Plumbing Repairs and Emergencies We Handle
Frozen Or Burst Pipes
Sudden pipe bursts can flood your home, causing extensive water damage to floors, walls, and belongings. Our emergency plumbers respond quickly to stop the leak, repair the damage, and help prevent future issues.
During cold Portland winters, frozen pipes can burst and cause significant water damage as they thaw. We specialize in thawing and repairing frozen pipes to keep your plumbing safe year-round. If you need pipe repair, it is best to call a plumber as soon as possible!
Main Water Line Leaks
Water pooling in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, or water coming from the ceiling can signal a major leak in your main supply line. Once we perform thorough leak detection, our plumbers will repair main water line leaks fast to protect your property.
Sewer Backups
Multiple drains backing up, foul odors, or sewage coming up through toilets and tubs are signs of a sewer line emergency. We provide urgent sewer repair to clear blockages and restore safe, sanitary conditions in your home.
Major Leaks
Whether it’s water pouring from the ceiling, behind walls, or under sinks, major leaks can quickly lead to mold growth and structural damage. Our plumbers are experts in leak detection, and will identify the source and fix it before it causes further harm.
Water Heater Failures
No hot water, strange noises, or a leaking water heater tank can leave you without essential hot water and may cause flooding. We offer emergency water heater repairs and replacements to restore your comfort.
Overflowing Toilets or Drains
Overflowing toilets or drains can spread contaminated water throughout your home. Our emergency plumbers act fast to clear drain blockages, stop the overflow, and sanitize affected areas.
Flooded Basements or Crawl Spaces
Heavy rain, sump pump failures, or broken pipes can quickly lead to a flooded basement or crawl space, putting your home and valuables at risk. We provide rapid water removal and pipe repairs in those hard-to-reach places.
Unexplained Water or Dampness
Any unexpected water stains, puddles, or persistent dampness should be investigated right away to prevent further damage. Our experts will find the source of the water leak and provide a lasting solution.
