KSM is a local and independently owned small business dedicated to providing superior personalized service to meet the needs of the Albuquerque community.

From the first request to know prices to setting up the day and time Kevin was very punctual. He did warn us up front that IF he found nothing unusual what the price would be. Although once he lifted the toilets off the base we found that they were never properly installed to begin with. We paid the extra amount to make sure that we would never have the problem again. Kevin did offer us a short cut fix but could not guarantee it would work due to the original install problems. We opted to have it done right which Kevin did guarantee. Kevin had to work in some tight places, but no matter he did a very good job cleaning up afterwards. He was polite, punctual and professional. If you want the job done right I suggest dealing with KSR Plumbing. Thanks Kevin. You are from now on the guy we will call on. Roch

I purchased a "Big Deal" coupon for 2-hours of plumbing service for $99, and there were additional charges of $28.89 for parts. I had a new ball valve and brass nipple installed on a tankless water heater (the old ones were severely corroded). I also had a bathroom sink drain snaked and a toilet augered to improve flushing. The technician was very personable and professional; and he worked quickly and efficiently, completing all the requested tasks well within the 2 hours. When he finished early, he asked if there was anything else he could do for me and wound up checking a shower drain to see if needed any cleaning (turns out it did not). Throughout, he clearly explained what he was doing, why, and what I could expect in the way of outcomes. He seemed very conscientious and trustworthy. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience and a fair price.

Kade Hardy was prompt, polite, pleasant, and professional. Although the price seemed high for such a brief service, I was reassured that it would be safe to start using the furnace. Since the furnace was old, I was unsure about its safety, although it showed no bad symptoms. Kade reassured me.
Description of Work: Inspected and checked an old wall furnace for cracking, overheating, flame output. Started it up and pronounced it safe and in good, sturdy condition.

I am so glad I got a second opinion! The first plumbing company wanted to tear up my driveway to replace the line to my house, which hey gave me an estimate of $1300 for. KSM said the leak was inside the box. They fixed it. No more leak. And only $264. Great to work with; I'll use them again for my house and my rental properties.
Description of Work: Repaired a leak in the meter box by the street. Leak was on my side of the meter, so my responsibility.

Kevin and his guys are really wonderful to work with. They have been the plumbers for our older home remodel project over the summer, handling all things related to gas and water. They have solved some tricky problems in our older home, and cleaned up some ugly plumbing problems that were decades-old. He coordinated inspections, new water lines and hooked up all of our new appliances. They even showed me how to work the existing gas fireplace, and did our furnace changeover last time they were called. I went with them because they were the only plumber to actually go under our house to give an estimate the first time out. None of the others would, for an estimate. I knew he would be thorough. They are respectful, professional, thorough and punctual. He and his two guys are very nice and trustworthy. Next up will be the bathrooms, and I will be calling KSM when that time comes.

Called and was ready to go early. Professional, quick, and explained what he was doing. Kade went over entire invoice to show exactly what charges were. Had 2 hours at $99 through Angies L special offer, plus paid for additional hour and parts. Didn't charge me for time it took to run out and get a couple parts. Would use again, and from someone that owns a Real Estate company, I would recommend for my clients.

To say I am more than pleased with the job Kevin, Kade, and KC completed would be an understatement. These three very cordial and professional technicians completed all of the jobs on time and as requested in one day as agreed upon. This included all required new code upgrades and on site manufacture of new ducting with damper for the furnace Unfortunately, one of the toilets had a manufacturing discrepancy between the bowl and tank, but KSM stepped up and had the issue resolved first thing the following morning. I strongly recommend Kevin, Kade, and KC of KSM for all of your plumbing and HVAC needs in the future, they were truly a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: I contacted Kevin Meek (owner) of KSM to get an estimate to remove and replace a 50 gallon water heater, furnace, two toilets, shower valve cartridge, shower trim kit, and repair leaking cold side shower valve line.

