Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service

Its no accident that Jorge gets the outstanding reviews here   I could not be happier with his knowledge and his customer service- He is relaxed-knowledgeable. and definitely is a craftsman- He encourages you  to watch while he works-His prices were  fair-  I will use him in the future whenever I need a plumber- Thank you so much -

Big water leak near meter.  Hard to get someone out during snow/after Christmas.  Another plumber kept cancelling on me and later I noticed they had bad reviews.  I already had Jorge's number from a friend that used him a while back.  Should have called him first.  He showed up.  Professional.  Worked hard on a difficult job.  Fixed the leak.  Also fixed one of my toilets.  I also had him replace the pressure release valve with a new one and move it from the street to the crawl space.  All was done so professionally and he explained things as he went along.  He followed up the next day as well.  I sure appreciate it.  Thanks!

I was away on a business trip and our hot water heater stopped working. It was February and still pretty cold out. My wife was able to identify the issue, went and got the part needed but ran into a couple issues due to other parts that had deteriorated. She actually did a great job replacing the part but stopped when she ran into a few curve balls.

By the time I got home and was able to get on the phone it was 2 pm. on a Friday. I called my usual plumber and they couldn't get out for a week and a half!

I tried several other local plumbers and all were the same, the earliest they could come was Monday. At this point my family had not had hot water for 3 days and I wasn't going to make them wait until Monday. Because the parts concerned had to do with the natural gas connections I wanted to make sure that everything was safe as well.

I called and left a message for Plumbing Craftsman thinking that it would absolutely go unanswered and continued down the list of NO responses to my request for help.

Jorge called back a half hour later, listened to the issue. When I say listened, I mean he was the only one who seemed to hear the part about not having had hot water for 3 days part. He was there an hour later.

He took the time to explain everything, check the connections, parts, was able to track down the part I needed from a supplier he knew, when G.E. told me I had to replace the whole panel because they didn't sell the part I needed.

He knows his business, he educated me as he worked, pointed out things to watch for, explained how the insides worked and why parts did or didn't need replaced etc. He was a pleasure to meet.

He put everything back together, he tested it and it worked fine. He was able to safely and properly repair the faulty parts and even obtained a replacement part at no cost when the manufacturer blew me off.

He even told us what additional part to buy and replace if this did not fix the issue permanently. He also told us how to install it so we wouldn't have to spend more then we needed.

When he gave me the bill I was so impressed by his service and the small size of my bill that I had to add more out of appreciation.

A few hours later after my family had all had nice hot showers and baths, I got a call from Jorge. He was just calling to make sure that everything was still running well and we had hot water.

I found my new Plumber.

George was incredibly responsive to a last minute phone call and request for a shower installation that was required at my parents home. He fit us in last minute two days before Christmas and even came earlier than expected and called to let us know he was on his way. He was very respectful of the home, offered to remove his shoes and was in and out very efficiently with quality work.  He's a super nice guy and cares a lot about customer service. I'd highly recommend him if you need a plumber to do some work on your home.

A very nice job on replacing one toilet and fixing the other    Very quick and very appreciated.  Would definitely use again

I was so pleased with the service in the way that my job was handled.  I highly recommend them and I'm really glad I found them and will have them do all my plumbing whatever it is from now on.  I think it's a good thing to have a good plumber in the back of your pocket and this guy is it! Thanks so much for going the extra mile and doing my job RIGHT!

Jorge responded to my phone call within a couple hours and was able to come by the same day to fix my leaking toilet! He's incredibly knowledgeable and priced fairly. I'm so grateful for the work he did! I'll definitely be calling him again. Thank you, Jorge!!!

Jorge was awesome! We were in a tight time crunch; were moving in to our new house the next weekend. He was able to get in there, change out my broken water heater with a new one and 3 brand new toilets. Everything has been working great. He also is very educational. He spent time to go over what he installed, key things to watch for. He really cares about his service and the customers he serves. A week after we moved in, our sink disposal broke so we called Jorge again. He came out within a week due to his busy schedule and changed it out so quickly. His pricing is great too. I highly recommend Jorge!

A few weeks ago the drain under the laundry sink started leaking. I was unsuccessful at scheduling a visit from another plumber we've used in the past.  So I called Plumbing Craftsman and drain service based on the reviews here. Jorge was able to come out the very next day to fix the drain and to install a shower head (both small jobs). He was very professional, courteous, and quick with the repairs. The price was also very reasonable.  I highly recommend him and this company.

What can I say about Jorge...he knows what he's doing!
After having hours of complications trying to take off my water filtration filter - I had to go to yelp to ask for the best service for plumbing.

After reading about Jorge and his services - it was a no brainer for me to call and email.

Jorge called me the next day and was in my neighborhood within 15mins, to help me with my situation.

Jorge was polite,  courteous and very knowledgeable.  His prices are very reasonable vs other plumbers I've used in the past.

Jorge now has my business from here on out and is my go to guy within my plumbing needs.

If you need any expertise or fixing within plumbing needs - please give Jorge a call!!

Forever grateful

John Paik

Absolutely amazing service! Jorge came out on a Sunday to help us figure out why our hot water heater wasn't working. He noticed it was still under warranty and told us the best way to save money is
to go through the company that first installed it, on top of it all he didn't charge a dime! We will definitely be using him in the future, thanks Jorge!

So....in the middle of some home remodel work during the quarantine for COVID-19 we discover a rusty, falling apart pipe in our bathroom.  Jorge had worked at my home for another issue and thank goodness I still had his card.  We made a quick call (after hours) to Jorge about our issue and he was at our home within a couple of hours.  Jorge was able to easily fix our pipe issue as well as some drain work, regular rate charged, no emergency charges.  Thank you Jorge, we would have been without water during this time when we are supposed to be washing hands often and cleaning surfaces regularly.  Jorge is fast, to the point, and gets done what you need to get done.

