Emergency Plumbing · Edgewood, NM

24 hour emergency plumbing for homes and commercial buildings

A pipe splits at two in the morning and water runs down the wall. That is an emergency plumber call. Wright Flow Plumbing and Heating takes emergency calls 24 hours a day, at homes and commercial buildings. Call (505) 306-8285 any hour, day or night, and we will get you scheduled as fast as we can.

We are based in Edgewood and work Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales and the East Mountains, about 70 miles around. When you call, we ask what is happening and where the water is coming from. We can often talk you through shutting the water off before anyone gets there. A leak you cannot stop is an emergency, while a dripping faucet is a plumbing repair for a weekday.

  • Burst and frozen pipe repair
  • Water heater leaks and no hot water
  • Sewer and main line backups
  • Leaks under sinks, inside walls and under a slab
  • No water at the house
  • Main shutoff valves that will not close
  • Gas leak repair once the gas company has shut the line off
  • Night and weekend calls for rentals, offices and small commercial buildings

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

An emergency is water or gas you cannot control. A pipe that burst in a crawl space is one. So is a sewer backup in the tub, or a water heater pouring water on the floor. No water at all counts too.

Some things can wait for morning. A slow drip under the sink or a running toilet is usually a next day call. If you are not sure, call and describe what you see.

Emergency calls go to the front of the schedule. We take them 24 hours a day, at houses and at commercial buildings. On the phone we tell you where you sit in the line, then get there as fast as we can.

What to do before the 24 hour plumber gets there

Find your main shutoff before you need it. In Albuquerque and Rio Rancho it is often in a box near the street. On a well or a small water system, look near the tank or the meter. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops, then open a low faucet to drain the pipes.

If the water heater is leaking, shut the cold water valve on top of it. On a gas unit, turn the gas control to off. On an electric unit, switch the breaker off. That keeps it from heating an empty tank.

If you smell gas, do not hunt for the leak. Leave the building, take everyone with you, and call the gas company from outside. Some East Mountain homes run on propane, so that call goes to the propane supplier. Once the building is safe, call us for the gas line repair.

Frozen pipes in Albuquerque and the East Mountains

Winter here is colder than most people expect. Albuquerque averages about 93 nights a year at or below freezing, on NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals. Sandia Park averages about 171 of those nights, and Moriarty about 181. The East Mountains sit more than 1,000 feet above the valley, so the cold holds longer.

Pipes freeze where the heat does not reach. Hose bibs, crawl spaces, garage walls and lines in an unheated casita are the usual spots. A frozen line can split, then leak hard when it thaws. If a faucet goes dry on a cold morning, shut the water off and call us.

On a freeze call we find the split, cut the bad section out and put new pipe in. Many repairs finish on the first visit. A failed water heater or an odd valve can need a part we pick up in the morning. We will tell you what holds it tonight and what the real fix is.

FAQ

Emergency Plumbing Questions, Answered

Common questions about emergency plumbing across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, the East Mountains and about 70 miles around Edgewood. If yours is not here, call and ask.

Call (505) 306-8285

Do you take plumbing calls at night and on weekends?
Yes. We take emergency calls 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Call (505) 306-8285 and tell us what is happening. We will get you on the schedule as fast as we can.
How do I shut the water off to my house?
Look for the main shutoff where the water line enters the house, or in a box near the street. Turn it clockwise until it stops, then open the lowest faucet to drain the pipes. If the valve is stuck or snaps off, leave it alone and call us.
What does an emergency plumbing call cost?
It depends on what broke and what it takes to reach it. A split line under a sink is a different job from a leak under a slab. Parts, the time of day and how much we have to open up all change the price. We look at it first and give you a free estimate in writing.
Do you take emergency calls for rentals and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work for property managers, landlords and small commercial buildings such as offices, shops and restaurants. Tell us on the phone who is on site and who approves the work. We also set up preventative maintenance plans for repeat customers.
My water heater is leaking. Is that an emergency?
If water is running onto the floor, yes. Shut the cold water valve on top of the heater, then cut the gas or the breaker. A leak at a fitting is often a repair, while a leak from the tank means a new unit. Our water heater repair page covers both.
Sewage is backing up into the tub. What do I do?
Stop running water in the house, including the washer and the dishwasher. A backup in more than one fixture usually points at the main line. Often drain cleaning with a snake opens the line and the house drains again. If the pipe is broken or full of roots, it becomes a sewer line repair.
