Best Drain Repair 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.

Professional.  Creative.  Informative.  Friendly.  Visionary.

Those are not always the adjectives you'd think of for a plumber, but they fit Ti Sutherland perfectly.

We had a leak spring up in the pipe from the water main to our house... A nice little river running down our sidewalk.  We had the Water Bureau guy out and he gave us an initial assessment and thoughts about they type of work that the plumber we would hire would have to do.  We had several plumbers come out and give us quotes.

While Ti was not the cheapest, he had the best plan.  We were able to ask him questions and get well thought out answers.  Of all the plumbers, he was the only one to look in the crawlspace to see how the water was feeding in to the house beyond the initial shut-off valve in the garage.  One plumber told us they'd have to dig up the sidewalk and re-pour the concrete, which sounded crazy expensive.  Another plumber was going to jackhammer a corner of our garage to re-use existing steel pipes that did not have much time left.

Ti subcontracted some great people who were able to bore a hole from the water main, under the sidewalk, under our garage, and in to our crawlspace.  Ti then did some masterful work creating a new, easily accessible shut-off valve, redoing the spigot at the front of the garage w/an easy to use winterizing valve, turning our house in to a closed (1 way) system, and normalizing the water pressure.

After the work was done, Ti took us through all of the modifications and showed us how everything works.  He also gave us some thoughts about the future needs of our house and helped us start planning for eventual updates that will need to happen.

Ti was up front about pricing, and stuck to his quote.  The parts he used are very high quality, and we're extremely please with the quality of work.  We will definitely look to work with him again when we need a plumber.

Out of all the contractors we got bids from, we could tell from the start that Danaya was out for our best interests and wasn't trying to sell us on work that wasn't urgent. Amazing communication as well and all around a really down to earth person that could explain things in a way that was understandable to someone who has no knowledge about plumbing.

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!

Plus side: Pat was friendly and communicated well. Down side: This was an expensive repair ($1,625) for work that took Pat 3 hours to complete. We received a limited-detail estimate of $1,625 after Pat came out to investigate a toilet that was unstable/rocking and water refilling slowly. The toilet had a crack in it, but Pat first told us it would not need to be replaced. He determined that the flange needed replacement and that there was some wood rot below the toilet that needed repair. Because M5 Plumbing advertises their ability to do full-service bathroom remodeling, including flooring replacement, we decided to go with them. 3/4 particle board was installed on the basement ceiling from below the toilet to sandwich the old flooring and allow for the new flange and toilet to be installed. We requested a more detailed cost estimate which showed we were charged $375 to pull & reset toilet, $675 to remove and replace flange, and $575 for flooring repair, remove failed section of flooring, install new 3/4 plywood beneath floor, install new base for toilet, reinstall to tie flange to substrate.
On day of repair, at the last minute, Pat determined that the toilet indeed needed to be replaced, so we had to buy a toilet for him to pick up from Home Depot. Cost us $1,745 for the whole project which took him only 3 hours to complete. My sister is living in this (our) home, so we wanted to be sure it is working properly and all is well, but we live across the country. It's hard to manage home maintenance repair from a distance. I wish we hadn't been so hasty in our hiring decision. We do not plan to work with M5 Plumbing again. It was too costly for such a simple project. We questioned the flange replacement charge at $675 on top of the $375 toilet pull and set (seems like a double-charge of $375, as the toilet pull and set should be obvious in a flange replacement), but he stood by that cost. We probably could have flown across country, done the job ourselves, and got a family visit out of it for less than what he charged us. But, alas. We made a mistake.
Additionally, this is COVID pandemic season, and he failed to wear a mask during the work. He showed up with a mask for the estimate, but did the work mask-free. Disrespectful, at the least.
Finally, he left a mess: garbage bag in the bathtub, scraps all over the floor, and an old toilet lid. We hoped this would be a good experience so we could continue to work with him for future work, but this won't be happening.

We scheduled a meeting to get a quote on a new HVAC system with Sky Heating and A/C. Ben from Sky showed up. We were immediately met with high pressure sales tactics (e.g. down talking other companies, over-excessive use of confusing technical jargon, ambiguous and confusing answers to questions, and typical Why would you want to do business with anyone else? and How do we get your business today? attitude). We continued to ask for a paper quote, or something that outlined options and broke down pricing. Anytime we asked for paper quotes, Ben would change the subject and would rehash his high pressure sales agenda. When I finally got the point across that we're looking for quotes to do educated comparisons/research, we were told he would have to come back next week to present those quotes, which was confusing since you should come prepared to provide quotes during a sales meeting. I told him that we would be fine with a telephone call or Zoom meeting, to which he agreed. We scheduled the follow-up meeting prior to him leaving. Ben completely missed the meeting, and never followed up. First impressions matter. We will never do business, or recommend business to anyone, with Sky Heating and A/C.

