Our History

Family-Owned, People-Focused

Founded by Byron Carlson in 1971, we’ve been focused on people over profits since day one. After recognizing a lack of reputable and reliable plumbing companies, we started the company we wished existed to fill that void.

We believe a great business should always have a person answer the phone, call when they’re on the way, and not bill you more because the sun is down.

With a team that stands behind their work with fair, consistent pricing and a workmanship guarantee, we ensure excellence in every job we complete!

Yes — we’re here for plumbing and HVAC emergencies whenever you call.

A real person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to understand what’s happening and guide you toward the right next step — whether that’s immediate dispatch or the next available appointment during regular hours, including Saturdays.

What Counts as an Emergency?

Not every urgent situation requires a middle-of-the-night dispatch — but many do. When there’s a safety concern, flooding risk, sewer issue, or a major comfort system failure in extreme weather, it should be treated as an emergency.

Emergencies usually fall into one of three categories:

  1. Water that’s running where it shouldn’t be
  2. HVAC equipment that has failed in unsafe conditions
  3. Sewer issues that threaten your health or property

If you’re unsure, calling is always the right move — we’ll walk through the problem and help you decide.

Common Emergencies We Handle

Common emergencies usually fall into two categories — urgent plumbing/drain issues and heating or cooling failures during unsafe conditions. Below is a quick guide to the types of problems we treat as emergencies, along with resources from our blog to help you understand what’s happening.

Emergency Issue (with Blog Link) Why It’s an Emergency

Burst Pipe or Major Leak
Water escaping where it shouldn’t can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards within minutes. Shut off your water and call immediately.

Sewer Backup or Strong Sewer Odor
Sewage backing up into drains or entering your home is a direct health risk. This requires immediate professional attention.
No Water or Sudden Loss of Water Pressure A sudden drop in water pressure or no water at all may signal a broken main line, a major underground leak, or severe blockage. These issues can worsen rapidly and require prompt diagnosis.

No Heat During Freezing Temperatures
In freezing weather, losing heat can quickly become unsafe for children, older adults, and pets. This should always be treated as an emergency.

HVAC Failure During Extreme Heat
Albuquerque heat can push indoor temperatures to dangerous levels. A sudden AC failure or evaporative cooler blowing hot air during a heatwave is more than uncomfortable — it can be unsafe.

Burning Smells, Smoke, or Electrical Issues from HVAC Equipment
These symptoms may indicate overheating, electrical failure, or fire risk. Turn off the system and call immediately for guidance.