Jorge is amazing!  This is the second time I've a plumbing emergency and have called Jorge at Plumbing Craftsman.  The first time was a broken pipe in the upstairs bathroom on Friday late afternoon a few months ago.  This left me was without water while I was babysitting my 2 young grandkids.  I didn't expect to find anyone to fix it until the next week but Jorge called me right back and was able to come by and fix it immediately.  This past weekend, we discovered that a pipe had been damaged during some work that was being done on the house.  I left Jorge a message on Sunday and he was at my house at 8am Monday morning.  Plumbing Craftsman should be your first and only call for plumbing 503-810-3250.   His prices are excellent as well

Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service is responsive, trustworthy and dependable. Jorge has always responded to our plumbing needs quickly and with expertise. He came and serviced our rental home on multiple occasions and we were very pleased with how he is both professional and personal.
Recently, we began renovating a commercial space. I could not get a plumber to return my phone call and then I remembered Jorge. I left him a message and he called me back on his day off. He could have provided the service we needed, but he was honest and said that it would be cheaper to hire a plumber closer to our space. Who doesn't appreciate that?!
He is top-notch and I would recommend him for any of your plumbing needs!

After reading the reviews I decided to give Jorge a call to work on a few different plumbing issues I was having.  I can only say all of the reviews are true.  He arrived on time, was happy to explain what he was doing even letting me know what I could do in the future myself to save me money.  From here on out, he will be the first plumber I call.  Great service!

I found Jorge through our neighborhood discussion board. Based on the great reviews he received, we gave it a shot. Jorge arrived on time, with a well-stocked truck, worked efficiently and fixed our shower head and bathtub drain. We were so pleased that we had him come back to install our water filter and a new waterline for a fridge. He even came to our rescue when the installers refused to hookup our fridge. He even made sure to educate us on how the lines worked and where the shut off valves were. He is responsive to both text and cell phone. He answered all of our questions. In addition, as a woman, I found Jorge respectful and would have no concern working with him alone at the house. And his rates are more reasonable than many places I called before I found him.

We called plumbing craftsman to check the leak in our faucet. Jorge was very prompt, professional but what we liked most about his work is how he educated you and lets you see his work. He showed us why our faucet is leaking and how things work. We didn't have to change the faucet fortunately and only need to replace the cartridge which he did. He is straight to the point, practical and his advise are on point. We highly recommend Plumbing Craftsman for an excellent service provided. Now that's a plumber you can really trust.

Jorge did not do our job due to our emergency situation.  But, he was extremely helpful in educating us our problem and also referred us to another company which did a fantastic job. Thank you Jorge!

Don't go anywhere else for water heater service.  Extremely knowledgeable, fair price.  Very professional and timely.  Good communication.  Thank you Plumbing Craftsman!

I have to say I was hesitant to believe so many people are so pleased with this guy but I decided to take a chance.  Like all the others I am very happy I did!  Jorge did a great job for me. I had some pipes that needed to be put into a wall (after removing a sink) and a leaky toilet.  He was quick and professional. He explained what he did and what I should look for in the future that would indicate a problem. I will absolutely call him with any plumbing issues in the future.  It's great, and somewhat rare, to find someone you feel so confident in.  You'll be glad you called Jorge!

George did an awesome job on correcting out Hot water cylinder problems he was right on time at our house ,his price was well below  other quotes we had from the other companies . I would defiantly use him again for any of our plumbing problems in the future ! For an honest straight up Plumber this is your guy !

I walked out the other day to our water heater dumping water out to a partially flooded garage. After calling a few names on the top of the Yelp list, nobody was able to come out for at least a week. Thankfully I was referred to Plumbing Craftsman. Jorge was not only able to come out the next morning, but was very communicative about the process for replacing our water heater.

He showed up on time, was able to get everything changed out within a couple of hours, and did a great job for a fair price. I would definitely recommend Plumbing Craftsman and they will be the first on our list the next time we are in need.

I finally know A GUY

You know, as in hey, I know a guy who...

I hired PC to come out and totally rework my
downstair's bathroom toilet. Jorge, was on time
and ready to get right to work. He had to put
in a new flange, new anchors, wax ring,
flood master,  fill valve and so much more. He
leveled it perfectly. It's built to last

Jorge, is super professional and transparent as
far as his work, he liked it when I was kinda looking
over his shoulder. He actually, I think, encourages
it, he is very comfortable explaining everything he
does and why he does it. He also tries to teach you
how to troubleshoot minor problems too. I really
like Jorge's style and work ethic.

I would highly recommend him, he will do a great job
at a fair price and on time. Also, he cleans up the area
very well. Most plummers leave your house a total mess.

Thank you Jorge !

A pretty big water leak happened in my home that caused some water damage to the ceiling of my home. Jorge unfortunately was not able to assist directly with the repair as he was inundated with another job at the time. Even though he was and will always be my first point of contact. Jorge still helped orchestrate a repair for me calling around to his competitors to get someone out to my home right away on a weekend. He also gave me a great contact to repair the Sheetrock to my ceiling in my house. I really can't say enough about Jorge's commitment to his customers. Not only did he help me get my water leak repaired, he had his competitor do it for him just so it would get handled. If that isn't great customer service I don't know what is?! Jorge cares and is honest and not selfish to save all the work for himself. If he can't do it, he will find someone to help you. I can't say enough about how much I trust and rely on Jorge

I have had Jorge out to my home twice.  Two bathroom sinks that shared a drainpipe were both clogged.  Plus, a shower was slow-draining.  He snaked  the pipes and all were working within an hour.  Previously, he had installed a new toilet.  I got his name from my daughter, who has had Jorge do several plumbing jobs in her home.  He is the BEST!  Look no further. . . Call Jorge!

George is a great plumber. His work is good, fast and fair price. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule. I give him 5 stars.

Built a home 10 years ago and our drains and plunging fixtures finally  started to give out about a year ago.  We finally decided to contact a plumber.  When I saw the amazing Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service reviews, it was a no brainer to give them a call.  

