Water providers and why they matter
Centennial is served by several water and sanitation providers rather than one city utility. Parts of Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and Lone Tree get service from Southgate's water and sanitation districts. The Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority serves other areas using groundwater from the Denver Basin aquifers.
Different sources mean different water chemistry. Hardness and mineral content can vary from one neighborhood to the next, which affects how fast scale builds in water heaters and fixtures. We test before recommending a water softener for a Centennial home.
Many Centennial homes keep the water heater in the garage. Under the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), gas water heaters in garages generally need their ignition source raised at least 18 inches above the floor and protection where a vehicle could hit them. We check both whenever we replace one.
Local landmarks include The Streets at SouthGlenn and the Dry Creek light rail station. The IPC (International Plumbing Code) requires pipe under concrete to be protected from damage, but slab leaks still happen on expansive Front Range soils. Newer townhome and slab construction is where our slab leak repair service is most often needed.

Before We Arrive: If You Have A Burst Pipe Or Active Leak
Four quick steps for any Centennial property.
Shut off the main valve
Centennial homes often have the main in a basement utility room or garage. Close it fully if a pipe or water heater is leaking.
Kill power to wet areas
Turn off a leaking electric water heater at its breaker, and cut power to outlets near the water if the panel is dry.
Clear the immediate area
In townhomes, move items off slab floors and warn a neighbor if water may be running under a shared wall.

Phone (303) 552-3896 and mention if water is appearing on a slab floor, since that changes how the leak is found.
