"Greg did a wonderful job with replacing our water heater and now works well and looks good. He was able to come in the next day after getting a quote from him. It did take him a whole day just because he didn’t have his helper. Otherwise, good service!"

"Christian and his assistant were very polite and considerate, and on time, and did their best to accommodate my chemical sensitivity. They found less expensive and chemical-free ways to do the work. They came back on Saturday to fix a leak by replacing a pop-up. I was very happy with their thoughtfulness and their work."

"The contract from the salesperson was complete and comprehensive. However, I was misinformed about the crews coming to perform my remodel. There was only one crew that did the demolition and installation. There was no licensed plumber. The project manager was missing for key issues. I feel the remodel was WAY overpriced for the amount of work performed."

"The summer of 2018, we were extraordinarily fortunate to work with the 50-year-old, second generation Santa Fe firm of Babcock Construction known for their expertise in new construction and renovation. We had the benefit of all the Babcock principals of which there are three, the patriarch Joe, who founded the firm in 1968 and his two sons, Richard and Steve each with 45 and 40 years’ experience respectively. All three bring particular specialties, perspectives and gifts to any job. On the team were their long standing first rate sub-contractors: tile setter, electrician, plumber, painter plus their in house carpenters. Our expectations were high, since both of us have backgrounds in new construction, renovation and historic preservation. The job consisted of renovating our Tesuque, NM 3000 sq.’ adobe style stucco house with the work on the garden scheduled for next spring. The three qualities that were present throughout are on-time completion at every stage of the project and attention to a very high level of detail on all aspects of the job. Of equal importance on the job is their overarching belief in solutions, not problems, which dictated each day’s outcome throughout the two and a half months. Other qualities that the three brought were attentive listening and a high degree of collaboration with each other and the clients. This project was a complete success and a pleasurable collaboration also filled with moments of humor and kindness. We recommend them very highly for anything needed done on a house."

"The job that was performed went exceptionally well. I didn't have a pick-up truck to retrieve the water heater from a local store, he went over to the store and picked it up for me. He removed the old one and installed the new one. He also cleaned up the water that leaked over when emptying the old one. I called Affordable Plumbing in the morning and he was right over with in the hour. He hooked up my water line for the evaporative cooler while he was here. The cost was much less than what I had anticipated, a whole lot less. I'm satisfied and thankful. He's upfront with cost and no hidden fees. I would definitely recommend Art Villalobos for plumbing  needs. I will use his services in the future.

Plumbing Handymen FAQs, answered by experts

Moisture on traditional adobe walls requires careful diagnosis to distinguish plumbing leaks from exterior rain intrusion. Reddish water pointing to corroded indoor pipes means you need a professional. Wet yard spots indicate failing sewer lines or separate irrigation system defects. If you smell gas, treat this as an immediate utility emergency requiring a specialized gas technician rather than standard NM water pipe repairs.

Helpful?

In Espanola, hard water from the Rio Grande causes severe pipe scaling and degrades water heaters. Sub-freezing winter temperatures frequently crack exposed plumbing in unheated garages and crawl spaces. Older adobe homes contain galvanized steel pipes that corrode from the inside out. You should also watch for root intrusion in clay sewer lines and check evaporative cooler connections before the cooling season begins.

Helpful?

Cosmetic plumbing, like swapping a faucet, requires no permits and finishes quickly. Functional repairs, such as repiping or fixing freeze damage, demand permits and municipal inspections. In older Espanola adobe homes, surface issues like stained walls frequently hide deep functional problems, such as corroded galvanized lines. A local professional probes beneath these cosmetic symptoms to address the true underlying failure before treating the surface.

Helpful?

Scheduling plumbing in NM requires patience due to a limited local contractor pool and travel times from nearby cities. High demand during winter freezes and fall winterization extends wait times significantly. Once a professional arrives, water heater replacements take a single day, while repiping older homes takes two to five days. Permit processing for major repairs adds several days to the total project timeline.

Helpful?

Thorough plumbing in Espanola includes proper freeze protection, like insulation on vulnerable exterior pipes. Professionals accommodate local hard water by applying appropriate joint preparation to prevent scale buildup. Before closing walls, the contractor must conduct a pressure test to verify secure connections. A signed-off permit and an active state license confirm the work meets safety standards. Water discoloration clears quickly after proper pipe flushing.
