Same-Day Service
Most service calls handled same-day across the Albuquerque metro — and we answer the phone 24/7.
Drains & Sewers
This Is Not a Wait-Until-Monday Problem
Sewage backing into a tub, shower or floor drain is a genuine health hazard, and every hour it sits makes the cleanup larger and more expensive. Flooring, drywall and cabinetry all start absorbing quickly.
We keep cable machines, jetters and cameras on the trucks, so an emergency call gets the same capability as a scheduled one. Stop using water in the house and call.
- A Person Answers You speak with our team, not a message service, and backups go to the front of the day's schedule.
- Fully Equipped Cable, jetter and camera carried so we can clear and diagnose in one visit.
- Priced Before We Start You approve the flat price even on an emergency call.
What We See
Call Immediately If
These situations are emergencies, not appointments.
-
Sewage in a Tub or Shower
Waste appearing at the lowest fixture means the main line is blocked.
-
Every Drain Is Slow
Simultaneous backup across fixtures points to the main, not a fixture.
-
Water Around a Floor Drain
Usually the first place a main-line backup surfaces.
-
Backup After Heavy Rain
Storm infiltration into a compromised lateral, which needs proper diagnosis.
What We Do
What We Do On Arrival
Stop the damage, then find the cause.
- Immediate Clearing Restore flow first so the house stops taking on water.
- Camera the Line Once flow is restored we look at why it happened.
- Hydrojetting Where grease, scale or roots caused it, jetting cleans rather than just opening.
- Clear Next Steps You get the footage and a proportionate recommendation, not a scare quote.

★★★★★
You work on my clogged kitchen sink. Thank you for being so prompt. I certainly appreciate it. Trevyn was patient. The price was challenging for me being on a fixed income. I continue to use your services because you do good work. Thank you.

I have used B. Carlson before and when I got the coupon for a great price on drain cleaning I called immediately. I was able to get an appointment within 2 days. The scheduling person and service tech was polite, explanatory, and responsive to questions. Drain is cleared and overall great service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while I wait?
Stop using water entirely — no toilets, sinks, laundry or dishwasher. Every gallon added makes it worse.
Do you charge more at night?
You approve the flat price before we start, so there are no surprise after-hours charges.
Will you have to dig?
Usually not to clear it. Excavation is only for structural failures, and only after a camera confirms it.
Do you cover Rio Rancho and the East Mountains?
Yes, the full metro plus Rio Rancho, Corrales, Bernalillo and the East Mountains.
