Drains that run clear. Faucets that don't drip. Pipes that hold.
Every job we take on is built around code-compliant plumbing, from a single fixture swap to a new construction rough-in.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and the same is true for a commercial building. We handle the everyday work that homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses need: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal work, water pressure and shutoff valve repair, repiping, gas line repair and installation, and emergency plumbing.
When you call, you get the price before anything is scheduled. The scope is settled on the phone so there are no open questions when the work begins. We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
Not every plumber works the same way, and drain and sewer work is where that difference shows. We use the right method for the job rather than defaulting to one approach.
Slow drains, full clogs, and recurring backups all point to buildup somewhere in the line. We clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, shower and bathtub drains, and floor drains using a drain snake for straightforward blockages and hydro jetting for grease, scale, or debris that has accumulated along the pipe wall. Hydro jetting pushes a high-pressure water stream through the line and clears it completely rather than just punching a hole through the clog.
A sewer backup or slow main drain usually means a blockage, a root intrusion, or a damaged section of pipe. We run a sewer camera through the line to find exactly where the problem is before recommending a fix. That video inspection shows the condition of the pipe, the location of any damage, and whether a spot repair or a full replacement makes more sense. Where the situation allows, we offer trenchless options including pipe lining and pipe bursting, which handle the repair with less digging than a traditional open-cut replacement.
Call and we'll get the water running right.
When the water won't stop, the first job is finding where it is coming from. A water bill that keeps climbing or a wall that stays damp after a dry spell are both signs of a hidden leak that needs to be located before it causes more damage.
We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection methods to locate leaks in supply lines, underground pipes, and concealed sections of the system without opening up walls unnecessarily. Once the source is found, we repair or replace the affected section, whether that is a water supply line, an underground pipe, or a fitting that has failed. The cause is found before anything is replaced.
Older homes in Bernalillo County often have galvanized steel or copper pipe that has corroded over time. When leaks start appearing in multiple spots or water pressure drops throughout the house, a full repiping is often the more practical answer than continuing to patch individual sections. We repipe with PEX, which handles the expansion and contraction that comes with temperature swings in the high desert. Every repiping job meets the code inspectors here enforce, and fixtures and lines are left working before we go.
A water heater that stops producing hot water, leaks at the base, or makes noise it did not used to make needs attention before a small problem becomes a larger one. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, covering gas and electric units in residential and commercial settings. If you run a restaurant, an apartment complex, or a commercial facility with high hot-water demand, we handle commercial water heater installation as well.
The price is given on the call before anything is scheduled. We'll find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
If you're not sure your water pressure is where it should be, or a fixture has been on your repair list for longer than it should have been, we handle all of it.
Toilet work covers running toilets, leaking bases, flapper replacements, and full toilet replacements. Faucet repair and installation covers kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, outdoor faucets, and hose bibs. We install and repair kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and utility sinks. Garbage disposal installation, repair, and replacement are part of the regular work we do, as are appliance hookups: washing machine connections, dishwasher installation, refrigerator water lines, and ice maker lines.
For remodels, we handle the plumbing rough-in and finish work for bathroom and kitchen projects, including shower and bathtub installation. Water pressure problems, pressure regulator replacement, and shutoff valve repair and replacement are all within scope. We also repair and install gas lines, both indoor and outdoor, and install, repair, and test backflow preventers.
The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
Commercial plumbing jobs follow the same process as residential work. The scope is settled on the call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the work is done to the code requirements that apply here.
We handle commercial drain cleaning, plumbing repair and installation for offices, restaurants, apartment buildings, and multi-unit properties. Commercial water heater installation and replacement, plumbing rough-in for new construction, and ongoing repair for existing commercial systems are all part of what we do. We take pride in the plumbing work we leave behind, whether that is a single fixture in a break room or a full rough-in for a new building.
South Valley sits in the middle of one of the hardest-water regions in the country. The soil is expansive clay over caliche and slab, and the climate is arid high-desert with wide temperature swings between seasons. Those conditions drive three specific types of plumbing work more than almost anywhere else.
