Professional Plumber in El Porvenir, NM

We can reach El Porvenir when roads are passable, but severe winter weather sometimes makes access impossible for days at a time. Most El Porvenir residents understand the trade-offs of mountain living at 8,000 feet—you get incredible beauty and privacy, but services can be delayed by weather. We respond as quickly as conditions safely allow.

If you're not there all winter maintaining heat, absolutely. At 8,000 feet, anything with water in it will freeze solid without heat. We can drain all lines, add RV antifreeze to traps, shut down and drain water heaters and tanks, and prepare the place for winter. Come spring, we reverse the process. Many El Porvenir properties are seasonal for this reason.

From Las Vegas it's 20 to 25 miles up the mountain, figure 45 minutes to over an hour depending on road and weather conditions. It's remote even by rural New Mexico standards, which is part of what draws people there. Emergency response takes time—El Porvenir residents need to be prepared for self-sufficiency.