I needed my toilet  fixed and I just couldn't do it. I called in the afternoon and TCP got it done before dinner time. Thank you Roy.

We had our water heater replaced by Sean. He was prompt in communicating with us, came on time and wore booties to protect the floor.  He also installed a pressure reducer which had a minor defect, but he came back out and replaced it and also repaired a leak at vanity sink and wabbly toilet all at no charge!  His job was very thorough and looks neat as well.  We appreciate his professionalism and conscientiousness. We highly recommend him.

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!

Kevin is a genuinely good guy and responded to my plumbing emergency (or non-emergency, as it turned out ) with care and celerity. I'd recommend him to anyone and will definitely call back next time I have a plumbing problem!

John and his partner from Fusion Plumbing LLC were punctual, professional, and patient. John was upfront with the assessment and explained the best and worst case scenarios re. a rusty/leaking pipe before turning the wrench. He also installed a new toilet where one had been incorrectly installed. He took the time to explain the plumbing on my 1950's home, as well as the hot water heater. I appreciate the time and care he put into educating me and keeping me updated through his process. Honesty and integrity are priceless these days. I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again.

Chris was very quick to respond to my request and questions. He is very knowledgeable and was able to get the job done in a short amount of time. Will use him again in the future.

Initially I loved this plumber, he did a great job on my kitchen faucet. It was expensive but it was done right.  So a few months later I called because my shower was dripping. When they came I had already obtained the gasket for my shower head but was told it was not needed as it wasn't the gasket but some other minor item which they fixed.  I paid the $200 service charge, which seemed a bit steep for the 15 minutes it took but it was fixed.  No. 2 weeks later the shower started dripping again & continued at odd intervals over the next few weeks until I called to ask them to come back.  Which they did today & at my insistence replaced the gasket & charged me, again. $350 + parts for the same leaky shower. Not happy customer.

Dave was wonderful.  He came on short notice on the weekend and spent much longer than he had planned as he ran into more than I thought was wrong.  He did an excellent job!  He was very kind, professional and respectful.  I would definitely recommend him.  Thanks for the great service Dave!

Simpson Plumbing has entered my home numerous times to re pipe my home, move a pipe or change some valves around. Each time the company and their representatives are kind, punctual, knowledgeable and very good at cleaning up any mess made. Always respectful.  Will continue to use them for my plumbing needs. Thank you!

5 stars for Alan! I called them about 8:15 this morning. I was told they would arrive between 10 & 12, which they did. Alan diagnosed the issue with a tub drain, gave me an estimate,  cleared drain, was friendly, explained things well and cleaned up thoroughly. Also replaced toilet flapper. I'd hired this company in the 70's to replace our service to the street. It is wonderful after all these years to find a company with the same honest & capable services.

Matt helped us with a few of our plumbing problems last year. He replaced the water line from the street to the house and installed a new dishwasher and faucet for us. He was always on time and quick to respond, fair priced, and really nice and professional. Just a few weeks ago the line he replaced to the house sprang a leak. The men that came out from the city to shut off our water took a look and said that it was very common for this type of leak to occur. I called Matt and also sent him a text with a picture of what was going on, we were in a time crunch because we wanted our water back on and were going to be selling our house in 2 days. He responded quick to my text and made it out the next day! I was pretty hysterical and he never made me feel like I was overreacting  We had a lot of work done in our home and used a lot of different contractors, Matt by far was our favorite and we highly recommend him!

The only real emergency plumber in the Portland Metro area!  I called everyone all the big names like Roto Rooter and all the little names about 30+ plumbers, many stating they had emergency services.  All stated 3-30 days until they could fix my emergency that left my home with no water.

I know some of it must of been luck(based on where the truck was at) but they were at my house within 1 hour of me contacting them and fixed my problem and I once again have running water!  Thanks!

The plumbing in my house backed up. When i googled roto rooter, a bunch of other companies popped up saying $85-$93 drain cleaning services.

I decided to call roto rooter and let the gal know the plumbing had backed up and asked if she had an idea of price, she told me they would need someone to assess before giving me a quote.
She gave me a time frame of when the people would be arriving and even said they might be earlier but they showed up late. I told them the problem, they came in my house and saw my bathtub and then said it would be $469 to fix. I was utterly SHOCKED by this price. Didn't feel like I had much of a choice as I had already waited hours for them to arrive and getting another company out could take even longer-- will not use them again
