Best Drain Cleaning in Portland OR

Last week we had Patrick from Clog Pro come out to fix an outdoor drain that had backed up. I had tried clearing & snaking it myself, but just could not get it unclogged. He was able to fix it without any problems, and was super communicative & friendly while doing so. We just got a fixer-upper house last year, so have met with a ton of contractors - he was one of the most pleasant I've dealt with. 5 star service.

The reason I give only a 4-star review is:
1. Little bit expensive - $219 minimum for a simple 20 minute job.
2. Appointment was something like 4-5 days after scheduling. Considering this drain was flooding into our house after storms, if there had been any other heavy rain forecast in the meantime we'd have needed a different company unless they do emergency scheduling (which wasn't mentioned).

I'll probably go with them next time if the scheduling works out just because excellent service is hard to find.

Karin was a very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we got what we needed, and clearly explained the heating/cooling terminology. (This helped alot when we were getting bids from other contractors) Overall Sky Heating beat everyone in the professionalism with a typed up quote, great knowledgeable staff, and making sure the furnace was installed the right way without cutting corners.

I cannot say enough positive things about Tri County.
Tina in their office is amazing, empathetic, and professional. She helped me figure out what we needed to do when the line between our water meter and the house developed a severe leak last week, and walked me through every step of the process.
Jeremy came out to do the digging, plumbing, and line replacement, and he was efficient, personable, helped us prevent some potential problems with the inspector, and didn't mind when I asked a million questions.
10/10, will definitely be going to Tri County for all our future plumbing needs.

Superb customer service. Superb work craftsmanship. Superb business owner. Sean sets the industry standard for others to emulate.

I can't believe I paid it, but I was charged over $900 to unclog a small residential bathroom sink line. I had already removed the plastic j-bend and connecting piping but didn't have the tool to remove a stuck wall penetration fitting. The plumber replaced the stuck fitting and snaked the line.  He also snaked the shower drain line.

It was easy an easy job and only took 2 hours.  I was charged about $250 for the 3 ABS plastic fittings he supplied. The rest was labor. He apologized for the high price and blamed it on INFLATION.  $450 an hour is outrageous.

For what little was done $100/hour is high but tolerable. That's what they can do to save their goodwill and public image.

Our toilet got clogged late in the night. I called Kevin the next morning. He came over quickly, fixed it, and gave me some good advice, taking the time to explain to me how the system works. Also, the price was reasonable and he made himself available if anything else happened after the fix. 5 stars

We had a massive leak with our main water line, water pooling in our front yard! John and Nick were able to come out same day to inspect. Super knowledgeable and explained their findings and options in an easy to understand manner.

Day of new water line install, they were super professional. We will be using Fusion again if we have other future needs.

Thank you!

I used Chris for a few jobs before but stopped using him once I texted him for a week straight about picking up a dishwasher he said he would dump for me after he replaced It with a new one and he did not respond ever. I tried again a year later to see if he can replace a toilet. My appt was supposed to be around 1. It became 5 o'clock (throughout the day he communicated he was waiting on an inspector but communication was only if I sent a bunch of texts every hour which seems to be a running thing). If I have a standing appt, I shouldn't have to wait 4 hours because of another job. That's not professional at all. I cancelled the job and will not be using him again. He's a nice guy and I'm sure he's buddy but not professional with timing and communication.

I Use terry on all my plumbing projects from smaller type jobs to full kitchen and bath remodels.  He is definitely one of the best plumbers around.

Total fly by night operation. They fixed a clog that became clogged again within days. Won't return my calls or texts. Overcharged me for a toilet which I only found out when the SECOND plumber came out to fix my clog. I would not recommend their services. Communication is poor and be prepared to OVERPAY. Terrible experience.

Ryan was on time, friendly, focused, thorough and patient in his investigation of a few different leaks. He promptly and efficiently corrected the issues showing and educating us about what was wrong and how it was fixed along the way.

These folks are AWESOME with a big 'A'.  A frozen water line due to the 'Big Freeze' in PDX today.  And these folks (Jeremy) was there within one hour. Severe water was running down interior walls throughout multiple levels of the house and with only our son Christopher who is living in the PDX place.  They isolated and drained frozen water lines . Thanks so much that Chris was there and notified me as it could have been much more nasty and destructive. And thanks so much that I knew of this great plumbing company (Cornel's).   Jeremy from Cornel's Plumbing was incredibly competent and knowledgeable tracing down the busted water line and isolating it to prevent further damage.  Folks in HI (where I live most of the year) are not used to severe cold like this... of course, climate change is 'Fake News'  according to the Orange one...

