Homes in Los Lunas run into the same plumbing problems that come with slab construction, hard water, and aging pipe: slow drains, hidden leaks, water heaters that stop keeping up, and supply lines that have been working quietly for decades until they are not. We handle all of it, from a single dripping faucet to a full repiping job.
Call (505) 369-4282 for a quote, and you get the scope and the price before anything is scheduled.
Rental properties and commercial buildings in a town this size tend to have their own rhythm. A landlord dealing with a backed-up drain in a tenant unit needs the problem resolved without a long back-and-forth. A small business that cannot shut water off for half a day needs a plumber who will work around that. We cover both sides of the work, and we are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM to take the call.
A wet patch on a wall, a floor that feels soft underfoot, a cabinet under the sink that smells like it has been damp for a while: none of those are the leak itself. They are where the water ended up. The actual failure is usually somewhere else entirely, and finding it without opening every wall in the house takes more than a visual check.
We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection to locate the source before any repair work begins. Those methods narrow the problem down to a specific section of pipe, which limits what has to come apart to reach it. A slab leak is a particular version of this. Homes built on concrete slabs, which is most of the housing stock in this part of New Mexico, run their supply and drain lines through or under the slab itself. When the clay-heavy soil underneath shifts, or when a pipe corrodes from the inside out over time, the leak is hidden under several inches of concrete and the only sign at the surface might be a water bill that keeps climbing or a warm spot on the floor.
Finding the location first is what keeps a slab leak repair from becoming a larger excavation than it needs to be. Once the location is confirmed, we go through the repair options and give you the price before any concrete is touched.
A supply line that fails inside a wall usually announces itself slowly. The paint bubbles, the drywall goes soft, or a musty smell develops before any water is visible. By the time it is obvious, the damage has been building for a while. We locate the leak with pressure testing and electronic detection, then open only what needs to be opened to reach it. The repair covers the failed section, and every connection in the area is tested before we leave.
A shutoff valve that will not fully close is a problem that tends to get deferred until something forces the issue. When a toilet needs replacing or a supply line under a sink starts weeping, that valve is the thing standing between a manageable repair and water running somewhere it should not. We replace main shutoff valves, fixture shutoffs, and isolation valves throughout the supply system. If yours has been stiff or unreliable, it is worth replacing before it matters.
A pipe that has split at a joint or along its length needs to be addressed before the water reaches anything it can damage. We repair and replace burst sections in supply lines, drain lines, and the runs that connect fixtures to the main. The repair is scoped on the call so you know what the visit covers before anyone arrives.
When a sewer line is slow, backing up, or showing signs of root intrusion, a camera inspection tells you exactly what is happening inside the pipe before any digging starts. We run a camera through the line, identify the location and nature of the problem, and give you a clear picture of whether a spot repair or a full replacement makes more sense. That information is the basis for the quote, not a guess.
Pricing starts on the phone. When you call, the job is scoped based on what you describe: the symptom, where it is located, and what has already been tried. That conversation produces a price before anything is scheduled.
What moves a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be, and what has to come apart to reach it. A slow drain that clears with a snake is a different job from a slow drain caused by a collapsed section of sewer line. If the diagnostic turns up something different from what the call described, that is a separate conversation with a separate price before any additional work proceeds. You are not handed a different number at the end without having agreed to it first.
Permit and inspection requirements vary depending on the scope of the work and where on the property it falls. Where a permit applies, we talk through what that involves before the job is scheduled.
We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including weekends. When you call, you reach someone who can scope the job on the phone and confirm what is available. The schedule and the timing are settled on the call.
For problems that will not keep, emergency plumbing calls are accepted within those hours. A burst pipe, a major leak, a complete loss of hot water, or a sewer backup that is affecting multiple fixtures all qualify, and they are treated as the priority they are.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work through the access and timing on the call before the visit is booked. A rental unit where a tenant is home, or a commercial space that cannot shut water off mid-service, is a scheduling conversation, not a complication. The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
There is a meaningful difference between a single drain that is slow and a situation where every drain in the house is sluggish or backing up at once.
