No hot water? Drain backing up? Water bill that makes no sense?
Call Paso Plumbing. A real person answers day or night, and you get the price before any work starts.
How Do You Pick a Good Plumber in El Paso?
When you search for a plumber near you, check three things before anyone touches your pipes:
1. The license. Every plumbing company in Texas works under a license from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Ask for the number and look it up on the TSBPE site. Ours is #12051.
2. A price before the work. A fair plumber looks first, then tells you the cost. You say yes before anything starts.
3. Who answers at night. Pipes don't burst on a schedule. Call after hours once. If you get voicemail, that's your answer.
We've worked on El Paso homes for 30 years. We pass all three.
Plumbing Services in El Paso
From a dripping faucet in Kern Place to a main line on the Eastside, here's what we handle. Each one links to its full page.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Grease, hair and mineral scale narrow a drain over time. We clear it with a cable or high-pressure water, then camera-check the line so it doesn't clog again next month.
Water Heater Repair & Replacement
El Paso's minerals settle in the bottom of the tank. That's the popping sound, and it's why heaters here wear out early. We fix and replace gas, electric and tankless units.
Leak Detection & Slab Leaks
Most El Paso homes sit on a concrete slab. When a line breaks under it, you see a bigger water bill or a warm spot on the tile. We find the leak with listening equipment before anyone cuts.
Sewer Line Repair & Cleaning
Mesquite and cottonwood roots go after sewer lines, especially in older neighborhoods. We run a camera first, so you see the problem before you pay for the fix.
Toilet Repair & Installation
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and in the desert that shows up on your bill fast. We repair or replace it, usually the same day.
Pipe Repair
A cracked, leaking or burst line? We repair single pipes in copper, PEX or galvanized, from under the sink to the yard line.
Repiping
Many homes built before the '90s still have galvanized pipe that rusts shut from the inside. Low pressure or brown water? We repipe the house in PEX, permits included.
Faucet & Sink Repair
White crust on aerators and worn cartridges are everyday problems with El Paso water. We repair or install faucets, sinks and fixtures.
Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation
Humming, jammed or leaking underneath? We repair it, or swap in a new disposal the same visit.
Commercial Plumbing
Restaurants, offices and apartment buildings across El Paso County. Grease lines, restrooms, water heaters and backflow.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipe, sewage coming up, no water at all. Call any hour. A person answers, not a machine.
Is It an Emergency, or Can It Wait?
Not every plumbing problem needs a 2 a.m. visit. Here's how to tell, and what to do before we get there.
| What You Notice | What It Usually Means | Do This Now | When to Call |
|---|---|---|---|
| You smell gas (rotten eggs) | Gas leak | Leave the house. Don't flip switches. From outside, call 911 and Texas Gas Service. | Call us after they clear it |
| Water spraying or pouring from a pipe | Burst pipe | Shut off the main valve, usually by the street meter or where the line enters the house | Now |

| Water bill jumped and you hear water running with taps off | Hidden or slab leak | Turn everything off and watch the meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, there's a leak. | Today |
| Warm spot on a tile or concrete floor | Hot water line leaking under the slab | Avoid using hot water and close the cold supply valve on the water heater | Today |
| No hot water | Water heater element, pilot or thermostat | Gas unit: check the pilot. Electric: check the breaker. | Today |
| Water heater leaking from the bottom of the tank | Tank failing | Turn off its water and its power or gas | Today |

Why El Paso Plumbing Is Different
A plumber from out of town can fix a pipe. Knowing why it broke here, and what will break next, takes local experience.
El Paso Water describes our water as moderately hard to hard. Calcium and magnesium leave white crust on faucets, settle in water heater tanks and slowly narrow older pipes. A yearly water heater flush cuts most of that damage.
Under much of the city sits caliche, a hard, cement-like layer of soil. Ground movement around it stresses lines buried under concrete slabs, which is why slab leaks are so common here. We find them with listening equipment, not a jackhammer.
July through September, one storm can dump more water than drains and yards can take. Backed-up drains, flooded cleanouts and roots that grew all summer into sewer lines show up right after.
Summers run over 100°F for weeks. Exposed lines, outdoor hose bibs and pipes in hot attics take a beating and wear out sooner.
Every few years a freeze like February 2011 hits, and pipes that were never wrapped burst all over town. Insulate outdoor lines and know where your main shut-off is before winter.
Kern Place, Sunset Heights, Manhattan Heights, Five Points and Segundo Barrio have many homes with original galvanized or cast iron pipe. Low pressure and brown water are early signs it's time to repipe.
Plumbing Through the El Paso Year
Our desert has its own calendar of plumbing problems. Here's what to watch for, and the one thing to do each season.
Winter (Dec – Feb)
Hard freezes are rare here, but when one hits, like February 2011, pipes in outside walls, hose bibs and swamp cooler lines burst. Old water heaters fail when they work hardest.
Do this: Wrap outdoor pipes, unhook hoses, and find your main shut-off now.
Spring (Mar – May)
Windy season. Freeze damage that stayed hidden starts leaking the day you turn the yard water and the swamp cooler line back on.
Do this: Run each outdoor faucet and check inside the wall for drips.
Summer (Jun – Aug)
Weeks over 100°F, heavy water use, and coolers running all day. Hard-water scale sticks cooler float valves so they overflow, and garage or attic water heaters run hot.
Do this: Flush the water heater and check the cooler float valve.
Monsoon & Fall (Jul – Nov)
July to September storms overload drains and push roots deeper into sewer lines. Fall is the best time for repairs, before winter calls pile up.
Do this: Camera-check a slow main line, and drain and shut off the cooler line before the first freeze.
