About True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning

We’re not just plumbers; we’re your partners.

Meet Ricky O'Dougherty

For over two decades, True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning has been a leading provider of expert plumbing solutions for new construction projects across the Denver metro area. Owner, Rick O’Dougherty began his journey with a rich family legacy in the plumbing industry in 1999.

Rick’s apprenticeship under three successful local plumbing businesses laid the foundation for our company’s high standards. He initially worked under his three uncles, all of whom ran locally owned-plumbing companies in the area. Following this start, Rick earned a position with a company in Highlands Ranch that specialized in new construction, service work, warranty work, and remodels. His subsequent experience with a specialized firm honed his skills in complex projects, setting the stage for True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning’s expertise in ground-up builds.

Our reputation is built on successfully handling complex projects. We thrive on strong relationships and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. We respect the general contractors and homeowners we work with, adhering to code and planned designs.

Our team offers a unique blend of residential and commercial plumbing expertise. With experience in large-scale projects like scrapes and remodels, we specialize in complete tear-downs and rebuilds, providing comprehensive plumbing solutions for your home.

At True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, we’re not just about excellent plumbing work; we’re committed to growing people and fostering a culture of learning and development. Our core values of integrity, efficiency, and open communication drive our success. As a local family-owned business, our team’s dedication to personal growth sets us apart, making us more than just service providers – we’re partners in building both projects and careers.

How We Do It​

At True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, we believe in making your plumbing service experience as smooth as possible. Whether you’re dealing with a minor leak or facing a major plumbing emergency, we’ve developed a straightforward, customer-focused process to ensure you receive the highest quality service with no surprises along the way.

Initial Call

A quick phone call is all it takes to get the ball rolling. Our friendly team is here to listen, understand what’s going on, and set up an appointment that works with your schedule. If you’re facing an urgent issue, let us know so we can prioritize your needs.

Identify Your Needs

Our friendly staff will help assess your plumbing needs. During this first call, we’ll ask a few questions to understand the details—whether it's a leaky faucet, a backed-up drain, or something bigger. This helps us get a clear picture so we can match you with the right service and technician.

Service Area

We’re proud to serve the Denver Metro Area, bringing our exceptional plumbing services to local homes and businesses. While Denver is our main focus, we know that quality plumbing service can be hard to find, and sometimes, word travels! If you’re outside the metro area and want to work with us, just give us a call. We’ll do our best to accommodate, and if a service fee applies for areas beyond our standard radius, we’ll let you know upfront.

Diagnosis & Estimate

One of our expert technicians will arrive on time and perform a full inspection to find out exactly what’s needed. Then, we’ll walk you through the diagnosis and provide a clear, upfront estimate. Our goal is transparency—no unexpected costs, just an honest assessment so you can make an informed decision.

Work Performed

With your go-ahead, our technician will jump right in and get to work. After the job’s done, we’ll provide a detailed invoice so you know exactly what was completed and how much it costs. We want you to feel confident about the service we provided.

Follow-Up

About a week after the service, we’ll give you a follow-up call just to check in and see how everything’s going. We also send a thank-you card as a little token of our appreciation—we’re genuinely grateful you chose True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning.

Our sewer line was clogged up and the basement floor drains were backing up onto the floor. I called True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning and made an appointment. The appointment window was 8 to 10 AM. Dean and Hunter showed up promptly at 8, diagnosed our plumbing system, and explained what they needed to do. They were able to clear our sewer line from the basement all the way out to where it goes under the street. Everything is working now and I thought the price was very reasonable. I’ll be calling True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning anytime I have any plumbing problems in the future.

Stop your search! True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning is the best. They are incredibly nice, respectful, and quick with the work. They were very communicative, right on time, and considerate throughout the process. They even came the very same day! They are also very reasonably priced -- not the type to gouge like some service companies. I can't say enough about how great they were. If you need something fixed, just call them now. You won't be disappointed!

I cannot recommend True Plumbing and Drain Cleaning enough. I had a massive project done after my foundation had to be rebuilt. I had my main line reworked and a new water heater that went into my home. Every single employee that worked in my home was kind, knowledgable, hardworking, and accommodating. Tony, Omar, and Dean especially made all of the work that I had done easy for me to understand what they were doing and work quickly to ensure that I was able to be comfortable in my home with running water. I have found a company that I trust for all of my future plumbing needs.

We've had True Plumbing out to do multiple gas line updates on our backyard. Most recently they added an extra connection for us to run a pizza oven. Dean was on time, vary courteous, and got the job done promptly while explaining everything and staying after to make sure our pizza oven worked. Always pleased when we work with this team, would highly recommend.

Erin, Tony, and Omar were a delight to work with. Erin was wonderful with her communication and getting someone to our house to fix a leak the same day. When Tony and Omar arrived they were courteous, explained everything they were doing, and provided the options available. Tony and Omar worked quickly to locate the leak and make the repair. Afterward, Erin and Tony ensured I was taken care of by communicating with my insurance company and completing the needed form. My extended family is always looking for good tradesmen and I am so excited that I can confidently recommend True Plumbing.
