Best Drain Installation in Portland OR

We had a leaking hot water line in our crawl space, discovered by an A/C maintenance technician.  My husband didn't think it would require a lot of work, but didn't have the time to figure out what pieces he would need to fix it.  All the major plumbing places were booked out 5-12 days, and we were headed in vacation the next business day.

Curtis Leonard of Yore Place fit us in the same day, even offering to deliver the necessary part and explain how to do it ourselves to save money!  Such a nice guy.  I just had him do it for us (it was indeed a quick fix), and he said my husband could call him later with any questions.  The other available plumber wanted to charge an extra $100 crawl space fee, even though the crawl space is almost big enough to stand up (we live on a hill).  Curtis charged us less than half of that quote.  He will be my first call the next time we have any plumbing needs, emergency or otherwise!

Greg came over the same day, was knowledgeable, helpful, kind, quick and professional.
5 stars all the way around.

I had a ductless heat pump and the install was mostly well done, but there have been a lot of small issues that have added up to a general annoyance with Sky.

During the quote, Travis made a point to tout the UV-resistant tape they put on the lineset insulation, but they never did this. Honestly I don't care about this, as replacing the insulation whenever it crumbles is trivial, but it was ironic for sure.

Travis said they would seal up the hole in the wall -- of course -- as if it was unthinkable that they would not do this. But during a later visit from a tech, it was discovered that the hole through the plaster wasn't sealed with anything. He seemed unprepared and ended up using a scrap of rock wool I had laying around to seal the hole. Fibrous insulation like rock wool is not an air barrier, so this was still a poor solution.

I've had issues with a bad smell during warm weather when it is in cooling mode. They came by one time and cleaned the evaporator coil (this was also when the hole in the wall was semi-plugged) and the issue still has not been solved. The smell is not unbearable but it is an annoyance and I'm fearful that we'll have to live with it for 20+ years until the thing is replaced.

The indoor unit also occasionally makes a ticking noise because it vibrates. I've tapped/adjusted the plastic housing many times hoping it would go away, but it always comes back, maybe once a day or so. I emailed Sky about this and received no response. This is at least the second time I've had them drop the ball on communication. I even sent them a second email with a video of the ticking noise happening. Here it is: youtube.com/watch?v=rH1D…

Their electrician also seemed like a slob. He did not use dust collection when boring through basement joists, leaving a sawdust mess. He also marked all over my main panel with a sharpie.

These issues aside, I'm mostly happy with my heat pump. I'm an efficiency nerd and ductless heat pumps really are the best thing you can get right now. My bills are certainly low. I also liked that Travis did a Manual J heat load calculation -- this is part of what sold me. They seemed very professional. But it's seeming like that professionalism is limited to the sales experience only.

Tri County Plumbing is the best plumbing company -- anywhere.  From the moment you talk with Tina, who does the scheduling, to having Roy come and take care of whatever plumbing emergency you're having, it's impeccable service.  I recommend them to everyone I know who is needing a plumber.

I had a leak in a new faucet drain that I could not stop. Sean was very responsive and was able to schedule me quickly. He showed up timely and very efficiently fixed the problem. I would call him again for any plumbing needs I have.

Had a terrible experience with this company.  The tech that came out was belligerent, very unprofessional, they charge 2-3 times more than most companies, I see why they were able to come out same day, no one probably wants to pay their rates!!!!  Never again, will wait for our reasonable, professional company next time!

Terry helped me with an emergency yesterday. Water intake pipe in my crawl space. He and Peter came out in an hour. He talked to the home Warranty company and helped me with the info I needed to make an insurance. They were awesome to work with. Thank you my friend!  Also thanks to Jaime for facilitating!

I highly recommend Ti Sutherland and the Sutherland Plumbing Team.  We had the pipe from the water main to our house break in the yard, and thus were without water.  Of course this happened when our son was 1 week old, so being without water was a major emergency.  We called a few other plumbers, they all were going to see if they could make it to our house later in the week, meaning we would be without water for a minimum of 5 days.

When we called Sutherland Plumbing, Ti was the only plumber that acknowledged the tough situation we were in, and he was at our house an hour later, and got us set up with temporary water right away!  

For the permanent fix, I assumed it would require digging a trench through our yard and would entail a major construction project.  But Ti had another solution, he used a specialized drill rig to replace the pipe without digging up our yard.  The whole process took about half a day.  

