Strong five-star review profile from Denver-area homeowners and investors
Englewood is a city of around 35,000–36,000 people in the Denver area, centered near the intersection of US-285 (Hampden Avenue) and Broadway and served by Santa Fe Drive (US-85). Originally founded as a mining town when gold placer deposits were discovered along the South Platte River in 1858, it was later incorporated as a city in 1903 and grew into a manufacturing and service-oriented community. Today Englewood's central location, two RTD light-rail stations (Englewood and Oxford) and proximity to downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center make it a gateway between the city and its southern suburbs.
Population 36,046 in 2026, up 7.21% from 33,622 in 2020. Racial composition about 73.15% White, with additional representation from multiracial, other race, Black, Asian, Native American and smaller groups.
Around 14,879–15,500 housing units across roughly six square miles, with about 58% detached single-family units and the rest attached or multifamily. About half of residences owner-occupied and half rentals, with median home values historically around $300,000 and a wide range across neighborhoods.
Englewood's character centers on its historic and cultural landmarks and nearby recreation assets. The restored art-deco Gothic Theatre on South Broadway and Hampden Hall host concerts, films and community events that keep the city's arts scene lively. Visitors and residents also enjoy attractions such as the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Pirates Cove Water Park—featuring waterslides, lazy river and kids' play areas—and Broken Tee Golf Course with links-style play and footgolf. Englewood sits adjacent to Cherry Creek State Park and connects directly to the South Platte River Trail, creating easy access to boating, fishing, biking and hiking across a regional greenway system.
Challenge: Englewood lies along the South Platte River and has invested in multi-purpose stormwater detention and flood-control projects to manage river and runoff conditions.
Impact on Plumbing: Lower-lying areas and properties close to the river or drainage corridors may experience higher groundwater at times, stressing sewer laterals, sump systems and foundation drains; older lines may be more vulnerable to infiltration and shifting soils.
Our Solution: Carmody Lake Plumbing uses sewer cameras, line locating and groundwater-aware repair and replacement methods to strengthen sewer and drainage systems in Englewood's river-influenced neighborhoods.
Challenge: Englewood's housing includes significant numbers of mid-20th-century homes plus older structures, with about half the dwellings owner-occupied and half rented out.
Impact on Plumbing: Many properties still have original or partially updated plumbing systems; rental units can see heavy use, deferred maintenance and more frequent clogs and fixture wear.
Our Solution: We tailor solutions for both owner-occupied and rental properties, from full repipes and sewer replacements in older homes to durable, cost-effective repairs and preventive drain maintenance for landlords.
Challenge: Within just about six square miles and with strong transit connections and commuter traffic, Englewood sees intensive use of housing and infrastructure.
Impact on Plumbing: Higher occupancy density and frequent tenant turnover can lead to more frequent plumbing issues, especially in small multifamily buildings and duplexes.
Our Solution: Carmody Lake Plumbing emphasizes quick response, clear communication and repair plans that minimize downtime for both residents and businesses.
Carmody Lake Plumbing provides a comprehensive range of residential plumbing and drain services throughout Englewood. Our licensed technicians work on single-family homes, duplexes, small apartments and mixed-use buildings across the city.
Englewood's neighborhoods feature many modest-sized detached homes and bungalows built between the 1940s and 1970s, often on small lots.
Common needs: repipes, sewer repairs, fixture updates and water-heater upgrades to match modern usage.
The city contains numerous duplexes and smaller apartment buildings that provide relatively affordable housing and investment opportunities.
Common needs: frequent drain cleaning, stack/main maintenance and fast leak response across units.
Areas near Englewood Station and Oxford Station and along South Broadway host a mix of apartments, townhomes and commercial spaces frequented by commuters.
Common needs: in-unit repairs with minimal disruption for tenants, and after-hours emergency coverage.
In 1858 a gold placer deposit was discovered along the South Platte River in what is now Englewood, prompting early settlement and mining activity in the area. Over time, farming and stock raising replaced mining as major economic drivers, and Englewood was incorporated as a city in 1903 as it developed manufacturing and service industries and benefited from its proximity to Denver. Today Englewood functions as a compact commuter hub with two RTD light-rail stations and central road connections, linking Denver with south-metro suburbs while maintaining its independent services and small-city character.