The water coming into homes and businesses across Bernalillo County carries a heavy mineral load. That hardness leaves scale inside pipes, on fixtures, and inside water heaters, cutting efficiency and shortening the life of everything it touches. We install and repair whole-house water softeners and water filtration systems sized for the actual hardness level at your address. A treatment visit starts with understanding the water quality problem, then matching the right equipment to the supply line and the household or building demand.
Homes throughout South Valley are built on concrete slabs, not basements, which means the supply and drain lines run through or under the slab itself. When the soil shifts or a pipe corrodes, the leak is hidden under several inches of concrete. We use electronic detection and pressure testing to locate slab leaks without unnecessary demolition. Once we have the location confirmed, we discuss the repair options and give you the price before any concrete is touched.
The high-desert climate and the cost of heating water in a large-tank unit make tankless water heaters a practical choice here. A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than keeping a full tank warm around the clock, which reduces energy use without changing how hot water is delivered. We install gas and electric tankless units in residential and commercial settings, and we handle the gas line or electrical supply work the installation requires. We also repair existing tankless units when they stop performing.
Pick the date. We do the plumbing. We clean up after.
If you're not sure your water pressure is where it should be, or you want to know what a repair will cost before committing to it, the process is simple. Call and we will scope the job on the phone. You get the rate before anything is scheduled, and you know what the visit covers before anyone shows up.
We are available 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, seven days a week, including weekends. Emergency plumbing calls are accepted within those hours. Code-compliant plumbing on every job, from a single valve replacement to a whole-house repiping.

South Valley is our primary service area. We also cover Bernalillo County broadly, including the communities around the metro. Nearby areas we serve include Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Los Lunas, Bosque Farms, and Isleta. Residential customers, landlords, property managers, and commercial accounts across the area are all welcome to call.
Yes, we are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend calls are handled the same way as weekday calls: the job is scoped on the phone, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the visit is booked from there.
If you have a plumbing problem that comes up over the weekend, call (505) 369-4282 and we will take care of it.
When you call, someone who knows the trade will ask about the symptoms and scope the job on the phone. You get the price before anything is booked, and you are told what the visit covers before anyone shows up. That way there are no open questions when the work begins.
The price is confirmed before the visit is scheduled, based on what you describe on the call. If the scope changes once the work is underway, that conversation happens before any additional work proceeds. You are not presented with a different number at the end without having agreed to it first.
The most common signs are reduced water pressure throughout the house, discolored water at the faucet, or leaks appearing in more than one location. Homes in South Valley and the surrounding Bernalillo County area often have galvanized steel supply lines that corrode from the inside out over time. If you are seeing any of those signs, a diagnostic call is the right first step, and we can scope what the pipes actually need from there.
Yes, we work with property managers, landlords, and multi-unit property owners throughout South Valley and Bernalillo County. The process is the same as for a homeowner: scope the job on the call, confirm the price before anything is scheduled, and complete the work to code.
If you manage multiple units and need reliable plumbing service across your properties, call (505) 369-4282 and we can talk through what that looks like.
We handle commercial plumbing repair and installation alongside residential work. That includes drain cleaning, fixture repair and replacement, water heater installation, sewer line service, and plumbing rough-in for new construction and remodels. Commercial accounts across South Valley and Bernalillo County are welcome to call, and the scope and price are confirmed before any work is scheduled.
Call (505) 369-4282 and let us know.
We will work out a new time that fits your schedule. Because we are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, there is usually flexibility to find another window without a long wait.
Clear access to the area where the problem is located, whether that is under a sink, in a utility room, or at the water heater. If you know where the main water shutoff is, make a note of it in case it needs to be closed quickly. Beyond that, you do not need to do anything special before the visit.
This is worth discussing when you book. Let us know on the call if access arrangements need to be made, and we will confirm what works before the visit is scheduled. Planning that detail in advance keeps the visit on track and avoids a wasted trip.
It depends on what the job involves. A faucet repair or toilet replacement is usually a matter of an hour or two. A water heater replacement or a slab leak repair takes longer, and a whole-house repiping is a multi-day job. When you call, we will give you a realistic sense of the time involved based on what you describe.