The entire Sutherland team was courteous, punctual, and highly qualified - true plumbing professionals!  For any future plumbing issues we will be calling Sutherland Plumbing, and I recommend that you do as well.

John is fantastic. We didn't even end up hiring him because he was able to help walk me through the problem on the phone. Other plumbers we called gave us a quote of $500 for our problem without ever really talking to us. John took the time to explain things so clearly. Although we didn't end up working with him he will be the plumber we call for any of our future plumbing needs.

Dave McNair is a friendly, competent plumber. He trouble shoots first to find the source of the problem rather than fixing parts that aren't broken. He was able to unplug the stem inside wall of bathtub/shower. He also cleaned two drains and showed me the clogged aerators in both of my sinks. He is tidy and polite. The cost of the repair was close to his estimate and he did more work than expected. I am a relieved and happy customer. Will definitely call him again if needed.

I discovered our STEP system wasn't working properly and the tank was quickly filling with large amounts of waste. I contacted Simpson Plumbing and they were out the next day first thing in the morning. Kenny was personable and kept us up to date on what he was finding. This ended up being an all day job for him. I know it wasn't easy as he was elbow deep in the muck. We would highly recommend these guys!

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.

So happy to not only have found an affordable plumber but also one that is professional, honest and just an all around salt of the earth person. Was in a jam when our kitchen faucet kept dripping. When we bought our home it had come with ridiculously expensive & impractical fixtures. So we were stumped how to try and fix this already worn out faucet that was made in Isreal by a company that has since gone out of business.  I just said screw it let me run to HD and just buy a new practical faucet. Danaya came out and had it installed within an hour. Was so happy to have my kitchen sink back and to have a nice normal working faucet.

Finally, a plumbing company that does a good job at a decent price. Summerson is the 3rd plumber I've hired this year. I think I've got a keeper.

I always always use these guys. Except recently, I almost cheated on them with somebody else and I feel horrible about it. Ultimately, I came back to these guys to get the job done. I don't know what I was thinking even considering somebody else.

This was the first time I had worked with their guy named Justin. He is top notch, just like everybody else they have. In particular, Justin's emotional intelligence in terms of explaining the job was fantastic.  You know, plumbing jobs can sometimes induce sticker shock, but he was able to keep me level headed.  With that said, their estimate turned out to be in line, and even better, than the other estimates I received.  

There's just simply nobody else I'm gonna call going forward whenever I need plumbing done. Being able to trust these guys just puts my wife at ease.

I called Trident out and a tech named kyris showed up, he was professional, courteous, and explained everything thoroughly.  he gave me a bid  showing me exactly what needed to be done and I was a little skeptical at first but I agreed to the price as it was much lower than the other to companies in Salem that gave me bids. Kyris finished up the work and I was blown at how good he did! I will now use Trident Plumbing from now on.. 5 stars for the above and beyond work he did at his price. thank you

Absolutely excellent plumbing company!  They plumbed in a sink in our garage and it is perfect!  They will be out tomorrow to install a new kitchen faucet. We keep thinking of plumbing projects now haha!  They are that good!  Good contractors are so hard to find these days. They are excellent!

Very professional and timely.  I needed to have a washer and sink plumbed in and they did it correctly and pointed out some possible flaws in how I was going to hook it up.  Saved me money from having to go back and fix things in the future.  I would use them again.

Oh man, these guys were great! We just moved into an older home a few days ago and the water shutoff for the washing machine was seized and broke off. I called at 830 am to see if they could make it over sometime in the next few days to fix it, and an hour later Travis was at my door. He cut out the previous owner's DIY valves and installed a new shutoff box for me, helped me move the old washer out and the new one in, and was on his way by 11! I honestly don't know if there would be cheaper options, but I fully expected to pay more than what I did for the job, so I think they are very well priced. Hillsboro Plumbing definitely has my future business!

A clog in the main drainage line from our kitchen sink caused a flood when I took a shower upstairs this morning. The kitchen sink overflowed onto the counters and floor. Roto-Rooter was the only company I called who could help us today, and the technician (Sam) arrived within a couple of hours. He was very professional and courteous, and he resolved the problem completely in about an hour. The cost was on the high side but the job was done quickly and properly and includes a six month warranty. I would definitely recommend this company based on our experience.
