Fixture Repairs and Installation
Toilet Repair
For a toilet that runs, flushes weakly, keeps clogging, or leaks at the base. Most fixes come down to the flapper, the fill valve, or the wax ring. Lift the tank lid: water spilling into the overflow tube points to the fill valve, and a warped or slimy flapper is a likely leak. Water at the base can soak the subfloor, so have it looked at soon. More on toilet repair.
Faucet Repair
Work on the faucet itself: handle, spout, spray head, and the parts inside. Drips and stiff handles usually trace to a worn cartridge or washer, or mineral buildup. If water comes from the spout or around the handle, it is a faucet job. If it comes from the drain, basin, or pipes under the cabinet, it is sink repair. See faucet repair.
Sink Repair
Everything below the faucet: the basin, the drain, and the connections under the cabinet. We fix slow drains, leaking P-traps, and loose drain or supply joints. To find a leak, run water for a minute, dry the pipes, and hold a dry paper towel under each joint. The first one to get wet is your leak, and sometimes it is just a slip nut you can snug by hand.
Shower Repair
For a dripping shower, a valve that will not shut off cleanly, weak spray, or temperature that swings. Worn cartridges and valves are the usual cause. If the rest of the house has normal pressure and hot water, the problem is likely in the shower itself.
Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
If it hums and stops, isolate power before anything else. Unplug it only if the plug is dry and easy to reach, or turn off the breaker from a dry spot. The wall switch alone does not count. Never put your hand inside, and follow the unit's manual. With power off, many units have a reset button underneath and an Allen wrench socket at the bottom center for freeing jams. A leak from the unit's body usually means replacement. A leak at the pipe connections can often be repaired. See garbage disposal repair.
Fixture Installation
Installing new or replacement faucets, sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers, including finish work once a remodel rough-in is ready. We match shutoffs, drains, and supply lines to the new piece. Learn about new fixture installation.
Ice Maker Line Installation
A dedicated water supply for a refrigerator ice maker, with its own shutoff and every connection checked for leaks before we leave.
Gas Line Work
Gas Line Repair and Installation
If you smell gas, leave the house now. Do not flip switches or use anything that could spark. Once outside, call 911 and NW Natural. Call us for the repair after it is safe.
Most gas work is planned: a new line for a range, dryer, or outdoor grill. Gas lines need a licensed pro, the right permit, and a pressure test before anything is turned on, so this is not a DIY job. See gas line repair and installation.
Water Pressure, Treatment, and Hot Water Delivery
Water Pressure Regulator Replacement
A pressure regulator (PRV) lowers incoming street pressure. Portland Water Bureau keeps most homes between about 40 and 80 psi, and code requires a regulator when pressure is over 80. Pressure that feels too strong, banging pipes, or fixtures wearing out early can point to a failing valve. Details on water pressure regulator replacement.
Expansion Tank Installation
Depending on how the system is set up, a regulator can create a closed system where heated water has nowhere to expand, and pressure can climb after the heater runs. An expansion tank on the cold supply near the water heater gives it room.
Recirculation Pump Installation
Cuts the wait for hot water at faraway fixtures. We check whether your piping suits a dedicated return line or a demand style setup.
Water Filtration System Installation
Whole house or under sink filters chosen for what you want removed, such as sediment or taste and odor. Filtration is a different job from softening. See water filtration system installation.
Water Softener Installation and Repair
Portland's Bull Run water is naturally soft, so many homes on city water do not need a softener. Wells and the city's groundwater supply, used only as a backup, can be harder. If you have real mineral scale, like white crust on faucets or clogged showerheads, we size and install a system or repair one that stopped regenerating. Rust from old galvanized pipe is not a sign you need a softener. If you do not need one, we will tell you.
Backflow Prevention Device Installation
A backflow device keeps used or contaminated water from flowing back into your drinking water supply. We install the device. We do not do the required certified testing; Portland Water Bureau can explain testing requirements. More on backflow prevention device installation.
Slab Leaks and Leak Protection
Slab Leak Repair
Fixes a water line leaking under a concrete foundation. Warning signs include a rising water bill with no change in use, warm or damp floor spots, slowly falling pressure, or running water sounds when everything is off. Quick check: turn off all water use and watch the meter. If the dial moves, water is leaking somewhere, though not necessarily under the slab. We pinpoint it, then repair or reroute the line.
Water Leak Sensor Installation
Small devices placed where leaks start, such as under sinks, by the water heater, behind the washer, and near toilet supply valves. When they sense moisture they send a phone alert or sound an alarm. On its own, a sensor warns you. It does not shut off the water.
Emergency Shut-Off Valve Installation
A valve that stops water flow during a leak, freeze, or fixture failure. Manual valves have a handle you turn. Automatic valves close on their own, either on a signal from a compatible sensor or through their own built-in leak monitoring. Find your main shutoff now, before anything goes wrong. If it is stuck, hard to reach, or missing, it is time for an upgrade.
Cold Weather and Outdoor Plumbing
Frozen Pipe Repair
For lines that froze or burst in a cold snap. When a hard freeze is forecast, open cabinets on outside walls and let vulnerable faucets drip. If a pipe has split, shut off the water if you can do it safely and call us. See frozen pipe repair.
Pipe Insulation
Wrapping exposed supply lines in crawlspaces, garages, and outside walls to help them ride out short cold snaps. This is prevention, not a fix for a burst pipe.
Hose Bib Replacement
Replacing outdoor faucets that drip or will not shut off, or upgrading to frost resistant models. Swapping a failing bib before winter beats repairing a freeze break inside the wall.
Rainwater Tank Installation
Collects roof runoff for outdoor use like garden watering, not for drinking. We size the tank to your roof, yard, and plans, and we plan where the overflow goes when the tank is full. Before you call, note where water pools in your yard after a heavy rain.
Maintenance and Specialty Plumbing
Plumbing Maintenance
Scheduled checkups: testing shutoffs and fixtures and finding slow leaks before they turn into emergencies. Read about routine plumbing maintenance.
Commercial Plumbing Services
For shops, restaurants, offices, and multi-unit buildings that must meet commercial code and cannot afford a long shutdown. We plan the work around your hours and what needs to stay open.
ADU Plumbing
Supply, drain, and fixture work for accessory dwelling units, from rough-in to finish, following your permit and building layout.
Mobile Home Plumbing
Manufactured and mobile homes are plumbed differently from site-built houses. Supply lines often run under the floor inside the belly wrap, reaching them usually means removing skirting, the water and sewer hookups are their own setup, and parts do not always match. If you live in a park, find out whether a line belongs to you or the park before work starts.
