cast iron.
- List the times you can be reached and whether someone will be home to provide access.
Good questions to ask any provider
- Can you install a fixture I've already bought?
- Are you able to come out now, and roughly when can I expect someone?
- Is detection priced separately from repair?
- Will you need to open walls or ceilings, and is patching included?
- Do you also check outdoor and irrigation lines?
Verify before you hire