For over 35 years, Carmody Lake Plumbing has proudly served Englewood alongside Littleton, Sheridan, Highlands Ranch, and communities throughout the south Denver corridor. We understand Englewood's unique character—its blend of historic bungalows, transit-oriented development, and diverse population—and we're committed to providing plumbing solutions that respect both the city's heritage and its future growth.
As a full-service city in Arapahoe County, Englewood has its own municipal departments and works within county and state building and plumbing codes, with permits and inspections required for water-heater replacements, sewer repairs, repipes and major plumbing alterations. City planning and infrastructure consider both the South Platte River corridor and the city's dense, built-out footprint when updating stormwater and utility systems. Carmody Lake Plumbing manages permit filings, inspection coordination and code-compliant installation practices so Englewood homeowners and landlords can stay focused on day-to-day life.
Permits Required: Englewood permits for water heaters, sewer work, repipes and substantial remodels
Inspections: Inspections for underground plumbing, venting and fixture relocations
Coordination: Coordination with city utilities and, when relevant, South Platte corridor or regional trail projects

"I manage a duplex a few blocks off South Broadway and was dealing with recurring sewer backups. Carmody Lake sent out a camera to inspect the line and found root intrusion. They cleared it with hydro jetting and gave me options for a long-term fix. Professional and fair pricing."
"Had a leak that was affecting two units in our small apartment building near Englewood Station. Called Carmody Lake on a Sunday evening and they had someone out within an hour. The technician quickly stopped the leak and scheduled the permanent repair for Monday morning. Great emergency service!"

Snowmelt and spring rains swell the South Platte River and local drainage systems, stressing older sewer laterals and sump/foundation drains in low-lying or river-adjacent areas. Tree roots become active and can infiltrate weakened sewer lines. We recommend sewer camera inspections and sump pump testing before peak rain season.
Heavy use of Pirates Cove Water Park, parks, trails, and outdoor events increases demand on showers, laundry, and kitchen plumbing in Englewood homes. Water heaters work harder with more frequent showers, and garbage disposals see increased use during BBQ season. Schedule preventive drain cleaning before summer gatherings.
Cooler nights and falling leaves around Englewood's mature trees highlight the need for drain cleaning and outdoor plumbing preparation. This is the ideal time for hose bib winterization, water heater maintenance before cold weather, and furnace check-ups to ensure reliable heating.
Front Range cold snaps and freeze-thaw cycles increase frozen-pipe risks in uninsulated spaces, basements, and crawlspaces common in Englewood's older bungalows. Water heater demand spikes after ski trips and snow days. Insulate exposed pipes, know your main shut-off location, and keep our emergency number handy: (720) 619-5678.
While we serve all south-metro Denver communities, each city has unique plumbing characteristics based on housing age, density, and geography. Here's how Englewood compares:
Englewood's compact, six-square-mile footprint with older bungalows, duplexes, and apartments differs from Lakewood's larger, more suburban pattern with broad neighborhoods and malls. Englewood's housing is generally older and denser, requiring more attention to aging infrastructure and multi-unit systems.
Englewood's South Platte riverfront and industrial legacy contrasts with Littleton's more historic-downtown character and 880-acre South Platte Park configuration further downstream. Both have older housing stock, but Littleton's lots tend to be larger with more single-family homes.
Englewood has a higher share of rentals and smaller average home sizes compared to Highlands Ranch's master-planned, mostly owner-occupied, newer housing stock. Highlands Ranch homes typically have modern plumbing systems, while Englewood requires more work on updating and maintaining older infrastructure.
Englewood's Plumbing Priorities: Modernizing aging infrastructure in mid-century homes, supporting rental property maintenance needs, protecting river-adjacent plumbing systems, and providing responsive service for a dense, transit-served urban environment.
Mention Englewood and your cross-streets (e.g., Broadway & Hampden) so we can route the closest crew. Available 24/7 for emergencies.