Kevin arrived at the time we agreed on. This was suppose to be for an estimate for parts. When I showed him what I needed done, he said it would be just a service call. Kevin removed the hose from the hot water faucet. It did take awhile, but it had been on the faucet for a long while. He had his assistant put on the new hot water hose and connect it to my washer. Kevin and his assistant were very nice and polite. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable in why the water hose was stuck to the faucet. I will recommend him and his company to co-workers, neighbors and friends and family. He did a great job and I am completely satisfied with the work done and the price.

I called after hours because I thought my water heater was leaking. I left a message on the voicemail and Kevin got back to me within about 15 minutes. Working around my schedule he was able to come out the following morning. He was quickly able to diagnose my problem as a leaking valve, not the water heater. Kevin then provided me with an estimate for replacement of the valve and once the estimate was accepted, Kevin had his two employees bring out and install the correct part. I have not had any problems since Kevin replaced the valve and I would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Kevin found and repaired the problem with my water heater.

I called Kevin because my shower valve burst and I needed it capped off so I could get the water back on in the house. It was Friday afternoon and he was working all the way over in Rio Rancho (I live in the NE Heights.) He said he would help and was out within an hour and a half of my call. He was very courteous and even gave me advice on new valves and how I could replace my toilets. Highly recommend him.

He and an associate/helper arrived on time, and they got right to work. The sink install was not straightforward - the granite installers had cut the hole too close to the sink for the plumbing fixture. They machined a small part to make it work, and it looks and works perfectly. The replacement part was done quickly, and the inspection also was quick. They tightened a few fixtures.Thye cleaned up after themselves well. I only rated the price as a "B" because it was much more than I expected to pay with the big deal coupon. But the work was great in every way. Next time I would ask for a written estimate.

I have used KSM in the past and was thoroughly satisfied. Kevin has even directed me on the phone how to do simple repairs to save me expense. This time his assistant, Kade, came and went through the items on the warranty inspection one by one explaining what he needed to do and then doing it. He also helped me identify things in the house that I didn't understand and even rapidly repaired the loose drainpipe IN THE RAIN. His manner was extremely pleasant and friendly yet, professional. Afterwards I found a little problem I hadn't identified, I called Kevin and he told me, once again, over the phone how to fix it myself.

Called in the afternoon and as it worked out they were able to respond and check the leak out within an hour or less. They recommended a way to keep using the leaky heater until night and then turn it off. They explained what type of heater brand they use, warranty periods and also what was needed to bring it up to current code. They also offered to put in any model I preferred. They called the next morning to inform me they were on the way with everything and even arrived a little earlier than what was projected. No problem with that. They explained the work should take about 4 hours or less. We had to leave due to prior commitments, but left them with a garage opener so they could lock up if they finished before we got back. They called about 3.5 hours later and said they were done. When we arrived home we inspected the installation and everything looked very professional, they cleaned up and took the trash away. Only one small glitch. They forgot to turn the water on to the hot water heater before they left. Gave me a chance to check out the new valve. The water out of the kitchen faucet was at 120 degrees. Exactly what our dish washer calls for. I'm very satisfied with the work. They even knocked an additional $50.00 off since the installation went so easy for them.

The old heater was removed, and the new one was moved into the basement. The new water was installed along with several mandatory safety code upgrades in a matter of a couple of hours. They cleaned up, tested the heater and purged the trapped air in the lines. Now I can't run out of hot water even when I try. I am very pleased. Don't let the cost of my system dissuade you from using KSM. His labor rates are very reasonable and the majority of the extra cost was for the water heater itself. One last thing I learned about during this process was the importance of anode rods. The only difference between a 6 year tank warranty and a 12 year tank warranty is the size of the sacraficial anode rods. These rods are made of If you install a 6 year heater, have the installer use Teflon tape on the anode rod threads which makes it much easier to replace 5 years later. Many companies now make replacement anode rods that fold up, making them very easy to install. If you don't replace the original anode rod, once it is used up, it
Description of Work: I needed a new water heater installed in my basement as my current one was leaking. My current water heater was a 50 gallon, 50,000 BTU but with two girls that like to take deep baths and long showers, we often had to delay running the dish washer while the heater caught up. Kevin suggested upgrading to a 75 gallon 75,000 BTU heater. He came by to check out the ducting and provide a quote.