Jorge left our home a couple hours ago.  We love the guy!  He's extremely knowledgeable, has a great work ethic and simply gets the job perfectly done!  George is also a super nice guy!  We give his work and his character both an A+.  He gets our highest recommendation.

Like all the other reviews say, we found 'our plumber'.  We had a leaky spigot type faucet in the front yard - leaking under the bark dust.  Not only did Jorge find and fix the old, broken piping, but he secured the spigot to the house and insulated the pipe.  He worked with us through out the process to make sure we became knowledgeable about what he was fixing, and were in agreement with the slightly revised spigot placement and attachment to the house for support.  We will call him again and he was definitely worth the cost.

I used this plumber, his name is Jorge, for the first time to fix the water leaks inside the house. He was recommended to me by word of mouth from an appliance repair guy. His rate is reasonable and he is opened to beat other plumber rates to earn your business. He looks very experienced and finished the job for me with great satisfaction.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews or fill out satisfaction surveys, but because our experience was so impressive, I think it important to let others know about it.  We had a backup in our basement shower and sink drains on a Saturday morning.  I read reviews for this business and left a phone message expecting to have to wait until the business week at the very least.  But no! Jorge called within 15 minutes!  He said he was booked for two weeks, but to go ahead and book while we looked for someone else in the meantime.  All this is expected, since we live in a area where there is a lot of new homes going up.  Tradesmen are very hard to book for small jobs like ours.  However, Jorge called back within the hour, asked more about the problem, and offered to come out the very next day.  He came promptly as scheduled, and fixed everything that very same visit.  He also gave a comprehensive analysis of the whole situation along with expert advice on what to do in the future.  Nowadays, it is so rare to find a certified tradesman that offers such expert service to homeowners.  We would recommend this business to anyone and if needed in the future, will call Jorge right away!

George came out on a Sunday to fix my garbage disposal after two weeks of trying to get other companies to come. He replaced it quickly and showed me how to maintain it and clear potential future jams. Very professional and reasonably priced!

Picked this company based off of the reviews on yelp. Jorge was great!  Had a blocked shower drain, called on a Saturday- at my house in under 2 hours from my call.  Issue fixed quickly and at a much better price than I expected.  Will definitely call Jorge again if needed!

The plumbing under my sink had come loose at the joints and was leaking every time I ran the disposal or the dishwasher. I called George based on reviews alone (I was going to call another company which mails magnets with a $25-off offer, but their Yelp and Google reviews quickly chased me away). Plumbing Craftsman was the highest rated for my area and based on the glowing reviews, I gave George a call. He was able to come not just on the same day, but even earlier than the original window he quoted. He was fast, explained everything he was doing, and had my kitchen plumbing up and running in no time. His fee was reasonable and he didn't try to upsell me on anything. He advised that my disposal might be on the way out and made sure I knew that he wasn't trying to pressure me into fixing it that day, just wanted me to expect that I might be having to replace it sooner rather than later. When that happens, I'm just going to call George.

Very knowledgeable and provided great options for avoiding a water heater replacement.

Our house had water pressure problems ever since we moved in 2 years ago. I finally decided to contact a plumber. Jorge called and told me to try a few things first to see if they would fix the issue. Everything worked!!! Our water pressure is amazing now! Jorge saved us a ton of money! Will be using him in the future.

We had a major drain clog in both our bathrooms. I was a bit overwhelmed with finding a plumber to help, but I am so glad we found Jorge! He came over right away and fixed the problem very quickly and efficiently. He is very knowledgeable and help explain and show me what the problems were. He was up front about all the costs and it was very fair and reasonable. He was very personable and honest. We will be using him again if we need any more plumbing help! Thank You!

Jorge was great.  He came out within days after I emailed (non-urgent issues), and did all the work in under 3 hours.  We had a severely clogged shower drain.  I had already gotten a rat sized chunk of hair out, but way further down the pipe was a chunk that was knotted and hard as a rock.  He worked at it until he got it out and then checked twice to make sure everything was running smoothly and there weren't any other obstructions.  

He also snaked our basement sink and got a large sized chunk of hair out, before replacing the p-trap and other pieces that were rotted.  We discovered that a different piece was still leaking, but it usually comes free with a new faucet, and our faucet needed to be replaced soon, so I asked if he would stop there and I'd buy a new faucet first (we want to match the ones we have elsewhere in the house) and then have him finish the work.  He had a way to stop the leak to give us more time before we had to replace the sink, but I wanted to just do the replacement.  He was really flexible about it!

Then we had two cut off valves that were rusted and leaking in a half bath.  Jorge took one off and saw that the nipple was completely corroded and needed to be replaced.  But, before he did the work, he called me over and showed me the problem, and also explained several possible problems once he removed the nipple that could cause a more expensive repair.  I really appreciated this - I had the option to say, no let's wait or I understand the risks and go ahead.  As it turned out, he was able to get the nipple out without trouble and we luckily had copper behind that galvanized nipple so once he replaced it with stainless steel, we shouldn't have the same problem again, and we didn't need to open up the wall to remove more galvanized pipe.

Finally (yes, he did all of this in that short time frame), I asked him about our kitchen sink which weirdly shuts off for no reason when the water filter isn't switched on.  He figured out that the filter was the problem, but when he removed it and turned on the water, he said there was way too much pressure coming out of the faucet.  We went out and he showed me our house PSI was WAY above the standard 80, and so we looked at the Pressure Release Valve and sure enough, it was leaking and clearly rusting out and needed to be replaced.  If we hadn't realized this, we potentially would have burst pipes, and for sure it was wearing out all of our plumbing faster, which is probably why we have so many fixes needed all at once.

I will be having Jorge come back out to fix our PRV and any other issues big or small that arise.  His price was incredibly fair - and he doesn't charge a per visit, or truck fee, like some places.  Just a minimum of an hour's work and then in 15 minute increments after that, plus parts.  He doesn't waste time either - he's fast and very thorough.

