We Bring the Supply House to Santa Fe

• Ground Shifting & Pipe Breaks

  The Problem: Ground Shifting & Pipe Breaks

  The clay soil in Santa Fe expands and contracts with the rain. During wet periods, the ground swells. During droughts, it shrinks and cracks. This constant movement snaps PVC water lines buried under driveways and creates “bellies” (dips) in sewer pipes where waste collects instead of flowing, leading to constant stoppages.

  The Blackmon Solution:
  We use sewer camera inspections to locate the break or belly exactly—no guessing, no digging up your entire yard. We perform permanent repairs using Schedule 80 PVC (which has thicker walls than standard Schedule 40) for water lines under driveways and high-stress areas. For sewer lines, we excavate the damaged section, re-grade it to proper slope, and bed it in gravel to prevent future settlement. You don’t have to call us back in six months.

• Well Water Quality

  The Problem: Well Water Quality

  Many homes in Santa Fe—especially those on larger acreage outside city water service areas—rely on private wells. The water is often hard (high in calcium and magnesium) or high in iron, which stains sinks, toilets, and laundry orange. Some wells also produce water with a sulfur smell (“rotten egg” odor).

  The Blackmon Solution:
  We install specialized Whole-Home Water Softeners and Iron Filters designed to treat well water—not the cheap big-box systems that fail in six months. We use commercial-grade resin tanks and digital control valves that can handle the heavier mineral loads found in well water. For iron, we use oxidizing filters that convert dissolved iron into particles that can be filtered out. For sulfur, we install chlorine injection systems or aeration tanks.

• Long Pipe Runs & Pressure Loss

  The Problem: Long Pipe Runs & Pressure Loss

  Rural properties often have long distances between the well/meter and the house. If you have a shop, barn, or guest house, the runs get even longer. Standard 3/4-inch copper or PEX lines lose pressure over long distances, leaving you with weak showers and appliances that won’t fill fast enough.

  The Blackmon Solution:
  We calculate pressure loss based on distance and elevation, then upsize the supply line to 1-inch or 1.25-inch PEX to maintain proper pressure at all fixtures. For properties with multiple buildings, we install a booster pump system with a pressure tank to ensure adequate flow everywhere.

• Propane Systems & Generator Hookups

  The Problem: Propane Systems & Generator Hookups

  Santa Fe residents know that power outages—whether from storms, equipment failure, or grid maintenance—can last hours or days. Without a properly sized generator gas line, your standby generator will starve for fuel and shut down when you need it most.

  The Blackmon Solution:
  We size and install gas lines for standby generators—both natural gas (if you’re on the grid) and propane (for tank systems). We calculate the generator’s BTU demand, size the pipe correctly (undersized lines cause low pressure and generator shutdown), and install the line from your meter or tank to the generator location. We pressure test every joint, pull permits, and ensure compliance with NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code).

• Septic System Inlet Lines

  The Problem: Septic System Inlet Lines

  Many Santa Fe homes are on aerobic or conventional septic systems. When the main line from the house to the septic tank develops a stoppage or break, waste backs up into your home. Tree roots, ground shifting, and old Orangeburg pipe (tar paper pipe installed in the 1960s-70s) are common culprits.

  The Blackmon Solution:
  We clear stoppages with cable augers and hydro-jetters designed for long runs (100+ feet). We perform camera inspections to identify the cause—roots, collapsed pipe, separated joints. If the line is damaged, we excavate and replace it with Schedule 40 PVC. We do not pump septic tanks (that’s a separate service), but we handle everything from your house to the tank inlet.
