When a plumbing emergency strikes—whether it’s a burst pipe, flooded basement, overflowing toilet, sewer backup, or major water leak—you need a trusted Portland plumbing company with responsive same-day service. Cornel’s is your local emergency plumber, always ready to handle urgent issues and minimize damage to your home.

Plumbing Repairs and Emergencies We Handle

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

    Excellent service!!!! 5 stars! Juan got rid of are old hot water heater (2008) and replaced it with a new high efficiency one. Replaced all the corroded … view more plumbing and old ball valves, as well. Friendly, fast and efficient just like our new water heater. Highly recommend this team at Cornell’s.

    Our hot water heater broke suddenly last night. Jake at Cornel came quickly, fixed the issue, showed us how to troubleshoot for next time, and helped us … view more figure out how to save money. He was very friendly and explained what he was doing in an easy to understand way. After running some quick numbers, we ended up getting the 1 year membership so it will be easier and more cost effective to schedule follow up maintenance for our HVAC as well, since that hasn't been looked at in almost 10 years & we've been meaning to do that anyways. We used Cornel a couple times before & had a good experience again today!

    Cornell Plumbing and Heating ANSWERED THE CALL! Our furnace crapped out in the winter, it was 20+ years old so we knew it was coming but put it off until … view more it died. We were freezing for less than a day before Cornell quickly responded to our request for an inspection to see if the furnace was fixable. The inspector was very thorough and helped us understand all of the issues with our dead furnace and quickly got us connected to Randy who came over in a matter of minutes to walk through the options. Randy was very very knowledgeable and so friendly. I never felt pressured when talking to him, he was very practical and honest about what would be the best bang for our buck, while ensuring we had a solid heater for decades to come. We were on the fence about installing central AC (our house was built in 1890) but the summers in Portland have gotten so tumultuous that every year for the past four years, we've shopped around for AC quotes but just couldn't afford to commit. Randy built a great package for us that added AC to our furnace for a price that was very reasonable, so, we did it! We have a two year old and a baby on the way and we are very very thankful to know we have cool summers ahead of us and warm winters to enjoy in the comfort of our home. It's been night and day with the new furnace compared to what we were working with before. I never knew how warm our home COULD have been, until we got our new furnace installed. Oddly enough, our neighbors furnace also died like a week later and he saw we had Cornell over and asked about our experience. We were very quick to highly recommend Cornell, and my neighbor also got a new furnace from them! Needless to say, it was a smooth, quick and satisfying experience, you know, as satisfying as it can be to have to suddenly invest in heating and cooling, which can be many tens of thousands of dollars... but with the right folks, and the right system, the experience can be a sort of blessing in disguise - which it was for us!