I recommend him highly.  One of the best experiences I have had with a contractor, ever.  And we've worked with some excellent plumbers, electricians, etc. over the years.

I called PCDS for repair of a water leak on my main water valve, after another large plumbing company had screwed everything up.  PCDS was quick to dispatch someone.  They were able to repair the problems that the other guy couldn't and also fixed the screw ups that the other guy caused.  In the end, my problems were resolved at a fair price.

I would definitely use PCDS again.

Highly recommended. Jorge is professional, hard working, and courteous. Three weeks ago, our kitchen sink clogged, and soon after we noticed water seeping out onto our garage floor. Jorge inspected the issue and walked us through his steps, until we discovered that the kitchen drain pipe was completely corroded (cast iron) and had been clogged for some time. Jorge went right to work, and after a couple appointments had replaced our pipe with plastic to avoid future corrosion and even improved the grade to aid drainage. He walked us through each step, and showed my husband the corroded pipe after taking it out (it was nasty). His enthusiasm for his work is evident, and he provided a detailed breakdown of his services after each day's work. Undertaking big jobs with new contractors can easily be a nerve wracking occasion for homeowners, yet Jorge was affordable and professional.

Jorge,

Came to my house very quickly.  He fixed my clog and piping.  He truly shows his care and experience while working.  I highly recommend him to everyone.  His pricing is fair.  The work that he did for me was top notch.  I can't recommend him enough.  He is that good.  He will be getting all my future business that I need in the future.

Super plumber!  Highly recommend.  Came out free of charge to diagnose our problem.  A difficult dig but George rose to the challenge.  Solved our perplexing problem.  He's just a fair & honest man. Will definitely use again.

I called George to see if he could assist me with putting in my garbage disposal. I could not get the snap ring in for the life of me. For those who know, this is probably the hardest part of the installation. George came over within the same hour I called him. Incredible. He also put the snap ring on with ONE hand. Charged a more then fair rate and was just a really nice guy. I definitely recommend plumbing craftsman.

We've had Jorge complete plumbing work for us in the past, and I'll always call him first.  He is very responsive and does great work.  Most recently, I called him to come look at a dripping back flow assembly in my home (that I know nothing about and didn't want to touch)!  He asked me a couple of questions and gave me a quick tip over the phone for an easy fix.  Thanks for saving me a service visit, Jorge!

We had a leak in the the water main pipe and was without water.  Plumbing Craftsman came out the same day to assess the work and would have completed the work if he had the parts, but he came back the next day and fixed the leak as expected.  We had a great experience with Jorge, the owner, and would highly recommend them.

I have 2 little babies, so when I realized at 6 am that I didn't have hot water, I was *desperate.* After trying to fix the water heater myself, and failing, I checked out Yelp and left messages for the top 3 rated plumbers in my area. Only 1 company could guarantee to fit me in same day, but I wasn't 100% sure about them because they felt pushy right off the bat. Thankfully, Jorge called me, and although he couldn't guarantee to get to me same day, he asked me to send him a photo of my water heater to see if he could offer some help.

Jorge didn't just help - he saved my day. Before even securing the job, he took the time to contact the water heater manufacturer to research the potential problem and to confirm what part would need replacing. In doing so, he literally saved me THOUSANDS. The other company wanted to charge me $2000, and Jorge fixed the problem for just $135. He not only squeezed me in between appointments so that my water heater could be fixed same day, he called me in advance to let me know he was coming so I could leave work and meet him, instead of giving me a 2-3 hour window where I'd have to sit at home and wait.

Now my babies are clean after having warm baths, and I'm able to relax. This is one of the best customer experiences I've ever had.

I'd also like to add that I don't know Jorge personally. I just thank all the previous Yelpers who reviewed him so that I could find him!

Had a bathtub that wasn't draining for the last five days. Jorge was prompt in returning my email and was able to come out on a Saturday! Jorge was friendly, professional and fixed my problem in 30 mins.

Highly recommend using him for future jobs.

Jorge just installed a new water heater for us in beaverton . he was very honest and did a perfect job .this is a rental property and we live out of the area, so I relied on yelpers advice  for a great plumber and could not be happier . Jorge did a great job for almost half the price of other plumbers .quick service ,no mess and no up charges !!!  A+++

I live in Hillsboro and needed a plumber.  On a recommendation, I called Jorge with Plumbing Craftsman 503-810-3250. He assured me of what it will cost with no hidden charges.  We scheduled a time.  He called 30 minutes prior to arriving.   Looked at my leaky pipes and told me how he would fix them without charging me for things I didn't need.  He's a great communicator, friendly and fair.

Satisfied customer, here!  I called 5 different highly-rated plumbers about a disposal leak, (all very nice) but Jorge figured out how to fit me into his same-day schedule.  He also saved me about $300. I was ready to buy a new disposal but fixed the old one in about an hour.  On top of everything, he's an excellent communicator, giving me updates on his arrival time and explaining the fix very clearly.  Plumbing Craftsman is now the first company I'll call for plumbing issues.

George was very helpful when it came to replacing my garbage disposal on short notice. He described the units he had available and showed up promptly the next morning to install the one I chose. His prices are fair and I will call him again for future plumbing needs.

I called a few plumbers to help with a garbage disposal hook up that needed a new drain configured, pretty simple job but everyone but George would not quote a hourly rate or price estimate without seeing the job first.  George was able to come that same day for me even thought he had a family commitment that he had to get to at a certain time.  He showed up on time and was masked up, kind, informative, gave advice on what to do next time and charged exactly what he said he was ( BTW ) much less than Beaverton Plumbing or anyone else I called.  He is coming this week to hook up dishwasher.  Only person I will use from now on.

George the owner came out to address multiple plumbing issues we had in our house. He is truly a plumbing wizard. He assessed the problem quickly and offer economical solutions. His price is competitive. More importantly he was very professional yet friendly and a good guy. He will be my go-to plumbing guy going forward. Thanks for your quick and thorough service!

