Professional Plumber in Dixon, NM

Depends on well yield and your irrigation needs. A typical domestic well produces 5 to 10 gallons per minute, which handles household use fine but may not keep up with serious irrigation demands. Many Dixon farms have separate agricultural wells with higher capacity, or they use acequia water rights for irrigation and reserve well water for domestic use. We can test your well's yield and recovery rate to see if it can handle your planned use, or advise on installing a dedicated irrigation well if needed.

Probably a good idea if you're having problems. Farm buildings converted to residences often have plumbing added piecemeal—fixtures installed wherever convenient, pipes run exposed, minimal planning for expansion. If you're living there full-time and plan to stay, repl umbing with properly-sized supply lines, correct venting, and code-compliant installation makes sense. Cost varies by building size and current condition, but figure $5,000 to $12,000 for comprehensive repiping of a small to medium building. We can assess what you have and recommend priorities.

River valley wells tend to have decent water quality compared to some areas, but hardness is still an issue and some wells have iron. Water quality varies based on your specific location and well depth. The good news is valley wells usually have good yield, so water quantity isn't typically a problem like it can be in mountain areas. Get your water tested to see what you're dealing with, then treat as needed—usually a softener, sometimes iron filtration.

We handle domestic plumbing and basic agricultural water distribution—frost-free hydrants, supply lines to greenhouses or outbuildings, pressure systems. For complex agricultural irrigation design, you'd want an irrigation specialist. But for getting water from your well or supply line to where you need it on the property, we can handle that. We've worked on several Dixon farms and understand the dual domestic/agricultural water needs common here.
