"Mario was very knowledgeable. I thought he needed to start inside at the back of the house, but he determined that the clog was between the front of the house and the main in the street. He opened the clean out in the front of the house and snaked until he got through to the street. I was pleased that he persevered and unclogged the drain. I would call him first when I need plumbing services. Thank you Mario!"

"I used Angie's List to look for a plumber and was quite apprehensive based on reading so many negative reviews about how many dishonest plumbers are in Albuquerque. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling called and left a message for me and I called this morning. My toilet wasn't draining, after repeating plunging. Fore Gen Plumbing called and told me their starting price is $129 and I wouldn't find a lower price. They were wrong. Albuquerque Plumbing, Heating & Cooling quoted me $75 for auger service, from the toilet side. The auger didn't work, so the plumber offered $105 drain cleanout service. When the clog was cleared in 5 minutes, he told me the $105 included a 90-day warranty, free reservice if I have any more clogs, leaks, issues. Corey did an outstanding job, very impressed with his professionalism, courtesy, honesty and integrity. Not only did he call ahead, arrived early, he wore a mask and shoe covers."

"After having a nightmare of a granite countertop install, I couldn't get the plumbing figured out on my own because the new sinks were so much deeper. After breaking the cleanout plug trying to get it off, it was time to call a plumber. No issue right? Wrong! I tried Angies List, no one would answer or return calls, and the two that did couldn't do it for a week at least. We were without a sink for 4 days already, so we decided to try Home Advisor. With others here doing the same, I called N & J's and they promised me they would get by the same day and fix the issue, that they were going to be in my area anyways. They told me they'd be by at 3, or sooner if they could, but would call me if it changed. I came home from work at 2:58, and they showed up 2 minutes later, right on time. I put the dogs out and let Anthony and his tech in. I showed the problem, showed pictures of the plumbing before, and what I had done already, I also showed them the parts I had picked up from Lowes. I can't say enough good about these guys, they were SUPER friendly, very courteous, and clean. REALLY clean. They not only fixed my problem in under an hour, they leak tested everything, opened it back up if it leaked and fixed it (including the garbage disposal adapter I had installed), tightened everything correctly (again, including water fittings for my faucet, checked the air gap I installed, and tightened the sink drain I installed too), and even used some of the parts I had picked up to save me money. They used some gaskets and parts they had on hand, and were complete professionals, teaching me some stuff during the process. They even used some of the tools I had sitting there when I offered instead of having to head out to the truck to get their own. In the end, it cost me $100, of which I tipped on top of because they were so friendly and helpful, and QUICK. I feel like I have a real plumber I can call on at any time. They cleaned up everything, took out the leftover garbage that I had sitting around, and packed up the extra parts and reciepts for me to return the unused material. I'm leaving Angies List, this company wasn't even shown there!"

"Matthew Jaramillo did an excellent job replacing the gasket on my leaking home toilet. He found several other minor problems with the toilet and fixed those also. All in all he provided the best service of any plumber that I have experienced in the 55 + years that I have lived in Albq. Based on the rather many plumbers I have used during that time I would highly recommend NCB and especially Matthew for any of your plumbing needs."

"Arrived on time, and repaired the leaking pipe under my kitchen sink. He's personable, and easy to talk to. Randy didn't talk down to me, he explained everything that was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it. When he was finished he made sure all areas around where he worked was cleaned up before he left. When I have more plumbing problems I will be calling Randy again, I highly recommend him!!!"

"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters. 

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there’s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out.