A single fixture that is clogged points to a blockage in the branch line serving that fixture. A kitchen sink that drains slowly, a bathroom sink that holds water, a toilet that takes two flushes: each of those is a localized problem in the line directly behind or below that fixture. A snake or a hydro jet clears the blockage and restores the flow.
When the whole house is slow, or when a backup at one fixture causes another to gurgle, the problem is further down the line. A main line clog, a root intrusion in the sewer run, or a damaged section of pipe that is restricting flow throughout the system will show up as a pattern across multiple fixtures rather than a single one acting up. That distinction matters because the fix is different. Clearing a branch line is a shorter job than clearing or repairing the main. We run a camera through the main when the pattern points there, so the repair is based on what the line actually contains rather than what it might.
Drains that run clear. Faucets that don't drip. Pipes that hold.
We cover Los Lunas and the communities around it throughout Valencia County. Nearby areas we serve include Belen, Los Chaves, El Cerro, Tome, and Valencia. Residential calls, rental properties, and commercial accounts across the county are all within our regular area.
Coverage extends to the full scope of what we do: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement for both tank and tankless units, toilet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, water softener and filtration installation, garbage disposal work, shutoff valve repair, repiping, and emergency plumbing. For the complete picture of what each type of job involves, the services page covers all of it.
Call and describe the situation on the phone: which fixture is affected, whether the tenant is home, and whether the water needs to be shut off for the repair. The visit is scoped and the timing is worked out before anything is booked. We can accommodate occupied units and confirm the access arrangements in advance so the tenant is not caught off guard and the repair is not delayed by a scheduling problem that could have been settled on the call.
Often yes, though some problems need a hands-on look to confirm. A description of the symptoms, which fixtures are affected, and whether the problem is getting worse gives us enough to scope the job and explain the most likely cause before the visit is scheduled.
Yes, and it is one of the more consistent patterns in this part of New Mexico. High mineral content in the water supply leaves scale inside pipes, inside tank water heaters, and on fixture components over time. That buildup reduces flow, shortens the life of heating elements, and contributes to the kind of corrosion that shows up in older galvanized supply lines. A water softener or filtration system addresses the problem at the supply line before it reaches the fixtures.
In some situations yes. If a pipe has a single failure point and the rest of the system is intact, a targeted repair can stabilize things while a longer-term plan is worked out. We will tell you on the call whether a temporary approach is reasonable for what you are describing, and what the tradeoffs are.
Yes.
If you manage plumbing work across several properties, you can call (505) 369-4282 and set up an arrangement that keeps things organized.
We handle the scheduling and the scoping through a single call rather than requiring a separate process for each address.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including weekends.
If a restaurant, a commercial kitchen, or another business needs drain cleaning outside of peak operating hours to avoid disruption, call (505) 369-4282 and we will work out a time that fits.
Yes. After any repair or installation involving supply lines, we pressure-test the affected section to confirm there are no remaining leaks before we leave. Fixtures and lines are left working, and we check the work before we go.
The first step is locating the leak precisely using pressure testing and electronic detection, so the repair is targeted rather than exploratory. Once the location is confirmed, the options typically involve either accessing the pipe through the slab directly or rerouting the affected line above the slab to avoid cutting concrete altogether. Which approach makes more sense depends on the pipe material, the location, and the extent of the damage. All of that is covered in the quote before any work begins.
Often yes, depending on the material and the extent of the problem. Some discontinued pipe materials can be repaired at the failure point using compatible fittings. Others, like polybutylene, are prone to widespread failure and are better replaced throughout. We will tell you which situation you are in and what the options are.
A slow drain that gets ignored becomes a main line problem. A shutoff valve that is stiff but still closes becomes a valve that will not close at all when you need it to. A water heater that runs out of hot water faster than it used to is telling you something. Most plumbing problems do not resolve on their own, and the ones that get deferred tend to cost more to fix than the ones that get called in early.
Call (505) 369-4282.
The scope and the price are settled on the phone, and the visit is booked from there. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
We test every fixture. We check every valve. We leave it dry.

From a clogged drain to a full slab leak repair, we handle the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work across Los Lunas and Valencia 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Los Lunas 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. |
| 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. |