Needed main sewer cleaning as it was completely blocked. Eulisese, Eli and Chad did a great job and also ran a scope thru the pipe (at no additional cost) to check the condition of the main sewer line.

The guys worked hard, were professional and really nice to talk to.

Will definitely join their maintenance plan when I get paid.

Kent made two trips to get our spare shower fixed.  He did a great job by finding the problem.  He was on time the first visit and early the second (having to do two trips was not his fault, by the way!)  He was very kind and courteous, and let me watch out of my own curiosity ... putting up with all my questions.  Calling for an appointment is easy.  That they sent Kent was our bonus!

I came home from work yesterday to a plugged kitchen sink that I made much worse by fixing it myself. I left a message for Burfitt around 8 pm and they responded first thing in the morning. Even better, they were able to get Alan there in just a few hours. He fixed the sink, the price was right, and he was super pleasant to work with.  I'm so grateful it was such an easy process. Will definitely keep them as my go to when I need a plumber.

It works..

But...  There's always a but.  (TL:DR $850 for a job that should have been $225-375!)

I had Malmedal come out to my home to install a whole house water filtration system that I had already purchased from Home Depot. I knew after reading instructions that the piping was beyond my expertise to complete without leaking everywhere or breaking an expensive filter.

Malmedal was the plumber who put my new home's pipes in during construction approx 3 mos ago and I was referred by the builder.  They arrived on time scheduled, +1 star.

They got promptly to work reading the materials they needed even though the list of materials it was provided during the appointment, just was never forwarded to the person doing the work. I asked how much it would be, he mentioned, oh it might be around $450. (which is high ballpark for what I saw online) He had to go to the hardware store (probably charged time for this) to get simple tools that were probably also charged to me and that I had literally on a shelf sitting there already, (stud finder).

The piping got put in. I asked why It couldn't be done like example photos I saw, and he explained that those are copper this is Pex and requires to be cut at X to be under warranty  I'm not sure what that was but fine, ok.  Anyway, it looks wierd, and half the wall has pipes running across it.

Everything works, it looks fine, works fine, tastes great.

Now the Bill comes.  $850!!?!  Are you Serious?  IDK what in their right mind they have for billing $100 more I got from a different plumber that did my last house which even provided the filter.   You would think I would have saved $500 by providing the actual unit.

Everywhere I read, the labor and parts would be $375 high end for 2.5hr and parts which is why I said Ok when originally said $450.  I did not get an itemized receipt that broke down what was what, so Idk what I was actually billed anyway.

Not happy, beyond the fact that the thing works.

Just completed a replacement of a water shut off valve
by Austin Hays of My Plumber. Excellent work, very clean with his repair work. I have used a lot of plumbing companies in the past, but this company is a 5 star.

They flooded our kitchen and will not take care of their damage.   We have been without a kitchen since thanksgiving.  They sent a water remediation company and now I have a 12k bill.  Henco owner refuses to help us.

Complete scam.  When I questioned the manager why the material charge was so high, he told me that they purchased an amount of piping that was more than twice as much as was needed. I was never compensated for this extra' material.    They will charge you $100 as a fuel surcharge even if they are a few minutes from your property.   They will also charge you for the time to get materials - in my experience it took over an hour and a half.  I checked the pricing on the materials and they upcharge 40%.  Chaz, the manager, will not take your calls once he knows you are a disgruntled customer.  They price gouge and are extremely dishonest.  Avoid.

Roto rooter came to my rescue on a Sunday afternoon after another rescue rooter service stood me up after 5 hours of waiting.  I got a response in a few minutes and a technician was on the way to my house within an hour of my service call!  I had called a couple of other plumbing services and they pretty much told me to call them back on Monday to get on their schedule.  This was a slightly urgent matter and I really didn't want to wait until my basement was flooded.

Jacob cleared my basement drain rather quickly and he was very polite and knowledgeable.  He was able to assess the problem and it was taken care of the first time.  

Roto rooter was a little pricey but for the speed of service especially on a weekend it was worth it to me.
