Professional Plumber in Chimayo, NM

It's common here—homes get additions, bathrooms get added, different work happens over decades. The challenge is making sure everything works together properly and is done to code. Sometimes we find mixing of materials that shouldn't be mixed—galvanized connected to copper causing corrosion, improper venting, inadequate support. We can assess your whole system, identify any problem connections or code issues, and recommend what needs attention now versus what can wait. The goal is a functional, safe system that respects your home's character.

Yes, and we understand what that means. These aren't just houses—they're family homes with generations of history. We work carefully, explain what we're doing and why, minimize disruption, and clean up thoroughly. We respect your home and your family's connection to it. That's as important as the technical work. Many Chimayo families have used us for years because we understand the community.

Probably a zone valve problem or air in the lines. Radiant systems common in Chimayo homes have multiple zones controlled by valves. If a valve sticks or fails, that zone doesn't get hot water. Air trapped in lines also prevents proper circulation. We can bleed the system, check zone valves, verify the circulation pump is working properly, and get heat distributed evenly again. Sometimes it's simple, sometimes it requires valve replacement, but we'll diagnose it properly before recommending repairs.

Varies significantly by location. Some Chimayo wells have decent water, others have hardness, iron, or other issues. Water quality depends on your specific aquifer and depth. The good news is most problems are treatable with appropriate filtration or softening. Get your water tested to see exactly what you're dealing with, then we can design treatment that addresses your specific situation. Cost runs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on what needs treatment.
