"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."

"Working with Ben and his crew was a great experience. Floor installation, major painting and construction of an extra closet was done with professionalism and attention to quality and customer satisfaction. We are already planning for additional work in the future by this company. Very pleased with the work. Thanks to Ben and the crew!"

"We had Babcock build/move a few walls, move our boiler, and move some electrical so our washing machine/dryer could be moved to another room. There was tile flooring done as well. The initial part of the job was fine. But when the subs were involved, things got out of control. The electrician decided to do some things in our boiler room without running it by us. Then a guy adding our dryer duct work decided to do something we explicitly didn't want done. That was fixed, but the more we looked, the more we saw the subs doing whatever they had to do the job quickly, not cleanly. Here we two years later and I am still finding sub-par work - things that make it look *I* did the job on the fly, not a "professional". Examples - the plumber cut out some copper tubing that was part of a heating zone. Rather than copper it back together, he decided to use PEX on a line whose water gets to 200F, above the rating of PEX. He insulated it, however, so one couldn't readily see what he did. Today, admittedly 2 years later, I go into the roof space and find the electrician installed some junction boxes and decided to leave them on the floor. Very quality job work - definitely show up on the next home inspection. Overall Babcock and brothers seemed fine. They choice and oversight of the subs was poor. If you go with them make sure to spec everything out that the subs will do, otherwise they will do it wrong. Fortunately we had them do a relatively small job before a possible kitchen remodel. Glad we didn't have these subs handle a bigger job that needs quality"

"We are still in the budgeting phase and have not contacted yet however Scott Hughes of Groundwork’s was a great resource. He provided detailed information on the issues and how they would resolve them for us."

"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.

"People have actually asked me where I got the slate!  Both the driveway and the backyard look brilliant.  They showed up when they said they would, did the job in a timely manner and were incredibly professional.  From now on whenever I have any jobs in my house that need concrete I will not hesitate to contact them.

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

For plumbing in NM, select materials rated for extreme freeze-thaw cycles, especially in unheated crawl spaces and exterior walls. At this high elevation, standard supplies fail during deep winter freezes. You must also choose materials resistant to mineral scale buildup due to the area's hard water. Finally, always install altitude-adjusted gas water heaters to ensure proper combustion and compliance with state building codes.

Helpful?

Address minor plumbing drips in exterior walls immediately, as these turn into catastrophic burst pipes during Ruidoso freezes. Watch for recurring slow drains and gurgling sounds, which signal invasive pine tree roots or early septic system failure. You must also monitor your fixtures for pressure drops and discoloration. These signs indicate severe mineral scale accumulation that destroys water heaters if left untreated at our high altitude.

Helpful?

To keep your family safe during plumbing work in Ruidoso, secure all septic lids and cleanout access points to prevent accidents. When winterizing your cabin, restrict access to crawl spaces where open pipes pose entrapment hazards. You should also hire a licensed professional for any permitted work. This guarantees your gas lines and water heaters meet strict safety standards, keeping your home secure for children and pets.

Helpful?

Distinguishing between plumbing issues and other repairs requires careful observation. In NM, interior wall moisture often stems from roof ice dam failures or melting snow rather than leaking pipes. Similarly, wet spots in your basement after monsoon season point to exterior drainage problems. If you smell sulfur near appliances, evacuate immediately and call your gas utility, as this indicates a dangerous gas leak rather than a water issue.

Helpful?

Prepare for Ruidoso winters by keeping emergency pipe repair materials accessible to quickly address burst lines during storms. Maintain a supply of compressed air tools for blowing out and winterizing pipes in seasonal cabins. For everyday plumbing maintenance, stock descaling treatments to combat local hard water buildup. If your property relies on a private waste system, keep septic-safe drain treatments on hand to protect your drain field.
