A planned colony town
Longmont was founded in 1871 by the Chicago-Colorado Colony and incorporated in 1885, the first planned community in Boulder County. The city is named after Longs Peak. It reaches into Weld County on the east, and in 2020 it counted 98,885 residents.
Downtown and the streets around it hold some of the oldest houses on this list. Cast iron drains, galvanized supply pipe and clay laterals all turn up in houses of that age. A camera inspection is the plain way to find out which one you have.
Neighborhoods from every decade
With 41,680 housing units, Longmont has post-war ranches, 1970s and 1980s subdivisions, and large newer developments on the edges. Prospect New Town was Colorado's first New Urbanist project.

Creek, groundwater and basement drains
St. Vrain Creek runs just south of the city center, and basements near the creek corridor can see damp floors and slow floor drains after heavy rain or spring melt.
If water appears in a basement, find out first whether it is coming from a pipe or from the ground. A leak detection visit can separate the two, and water damage restoration handles drying when the structure is wet.
Bathrooms, kitchens and renovations
Many Longmont houses are getting new kitchens and bathrooms, and plumbing is a big part of that work. Moving a sink, adding a second bath or swapping a tub for a walk-in shower changes drains, vents and valves.
See shower and bathtub installation for how a replacement is planned, and disposal installation for the sink side. Ask who pulls the permit, because Longmont has its own building division.
