Chimayo is known for two things—El Santuario de Chimayo, where thousands of pilgrims walk during Holy Week, and the weaving tradition that's been here for generations. The community spreads through the valley at around 6,000 feet elevation, with the plaza area, neighborhoods along the high road, and properties up the canyon. This is traditional northern New Mexico—families who've been here for centuries, adobe homes from different eras, properties passed down through generations. Plumbing here reflects that history. Older homes have systems that have been modified repeatedly over decades, sometimes by family members, sometimes by various contractors over the years. Quality of previous work varies wildly. Some homes have well water, others are on small community systems, and a few have connections to newer lines. Septic systems are standard. The weaving studios and galleries need functional plumbing too, though they're usually straightforward. What makes Chimayo distinct is the cultural context—you're working in people's family homes, places with history and meaning. Respect matters here as much as technical competence.

How Chimayo's Climate Affects Your Plumbing & HVAC
Average Temperature: 50°F
cold winters, historic plumbing systems
Climate Impact on Your Systems:
- Winter: Chimayo winters get cold—the valley can trap cold air on clear nights, and temperatures drop into the teens regularly. Adobe homes have good thermal mass but that doesn't help pipes in walls or crawl spaces. Frozen pipes are common when it really drops. Heating is often wood stoves supplemented by forced air or radiant systems. We see a lot of boiler and radiant work here.
- Summer: Pleasant summers with highs in the mid 80s typically. The elevation and canyon location provide afternoon shade. Monsoon rains can be heavy, causing drainage issues for properties in low spots along the river. Water usage goes up for gardens, which many families maintain for vegetables and chile. Evaporative coolers work fine here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing & HVAC in Chimayo
Get answers to common questions about plumbing and HVAC services in Chimayo, New Mexico
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.