From a clogged drain to a full slab leak repair, we handle the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work across South Valley and Bernalillo County. The table below lays out what each service covers, who it fits best, and one practical detail worth knowing before you call. If a job on your list is not here, call us and we will scope it on the phone.
| Service | Scope of Work | Typical Situations | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repiping (PEX) | Galvanized and polybutylene pipe removal, Whole-house PEX repipe, Code-compliant installation | Older South Valley homes with corroded, brittle, or repeatedly failing pipe material | PEX handles the temperature swings common in the high desert and is resistant to the scale buildup that shortens the life of metal pipe in hard-water areas. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement | Tank unit repair and replacement, Tankless installation, Sediment and element service | Any household losing hot water, running out faster than usual, or replacing an aging unit | Hard water in South Valley accelerates sediment buildup, which shortens tank life and reduces heating efficiency before the unit visibly fails. |
| Low-Flow & Water-Saving Fixtures | Low-flow toilet installation, Water-saving faucet and showerhead replacement, Fixture flow testing | Homeowners reducing water use or upgrading fixtures during a remodel | Pairing low-flow fixtures with a water softener extends fixture life by reducing the scale that clogs aerators and showerheads in hard-water areas. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Faucet replacement, Sink and hose bib installation, Shower and tub fixture repair | Homeowners upgrading fixtures or dealing with a drip that has not responded to basic fixes | Mineral scale from hard water is a common cause of dripping faucets and stuck valves in this area. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Jam clearing, Motor and reset diagnosis, Full unit replacement | Kitchens with a disposal that hums, leaks at the base, or will not run | A disposal that hums but does not spin is usually jammed rather than failed, and clearing the obstruction often avoids a full replacement. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing, Electronic leak detection, Supply line and valve repair | Homeowners seeing unexplained water bills, damp spots, or low pressure | Finding the source before opening walls limits the repair area and keeps the job scope predictable. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Single-drain clogs, Main line stoppages, Slow-drain diagnosis | Homes or rentals with slow, backed-up, or fully clogged drain | A main line stoppage that affects multiple fixtures at once usually needs a full line cleaning, not just a fixture-level fix. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Pressure regulator replacement, Shutoff valve repair, Supply line pressure diagnosis | Homes with pressure that has dropped gradually or spiked unexpectedly | A shutoff valve that was never fully reopened after a prior repair is one of the most common and easiest-to-miss causes of low pressure. |
| Water Softener & Water Treatment | Softener installation on main supply line, Whole-house filtration, Treatment media setup and testing | Households dealing with scale on fixtures, reduced water heater efficiency, or hard-water taste | South Valley sits in one of the hardest-water regions in the country, so treatment at the point of entry protects every fixture and appliance downstream. |
| Hard-Water Descaling | Scale removal from fixtures and aerators, Supply line flushing, Showerhead and valve clearing | Homes where flow has dropped at individual fixtures due to mineral buildup | Descaling a fixture restores flow quickly, but pairing it with a water treatment system prevents the buildup from returning. |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Major leak containment, Sudden sewer backup | Any situation where water is actively flowing where it should not be or a full loss of hot water has disrupted the household | Shutting off the main supply before we arrive limits water damage and makes the repair faster to scope when we get there. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running toilet repair, Flapper and fill valve replacement, Full toilet replacement | Homes with a constantly running, leaking, or non-flushing toilet | A running toilet can waste a significant volume of water daily, so a repair typically pays for itself quickly on the water bill. |
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing, Electronic leak location, Line repair or reroute under slab | Homes on concrete slabs with climbing water bills, warm floor spots, or unexplained pressure loss | Clay-heavy soil under most South Valley slabs shifts with moisture and temperature, which puts repeated stress on embedded copper and galvanized lines over time. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Sewer line clearing, Main line repair and replacement, Root intrusion removal | Properties with slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, or multi-fixture backups | Tree roots follow moisture into joints and cracks in older sewer lines and can cause a partial blockage long before a full backup occurs. |