Jorge Lopez at Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service will be our plumber for life! My husband was out of town and literally as I was walking out the door at 6:45am our water heater started leaking. I am a teacher so being late to work is not an option. I shut off the water and had to walk out the door. I was in a panic and started calling every plumber in the area... they either didn't answer or if they did they said it would be at least 4 or 5 days before they could even come to my house. I was super stressed out and imaging the worst while I started my first class period. And then Jorge called.... Not only did he say he would go straight to my house that very moment but he said he would come back that evening and install a new water heater. So I was able to get through my day of teaching knowing that my house was safe and that evening true to his word he came over after normal business hours and installed a new water heater for us. He was understanding, professional, and made it such an easy experience. I had a lot of questions as I am a new home owner and he kindly went through and answered all of them. By the time he left it was way past dinner and he must have been exhausted and starving. But he never let it show. I will always go to Jorge for plumbing and I suggest you do too. He is the best!

I called Jorge on a Saturday, and he was the only plumber to answer the phone! He was out of town but was very willing to share his insight and knowledge to help! He has the heart of teacher. A week later, I had an issue with my water heater, and he was prompt, courteous, and efficient. He has a high level of attention to detail, and went above and beyond to help me out. Thanks again, Jorge!

Jorge did some water hook-ups for my remodelled bathroom, and did a good job.  He communicated with me proactively, and is a courteous and pleasant guy.  I'll be calling Jorge again to complete the job after the wallboard and tile are done.

We couldn't be happier with the service from Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service.  Jorge came out to replace two toilets in our house, and he worked with us through the whole process to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted.

In addition to a great price on the toilets and service, Jorge was prompt, courteous, honest, and professional.  He arrived on time and performed the work quickly, but also made time to answer a few of our questions, and he even fixed our faucet at no extra charge!

I will happily keep working with Jorge for any plumbing work in the future, and we would highly recommend Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service to anyone looking to make repairs or updates to their plumbing fixtures.

George was a star from beginning to end.  I explained my low water pressure issue to him and he proceeded to try and instruct me on how to fix it myself.  Not being handy with pipes and stuff - I pressed him to do it for me. George unclogged the pipes, replaced a bad valve and then diligently tried to unclog my faucet,  Unfortunately my kitchen faucet was not repairable.  George replaced the new faucet and sprayer assembly and soap dispenser.  Before leaving George adjusted the valves in one bathroom.

Found that my water heater had failed over the weekend and George came highly recommended. Well I know why now, he pushed other appointments aside and came out the following day to replace my water heater. George literally saved the day and did not gouge me either for it. I would not hesitate to call George again for my future plumbing needs!

Jorge (George) came out on his day off to snake my bathroom drain and bath tub. He was punctual, called ahead of time and was very nice. I definitely recommend giving him a call!

This review is long overdue. Jorge came over my house on short notice and repaired my faucet. He also took a quick look at my sink and recommended caulking advice.  He's very communicative, kind, and took time to educate you. His cost is lowest I've compared to others and he did a great job! Please don't retire soon, we need you Jorge!

I first found Jorge through Nextdoor, then headed here to Yelp to read his reviews. I texted Jorge earlier this morning to make an appointment, assuming I'd be booking a few weeks out. He texted back almost immediately that he was with a customer and asked if he could call me back later. He called a few hours later and said he could be at our house in 45 minutes. He arrived on time, had all the parts he needed in his truck (and there were multiple), and he fixed problems with 2 different toilets in a very short amount of time. He was pleasant, he thoroughly explained everything he was doing, and his rates were very reasonable.  I definitely recommend Jorge.

Had issues with a broken toilet wasn't sure what was wrong with it.  Thought it might be the wax that needed to be replaced. Called around and got the run around or no answer. Then I found Plumbing Craftsman.  I like they had 5 starts with 75+ reviews.  All stating that this plumber was reasonable in cost and care about what he was doing.  They were not wrong.  I call Jorge and he pick up, was up front about his costs, and was able schedule with me on the day I needed. He came out on time, friendly, professional , and great communication, and  also educated me on the issue.  The leak was not the waxes but lose bolts and broken parts inside the toilet.  He did not try to sell me anything I didn't need.  He fixed the issue quickly and had parts on hand. Pricing was reasonable.  If you need plumbing without the BS call this guy, you be glad you did.

This is the guy who shows up.  We had a bad leak on the side of the house.  Water was drowning my plants. It was a plumbing emergency.   I called the 8 plumbers listed above Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service on a Thursday.  None were available until the following Tuesday, 5 DAYS LATER!  I called number number 9, Plumbing Craftsman and Drain Service.  Jorge, the owner, was working on the other side of town and was booked solid until after 5pm but he called back and he showed up.  He worked quickly and replaced our old sill cock with a  new 3/4 flanged sill cock.  He saved our garden and our water bill.  God Bless the guy who shows up!  He should be number 1 on the list of people to call.

Had an issue with my water heater.  Called George late in the day and he replaced it that evening.  Fantastic service!

We had an excellent experience with Jorge! He was courteous and considerate on the phone while making the appointment to come out and fix our leaking toilet. We have been dealing with the issue for about a year and didn't mind waiting a week or two and Jorge sounded completely apologetic about pushing us out two weeks in order to comply with our work schedules. He arrived at our house right when he said he would and was knowledgable and forthcoming with his assessment of the issue. His prices are reasonable and the problem has not returned since he came. We would use again!

George (or Jorge, he goes by either) was professional in every sense. The scheduling was done well, he showed up promptly, he was polite and friendly.  His rate was VERY reasonable.  I had 2 bathtubs and 3 sinks snaked for only $145.  Another plumber quoted me at $199 for EACH item that needed snaking.  Jorge was clean and got the job done swiftly.  I appreciated his integrity of work and fair pricing.

