Complete Plumbing Services for Pecos Homes and Businesses
Pecos is the county seat of Reeves County and the largest city in our western service territory, with a population of approximately 13,800. Located 80 miles west of Odessa along Interstate 20, Pecos anchors a regional economy built on agriculture, oil and gas production, and an expanding solar energy sector. The city's size and economic diversity mean plumbing needs range from simple residential faucet repairs to complex commercial kitchen installations and agricultural irrigation connections.
Resolv Services LLC holds Texas Plumbing License #42668 and provides the full scope of plumbing services in Pecos. We handle residential repairs and repiping, commercial plumbing for restaurants and businesses, water heater installation, drain cleaning and sewer inspection, gas line testing, leak detection, and water softener systems. Our 4.9-star Google rating from 185 verified reviews and BBB A+ accreditation stand behind every job.
Pecos customers benefit from our relatively short 80-mile drive from Odessa, which keeps response times quick and travel costs low. Call (432) 290-8511 for same-day or next-day appointments.
Older Homes and Galvanized Pipe: Pecos's Biggest Plumbing Challenge
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, over 45% of Pecos's housing units were built before 1970. That means thousands of homes in the city still have original galvanized steel supply pipes that are now 55 to 75 years old. Galvanized steel was the standard residential supply pipe material of that era, but it was never meant to survive this long — especially in hard-water regions. The Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission has documented that Reeves County groundwater hardness commonly ranges from 18 to 30 grains per gallon, some of the hardest water anywhere in Texas.
That extreme mineral content accelerates pipe corrosion dramatically. The interior walls of galvanized pipes fill with calcium and iron deposits that reduce water flow to a fraction of original capacity. Homeowners experience brown or orange water when they first turn on a tap, low pressure throughout the house, and pinhole leaks that appear without warning in walls and ceilings. We have repiped dozens of Pecos homes, and the improvement in water quality and pressure is immediate every single time.
A homeowner on South Cypress Street in Pecos called us about persistent discolored water and poor shower pressure. When we opened a section of the main supply line in the attic, the galvanized pipe's interior had shrunk from three-quarters of an inch to barely an eighth of an inch — like looking through a clogged straw. We completed a full PEX-A repipe in two and a half days, and the homeowner said the house felt brand new.
Agricultural and Commercial Plumbing in the Pecos Valley
Pecos earned its title as the "Cantaloupe Capital of the World" through decades of irrigated agriculture in the Pecos River valley. According to the USDA Census of Agriculture, Reeves County supports over 40,000 acres of irrigated farmland producing cotton, hay, pecans, and the famous Pecos cantaloupes. Agricultural properties need plumbing beyond the farmhouse: irrigation system connections, packing-shed wash stations, worker housing, and stock water systems all require licensed work.
On the commercial side, Pecos supports a full complement of restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and retail businesses that serve both residents and steady I-20 highway traffic. Commercial plumbing demands differ from residential. Restaurant kitchens need grease traps, commercial water heaters, and floor drains that meet health code. Hotels need reliable hot water delivery to every room and drain systems that handle peak-season loads. We handle all of it under our TX Plumbing License #42668.
The growing solar energy sector in Reeves County has brought new facility construction and worker housing that need code-compliant plumbing installations from day one. Contact us to discuss your commercial or agricultural plumbing project in Pecos.
Hard Water Solutions for Pecos Properties
Pecos sits on some of the hardest water in Texas. Whether your property uses city water or a private well, mineral content is a constant battle against your plumbing system. Water heaters accumulate scale that reduces heating efficiency and shortens tank life. Dishwashers and washing machines underperform because detergent cannot dissolve properly. Shower heads clog with white mineral deposits. Faucet aerators need cleaning or replacing far more often than manufacturers intended.
Resolv Services installs whole-home water softeners sized specifically for Pecos water conditions. We test your water on site, determine the exact hardness level and mineral profile, and recommend a system that matches your household size and daily usage. We carry and install systems from Watts and Pentair that are rated for the extreme mineral loads found across the Permian Basin and Pecos Valley.
A properly sized water softener pays for itself through extended appliance life, fewer plumbing repairs, lower water heating energy costs, and cleaner fixtures. We also install sediment pre-filters for properties with well water that carries sand or particulate matter. Contact us to schedule a water quality test and softener consultation.

Emergency Plumbing Service for Pecos and Reeves County
Plumbing emergencies in Pecos get fast attention from Resolv Services. At 80 miles from Odessa, our emergency dispatch reaches Pecos in about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. When you call (432) 290-8511, a licensed plumber answers and provides step-by-step guidance to contain the damage — whether it is a burst pipe, gas leak, sewer backup, or water heater failure flooding your garage.
Pecos is large enough that commercial emergencies carry real financial stakes. A restaurant sewer backup during dinner service or a hotel water heater failure with a full house of guests means lost revenue by the minute. We prioritize commercial emergencies that threaten business operations and public health, dispatching immediately with the right equipment on the truck.
For residential emergencies, we advise every Pecos household to know the location of their main water shut-off valve and their gas meter shut-off. Practice turning them off before you need to do it under pressure. That knowledge, combined with a fast call to us, limits damage and gets your home back to normal as quickly as possible.
Pecos has a large inventory of homes built during the 1940s-1960s railroad and agricultural era, most originally plumbed with galvanized steel supply lines. After 60-plus years of carrying Reeves County's extremely hard water — often exceeding 20 grains per gallon — these pipes are severely restricted by interior corrosion and mineral scale. Many Pecos homeowners have adapted to gradually declining water pressure without realizing the cause.
A camera inspection of accessible pipe sections reveals the extent of the problem. We recommend whole-home repiping with PEX-A for supply lines, which resists scale buildup and provides reliable flow for decades.
Reeves County has some of the hardest water in Texas, with municipal and well water sources commonly testing between 20 and 35 grains per gallon of total hardness. At these levels, untreated water destroys plumbing infrastructure at an accelerated rate: water heater elements calcify within two to three years, faucet cartridges seize with mineral deposits, and supply lines accumulate visible scale that restricts flow. A whole-home water softener is not a luxury in Pecos — it is essential infrastructure.
We install salt-based softeners sized to handle Reeves County's extreme hardness levels and pair them with reverse-osmosis drinking water systems for customers who want the cleanest possible water at the tap.
Pecos sits at 2,580 feet elevation in the Pecos River valley, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 105 degrees and winter cold fronts can drop temperatures below 20 degrees within hours. These temperature swings stress plumbing materials — PVC pipes in sun-exposed locations become brittle from UV degradation, while copper supply lines in unheated spaces contract enough during sudden freezes to crack at soldered joints. The summer monsoon season brings flash flooding that can overwhelm storm drainage and back up sewer laterals in low-lying parts of town near the Pecos River.
We recommend seasonal plumbing inspections in spring and fall to catch developing problems at both temperature extremes.
