A sewer line that keeps backing up is usually a broken pipe. We find the bad section, dig it up and put in new pipe with cleanouts.

Water line repair often starts with a wet spot in the yard or a sudden jump in the water bill. Albuquerque's Water Authority calls the pipe from the meter to the house the yard line. Wright Flow Plumbing and Heating repairs and replaces water lines and yard lines. We are based in Edgewood and work Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales and the East Mountains.
We find where the line is leaking, then fix that section or put in a new line. Repiping inside the house is part of our plumbing repair work. A leak inside a wall is a leak detection job.

A leaking yard line often shows up as a wet or green patch where nobody waters. A soft spot or a small sinkhole can open over the line. Inside, the pressure may drop and the bill may climb while your use stays the same. Water pouring from the ground is an emergency plumbing call, day or night.
The EPA says to read the meter before and after a two-hour period with no water used. If the reading changes at all, you probably have a leak. The Water Authority's meter guide says the triangle on the dial is a leak detector. It turns when water passes through the meter.
If your meter has AMI, the Water Authority lets you log in and see hour-by-hour water use. It says spikes could point to plumbing problems in the house or yard. If the yard stays dry, the leak may be under the house slab, which is slab leak repair.
A single leak in a sound line gets a section repair. We dig down at the leak, cut out the bad pipe and join in new pipe. New Mexico 811 says to call at least two business days before you dig. The call is free, and it is the law.
Water line replacement makes sense when the line is old galvanized or polybutylene, or when leaks keep coming back. We trench from the meter box or the well house and lay new copper, PEX or poly line. A new shutoff and riser go in where the line comes up into the house.
Frozen or rocky ground slows any dig, so a winter replacement can take longer. A sewer lateral is a different pipe, and our sewer line repair page covers it.
In an October 2024 notice, the Water Authority said its survey had not found any lead service lines in Albuquerque. Its inventory has a category called galvanized requiring replacement, for lines lead pipes may once have affected. You can enter your address on its service line inventory map to see what is known about your line.
When it replaces its side of a lead or galvanized line, it recommends replacing your side as soon as possible. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside, so an old galvanized yard line often loses pressure and leaks.
Many East Mountain homes run on a private well, and we repair and replace the line to the house. The well pump and pressure tank are work for a well contractor. Connecting a well home to Water Authority water means disconnecting the well line from the house. The Water Authority's sheet also calls for a thermal expansion device in the house piping.

Of all the plumbers I called for help, this is the only company that could fit me in same day. David came out within an hour of me calling and fixed the issue. He stayed on it until it was done, and I am so grateful that he was there when I needed help the most. He didn't charge an arm and leg, which was so appreciated in my situation.