I called up Jorge when we had two sinks in our house go down. One was clogged deep inside and the other one was leaking. He was in and out, with both sinks fixed and everything left clean. I usually only deal with people with references from friends but I was in a jam . All of the five star ratings made me take the chance, and I'm glad I did. Jorge is well worth it.  He's even coming out next week for other projects

Excellent services! I was at my wits end thinking that the broken pipe was going to ruin Easter Dinner, that it would cost a fortune, and take forever to complete the repair. I'm happy to say that the price was very reasonable with all things considered. I appreciate the minor plumbing education that we received and the very timely manner in which the company attended to our needs. Easter dinner was saved and I am so very happy with the work performed. They were very dog friendly, another part that is very important to me when having services performed here. They took great care to keep the mess down and clean up after themselves very well. If I have a plumbing issue in the future, I won't hesitate to contact them.

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable and clean.  George not only fixed the clog and gave some pointers, but he gave some great suggestions about our plans to replace the water heater.

Jorge was one of three quotes we got to re-route a pipe to our backyard under the foundation that had begun to leak. All other quotes wanted to tear apart the walls and ceiling for the re-route. Jorge was the only one with the innovative idea to try a method of directional drilling under the foundation, with minimal disruption to a single wall. His option worked great, he cleaned up everything, and we now have working water in our backyard without a bunch of torn up walls!

Jorge was fantastic! He was able to come out right away to unclog a sink, a tub, and a shower. He got to work right away and it was great to hear his explanations so I could learn more about it too. Great attitude and easy to talk to. Cleaned up afterwards. Reasonably priced as well. I will not hesitate to reach out to him again for any additional needs!

Jorge came out recently and replaced my water heater, Jorge did an amazing job. Really took his time with the issue and worked through any problem that arose. He was really knowledgable and helpful in explaining the issue. Really happy to have found Jorge and to have a permitted new water heater! Will use him again, amazing. So much better than a lot of other plumbers in the area!

Jorge from Plumbing Craftsman was amazing! He was quick to respond and professional. He even saved me money, compared to quotes from other plumbers.

PWD notified us of a leak near the water meter. I called few plumbers; most quoted a exhorbitant estimate, some mentioned a necessity of leak detection service before a plumber which would have costed me addtional $300. Then Jorge came to rescue!

Jorge was confident about such leaks. His experience and confidence worked out well! He finished the job in 2.5 hours, and cleaned up the place after the job, and educated me with tips about leaks and plubming while working.

I have found a plumber for my future needs. And I highly recommend his services.

I read all the reviews and the scheduled an appt with Jorge.  All the reviews were very accurate.  On time.  Very good communicator.  Explained everything.  Offered good suggestions.  Didn't want to do any unnecessary work.  Pricing very fair.   Already scheduled to have him do a larger repair.

Update: Jorge also figured out a serious problem in our kitchen plumbing. Whoever had installed the garbage disposal had left some loose parts in it, and the dishwasher wasn't really hooked up correctly. So glad he was able to help us out again.

Jorge came out on Halloween in the pouring rain to fix our huge sink drain emergency. Black beans and couscous were pouring out of the pipes. I'm so thankful he was there so quickly. Other companies I called were closed on Saturdays or booked until 10 pm.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jorge and Plumbing Craftsman. I was super frazzled last night from a sewer line that was backed up into both of our bathrooms. The back-up happened at about 6pm - so I figured I would need to call a big national company with 24 hr service to get it cleared. I called a company that rhymes with Smoto-Smooter that assured me they wouldn't charge extra for the late call and they would have our drain cleared by 9pm. Fast forward to 9pm - plumber from big national company quotes me nearly 4 figures (full of extra charges for the late call I was assured I wouldn't be charged...) I sent him on his way, searched on yelp and decided to call Jorge in the morning.

Fast forward again to this morning. I call Jorge in a panic - he tells me he is booked solid but wants to help me out and will fit me in. He fits me in almost immediately. Diagnoses our problem quickly and gets to work. He even performed a couple of important easy fixes beneath our toilet that would turn into a much bigger problem if left unattended (pretty sure the last person that installed our toilet was not a plumber...)

Our clog was difficult and in a hard place to clear on the main sewer line. He was in and out in 90 minutes with an AMAZING attitude and a lot of tenacity to make sure our problem was 100% solved.

His prices are extremely fair. Especially considering our 4 figure quote from 12 hours prior. He is very professional. Very communicative. Please consider calling Jorge before going to the big national companies - you won't be disappointed.

Jorge is a very nice man. After a little mix up with our first appointment Jorge really did his best to get on out here and help us out. We had a kitchen sink clog that needed a snaking and a very slow draining sink and tub in one of our upstairs bathrooms. He was quick, personable and thorough. He gave us tips and preventative ideas to avoid future issues. The best part was that he was very affordable. Honest guy not one of those over priced plumbers. We will definitely use Jorge again! Give him a try.

I am so happy to have discovered this plumber nearby. Jorge returns calls promptly, determines the source of the problem quickly, and recommends the best valued solution for your home. He doesn't waste your time or your money.

I found Jorge through Yelp reviews and sent him an email.  Within about a day he contacted me and we discussed our issue of a burst pipe that we plugged and just left alone since it was to an exterior spout for a hose.  Jorge came out to give us an estimate on a Saturday morning and said he could fix it right then and there.  His rates were very competitive and I doubt we could have gotten the work done for less.  He was professional and was done pretty quickly.  He also showed us how to winterize the exterior hose hookups so we don't have this issue again.  We will definitely use him again if we have any other issues.

Happy to add a 5 star review.   Being furloughed due to Covid-19, the last thing I needed was a leak in my main line.   Initially, I thought it was the sprinkler system but after a little home digging, I realized it was main line. I called Jorge after reading the Yelp Reviews.  He came the same day and was able to fix the leak (replace pipe) in around 3 hours.  Wow.  
Price very reasonable as others have stated.  I will absolutely use him again for any of my plumbing needs.

