Eric Maxon: Albuquerque Plumbing Contractor With 41 Years of Experience

Four Decades of Learning the Hard Problems

Eric learned plumbing in the field, gaining experience one problem at a time. He also continued his education at Central New Mexico Community College, earning an associate degree, and studied at the University of New Mexico.

This combination of hands-on experience and formal education shapes how he approaches difficult plumbing problems. Eric is especially drawn to cases where the obvious symptom is not the real cause.

To Eric, sewer line failures, complex boiler systems, failing water services, gas piping, whole-home repiping, hidden leaks, backflow systems, and commercial plumbing require diagnosis, judgment, and understanding of how the entire system fits together.

Experience Means Knowing When Not to Take a Shortcut

Eric’s approach is straightforward: diagnose the problem thoroughly, explain options clearly, and recommend solutions that provide lasting value.

His technical qualifications reflect this breadth. Along with New Mexico mechanical and plumbing credentials, he has pursued specialized training in Navien systems, Uponor PEX, Viega press technology, water treatment, and major plumbing fixture manufacturers like Delta and Kohler.

Ask Eric what he specializes in, and he describes a category, not a service.

Complex sewer repairs. A boiler that will not behave. A failing water service line, whole home repiping, gas piping, leak detection, camera diagnostics, backflow, commercial systems.

The result is not just a longer list of certifications but a broader technical perspective that helps Eric see how different components and systems interact.

Leadership That Extends Beyond the Jobsite

Eric’s influence reaches well beyond the customers he serves directly. He has taken an active leadership role in the plumbing industry.

He serves as National Board Member of PHCC, National Advisory Committee Member of QSC, Treasurer of the North American Backflow Association, and a member of the State of New Mexico Tech Committee for medical gas.

This professional involvement matters because Eric is not content to practice the trade. He wants to help strengthen it.

His work with industry organizations involves conversations about training, standards, business practices, workforce development, and the future of skilled trades. It is another way his four decades of experience benefit people beyond his own customers.

A Plumber Who Believes Community Is Part of the Job

Eric’s commitment to Albuquerque is just as personal as his commitment to the plumbing profession.

He has spent decades volunteering with community and nonprofit organizations, including long-standing relationships with the Ronald McDonald House, the Jewish Community Center, local churches, and other organizations. He has also served in leadership roles within the Albuquerque Jewish community and supported youth through years of involvement with BBYO.

That service reflects Eric’s belief: a local business owner should give back to the community that has given him so much.

For him, community involvement is not separate from professional life. It is part of being a good neighbor.

Extra Care When It Matters Most

After 41 years in plumbing, Eric has seen nearly every difficult problem a home or business can face. But technical experience is only part of what he believes customers deserve.

For Eric Maxon, the work is about more than pipes and equipment. It is about solving problems properly, earning trust one customer at a time, and contributing to the community he has called home for nearly five decades.
