About Kestrel Plumbing
Kestrel Plumbing gets a licensed local plumber to your door across Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Windsor and the Carbon Valley. One call for frozen and burst pipes, drains and sewers, water heaters, leaks and fixtures, with upfront pricing before work starts.
Northern Colorado plumbing has its own rhythm: arctic cold snaps that split pipes overnight, basements where sewer problems surface first, old clay sewer laterals under big trees, and clay soils that slowly move everything buried in them. Kestrel exists to make the first step simple: one number, a licensed local plumber, and a price you approve before work starts.
The name comes from the American kestrel, the small falcon you see hovering over fields from Fort Collins to Fort Lupton. It's quick, precise and local.

The step-by-step is on how it works.
Editorial standards
Our plumbing guides are written to help homeowners act fast and make good decisions, including what to do before anyone arrives. We explain what drives cost rather than publishing prices, because honest prices depend on the diagnosis. Safety guidance, especially about gas, comes first.
We don't publish invented reviews, statistics, credentials or project photos. Photography on this site is licensed stock and is labelled as examples where it illustrates a before-and-after. If you spot something inaccurate, tell us.
Why Northern Colorado homeowners call
The Kestrel standard
Colorado-licensed plumbers
Colorado licenses plumbers through the State Plumbing Board. Ask for the license number; any good plumber gives it to you.
Upfront, written pricing
You hear the price and approve it before work starts. No surprise charges added after the job.
Permits pulled when required
Water heaters, gas lines, sewer and repipes usually need a permit and inspection. The plumber pulls it.
Freeze-smart repairs
Burst pipes are fixed and the cause is addressed too: exposed runs, crawlspaces, hose bibs and sprinkler lines.
Camera-verified drains
Sewer problems are shown on camera, so you see the root intrusion or break before paying for a fix.
Clean, respectful work
Shoe covers, drop cloths and cleanup are part of the job. Warranty terms in writing.