Our 3 handle shower had been leaking for awhile. It was leaking cold water but we knew the hot water was not in good shape either. We called George on Friday and told him it was not an emergency. He came out on Tuesday and fixed all 3 handles in one trip. He carries lots of supplies so he didn't even have to go to Home Depot. He replaced 3 brass valve seats, 1 valve stem, and 3 valve stem washers plus cleaned out the mess left by previous plumbers. He then put goop around the newly repaired handles so water would not leak behind and into the wall. He is polite, honest,  knowledgeable, prompt and kept in touch by phone to make sure we were still OK before he got here. He was here 1 & 3/4 hours and he charged for 1 & 3/4 hours only. His rate is reasonable and with all the parts and labor the whole bill came to $273.00. We will be using him from now on. He is our new plumber!

Jorge answered the phone right away and was able to give me a quote for replacing my water heater.  Out of the 4 companies I called he gave me the lowest quote.   Jorge was able to within 2 business days to do the job.  He worked quickly and had the new water heater up and running within a couple hours. Jorge was also very honest and convinced me that I would be wasting my money to pay for any extended warranties.

Jorge came out to install our kitchen sink/faucet/garbage disposal.  He did a great job! He did the job fast and kept our kitchen clean in the process. He was friendly and reasonably priced for high quality of work. We would recommend him & happily use him again!

I noticed standing water in our crawl space and determined it was coming from a leak in the kitchen sink drain pipe. After talking to Jorge he came out and not only diagnosed the problem (a crack basically the length of the drain pipe) but also repaired it in a couple of hours. Jorge knows what he's doing and made sure to replace the cracked pipe with a new one as well as using multiple angled pieces to make sure there was no stress on the new pipe, which caused the original to crack. I highly recommend Jorge and will be having him back to fix a couple other issues at my home in the future. Jorge is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He encouraged me to watch him work and I was happy with everything he did.

Jorge is simply fantastic.  He is compassionate, honest, and genuinely wants to help his clients by providing them with the most professional service.  I left him a message regarding my loose kitchen faucet in the late morning and he responded that evening.   During the appointment, Jorge made sure that the job was 100% completed before he left.  His rates are very reasonable.   And he does not use scare tactics to make you spend more money on new products.  

Jorge is a man of integrity, which is not a given in the business that he is in.  I will definitely contact him regarding any future plumbing issues!

Jorge did a fantastic job.  We had a simple sink removal that turned into a bit more complex job than anticipated.  He honored the original quote even when offered some addition charge to cover the additional parts.  He was very professional and we are really happy with the work he did.  He even made time and came on short notice which was appreciated.  I would highly recommend him and plan on using him in the future.

Jorge is cat approved.  Ok, my doorbell rang, Jorge could come earlier then time earlier confirmed... my cats took off, but when Jorge came they both came down to greet him.  They both approved!.   Jorge found the problem within minutes.  Snaked 30-40' to unclog my sink drain.  He listened to make sure no pipes burst and checked under the house to make sure no leaks/surprises.  When I called Jorge, he answered and set a time for today!  Actually, he text and could make it earlier....so happy.  All fixed in no time and advice offered of what not to put down the drain...my bad. Well, actually first time clogged drain in 35 years in my house.  If I have anymore plumbing issues, I will call Jorge first.

Jorge picked up the phone right away. It was clear he was in the middle of another job so I tried to quickly explain our leaky kitchen drain. We scheduled an appt time between 2-4p that same day! An hour later, he called and said he could come over earlier. I was thrilled because the 2-4 time frame wasn't the best for me anyway. He arrived, assessed the situation and tried to work with the parts that were already there in order to save some money. Turns out the seal (which was the wrong size anyway) was too wet from the leak so we had to replace the whole drain. Overall, he was kind, professional and reliable. He's a one man show that I'm happy to call again the next time we need a plumber.

Fantastic. Operated by someone who you can tell takes pride in his skill set and his customer service. Very much customer-first attitude. Jorge was able to make it out the next day, even arrived early, and was able to diagnose and fix the problem in a short period of time. Very much recommended!

If you are in need of a plumber you must call Jorge - all of these stellar 5-star reviews are spot on. When I needed the piping under our sink reworked after a new sink install, on a holiday week no less, I rang 4 different plumbers - Jorge was the first.  2 other plumbers quoted me 2 weeks to get to us, a 3rd was 5 days but at significantly higher cost. I had left a voicemail for Jorge and he called me back the same day later that evening, and had an opening the very next day so I didn't hesitate to book.

His rates are very reasonable compared to any other plumber I've been in contact with, he's prompt, clean, communicative and takes time to explain the work he does, and is really a very nice guy to boot.

If you are reading my or other's review of Jorge the Plumbing Craftsman and are debating if you should give him a call - don't hesitate, make the call!  You will be very glad you did, you'll get top quality work done in good time at a fraction of what most others cost. I know Jorge will now be the 1st and only plumber we call in the future!

Jorge is the man to call. He told me I'm outside his typical service coverage (I'm in SE Portland), but he told me over the phone what I can do to probably solve my low pressure problem I'm having with my shower. He told me to make sure I call back and let him now how things went. It was so refreshing to get free advice from a contractor and I had to add my own 5 star review after finding Jorge on Yelp. Hooray for contractors like Jorge and for Yelp in helping me find him.

George is a man of integrity and honor. I called him seeking advise about my water heater. He was kind and generous with his time and knowledge. Listening to my description of the problem along with the troubleshooting already done (e.g. using a voltmeter to test the heating elements, thermostats, etc. At the end of this list I just happened to mention that the circuit breaker for the hot water heater would get warm and then trip, George stopped me right there and said call an electrician immediately! You have a problem at the panel and it could start a fire.

Well I took his advice and LO and behold George was
exactly right, the problem was a faulty breaker.

George could have led me on about this situation and charged me a service but he didn't. He did the right thing. For this reason the next time I need a plumber George will be the one I call. Go George!!!!!!!!

