Three things: we diagnose before we clear, we have been working on Albuquerque sewer lines since 1971, and we give you a firm written price before starting. The first one matters most — repeated cabling without a camera is how homeowners pay for a sewer replacement in installments.
We Find the Cause, Not Just the Clog
Anyone can push a cable through a blockage and restore flow for a few months. The question is why the line blocked. Roots? A sag holding standing water? A cracked joint? Grease buildup? A camera inspection answers it, and the answer determines whether you need a cleaning schedule, hydrojetting, a spot repair, or replacement. Clearing without diagnosing guarantees a repeat visit.
Fifty Years of Local Lines
Albuquerque’s sewer problems have a local signature. Established neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots find laterals at joints and cracks. Housing stock built before 1980 commonly has cast iron or clay, both of which fail in characteristic ways. Slab-on-grade construction changes what a repair involves. Since 1971 we have worked on all of it, which means we can usually tell you what we expect to find before the camera goes in.
Right Method for the Pipe
Hydrojetting is powerful and safe on sound pipe — but it is not right for cast iron corroded thin or clay with separated joints, where it can worsen existing damage. We camera first and match method and pressure to actual condition rather than using one tool for everything. We also do not use caustic chemical cleaners, which damage older pipe and rarely clear real blockages.
Pricing You See First
Flat rate by the job, in writing, approved before work starts — including on 2 a.m. emergency calls. Technicians are not paid on commission, so no one has a financial reason to recommend excavation over a cleaning.
One Company for the Whole System
We handle drains and sewers, full plumbing, and HVAC — so a sewer problem that turns out to be a supply line issue does not require a second contractor. Every job carries our Home Comfort Guarantee, and you can read our customer reviews.