We recently moved into a new house and needed a new water heater. Jorge (George) was recommended to us as a plumber. He was on time, highly professional, sought to reduce our cost, was reasonably priced and carefully explained his work to us. Of note, as he was completing his work he received a call expecting him at his own home but he stayed longer at our home to make sure everything was in order before he left. He explained that he double checks all his work as he does not want to disappoint his clients. Before he left, he carefully cleaned up his work space and indicated we could call him any time if we had questions. The water heater works perfectly. George is our favorite plumber!

Jorge is friendly, professional, prompt and didnt leave til the job was completely finished. Even Cleaned up afterwards! Fixed a huge gusher of a leak under my home and replaced outside faucet. Price was great and I highly recommend him for your plumbing needs. He's definitely earned his 5  ratings.

Jorge is the man! Lightning fast arrival, confident professionalism and very fair pricing. Deserves every five-star rating on here.

If you are quickly browsing to find a plumber just stop and call Jorge. He is honest and charges a very reasonable rate (have a check handy, he doesn't accept cards). Jorge is the real deal. Support your local plumber. Jorge came quickly and fixed our issue with some major finesse and kindness. He explained everything he was doing and didn't mind that I was a curious bystander.

Jorge did a FANTASTIC job unclogging our laundry drain. He offered quite a few options to get it done, and once it was unclogged, he was very thorough and checked his work 5 times! We love working with family owned companies, and this is one we highly recommend for any plumbing job.

Water leaks are stressful, but Jorge takes away that stress. He's been my go-to plumber for many years now, over the several houses I've lived in. The last incident was probably the worst.. had a sprinkler line in the front yard burst in the middle of the night. He was very responsive, came out the next morning and saved the day. After identifying the source of the leak, he got things patched up in a few hours, and we haven't had an issue since. Highly recommended!

Jorge is knowledgable and cares about what the customer needs and solve the problems. He would tell you the facts you need to know even if that means he wouldn't make any money. I recently called him asking for draining my water heater. He patiently listened to my explanation of what I had observed and why I thought for draining the tank. He explained to me in my case draining the tank wouldn't help much. This is a quality very few people have in the modern world now because most workers just want to get paid. He is a very honest person and if you ever need help with plumbing services, he is definitely an A lister.

I was having a horrible day...Day 4 with a killer cold and woke up wanting to do ONE thing and one thing only...Get into a hot shower and steam some of the sickness out of my body. I hopped into the shower and waited for it to warm up. And it never did. My hot water heater had gone out. WOOF.

After a few hours of back-and-forth games with my home warranty company who said the fastest they could get a plumber out was three days, I got approval to call a plumber who was not in their network. I hopped onto Yelp, saw Jorge's reviews, and decided to give him a go.

Jorge was very personable over the phone and tried to get me to troubleshoot the problem myself by checking the pilot light. Sadly, I was just too sick to figure it out. Instead, I texted him the make and model of my hot water heater and he was at my house within 2 hours with the part I needed. Jorge was friendly, fixed the problem, taught me how to re-light the pilot light if it ever goes out, and called to follow-up the next day.

I have no idea how much plumbers are supposed to cost, but Jorge's price seemed totally reasonable and was within the limits of what my home warranty company would reimburse.

Jorge is the BEST!!!  He went way beyond clearing out drains for two kitchen sinks running on the same 50 year old pipe. He also took the time to show and explain what we can do on our own to avoid future problems. This has been a 20 year headache for me, not to mention all the money I've thrown down the drain with companies that rush in and fix it temporarily instead of getting to the root of the problem. Thanks so much!

Jorge is fantastic. He has performed service at my condo twice and each time he takes the time to explain things and be very helpful. I would highly recommend his plumbing service to anyone!

While we were out of town, our cat sitter found a growing leak in the basement. Jorge not only answered the phone when I called (Plumbing Craftsman was the 5th plumber I had called), he immediately offered to call our cat sitter and talk her through the issue, trying to stop the leak until he could come out. He immediately called me back and said he was on his way over to the house after assessing that the issue needed immediate attention.  He fixed the problem and charged a very reasonable and fair amount.  He also kept in constant phone contact with me.  I am very grateful for Jorge and appreciate his work ethic and attention. Thank you!!

Outstanding Service! Our toilet was releasing /refilling with water a couple of times an hour and our water bill increasing accordingly. I called several plumbing services and all were booked out 3-4 weeks. After reading Jorge's solid reviews I called him. He answered right away and was very pleasant, but he informed me he was on vacation. In frustration I kept him on the phone explaining our problem and to my surprise Jorge said, Ok, send me a photo of the inside of the toilet bowl and I'll take a look.  I sent him the photo and he called back within 5 minutes, explaining the problem and the specific rubber piece that needed to be removed and replaced. He assured me that it was an easy fix. To take the rubber piece to Home Depot/Loews and ask a rep to help me find the part. We did exactly as he instructed and the resolved the issue with ease. Thanks to Jorge's kind assistance by phone, we were able to buy a part on our own for a couple of dollars and fix the problem  that day instead of having to wait 2 weeks and pay over $100 for a serviceman. Taking the time to help us while he was on vacation was truly impressive and speaks volumes about Jorge's integrity and quality of service. Going forward we will absolutely call him for all our plumbing needs. Thank you Jorge!

Jorge was very friendly, quick with the service, and also very patient with us when we mis-wrote the check. Very happy with the service -- we had a broken hot water pipe (CPVC) and he replaced it with a much better material so we'll hopefully never have to deal with it again.

Great service, great communication.

Our washer quit a week before Christmas and we needed to replace the faucets to install a new washer. I spent two days trying to find a plumber who would do the job and no one could come within a week.  Most businesses didn't even answer or call back until hours later.  When I called Jorge answered the phone immediately  and after hearing my predicament worked me into his schedule by offering to come after hours.  Within 24 hours after our first conversation I am looking at my new installed faucets!  Jorge was very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with.  It is easy to see why he has earned all the great ratings.
