Best Emergency Services in Portland OR

I'd love to leave a review about using Yore Place, but they couldn't even get around to returning my phone call and voicemail. I called on a Thursday, Sept 26th about a leaking water heater and left a voicemail.

No call back. I'm sure it's nice to be so busy that you don't need the work, but a 5-Star business at least has the decency to return a voicemail.

Awesome experience today!!!  We were in urgent need of a plumber... called them yesterday & lucky for us, they had a cancellation today!  Roy came out & fixed our problem with a quickness!  Highly recommend!!!!

Saturday request was done quickly and efficiently. Dave was friendly, worked quickly and left the work area clean.

He was very knowledgeable. I had another company come out and they said it was the motor on my furnace and it was going to cost $1500. Apollo came out and said it was the compressor and it only cost $500

Total ripoff company
I called for three slow drains and they talked me into a main line cleanout saying it would clear all of the problems. Nothing was solved. I still had three slow drains when they left. They claim total satisfaction guarantee, but do not reply to complaints.

Mr. Cates is a small business and I do try and support the little guys...especially when they live in the neighborhood, as his family does. He showed up in a short amount of time, after I explained our water main has a second leak in less than a year. He was very helpful with getting the city out to mark all our lines for gas, power, cable and water as the builders placed them all within a foot of one another at most, so replacing the water main is made more complicated by this setup. He was patient with my questions, kept a safe distance and wore a mask...all of which I appreciate as I have chronic health issues. He was very competitive on the bid, availible in a short amount of time and very professional. I would definately recommend him, without a doubt, and will keep his contact information for future reference.

We had Terry Massey come to our house to consult with us about a problem with our pipes and washing machine flow issues.  Previously we had a quote from another company who said we needed to replace the pipes which would have cost us over $1500!  When Terry came he made other recommendations to try first.  The first thing he tried took about an hour and fixed the problem without us having to replace our pipes...saving us over a $1000!!!  He was very efficient and did an amazing job.  We will recommend him to anyone who has plumbing needs!

These guys are expensive. They charged my parents $300 to install a basic kitchen faucet - about an hour of work. Granted, my parents did not ask for a quote before starting (I lectured them), but come on, $300? The faucet itself  was only $248. The worker was nice and did a good job, but way too pricey.

So we have a 1932 house with the original plumbing, and one of the original bathroom sinks leaked. Our previous plumber told us that it couldn't be fixed without ripping the bathroom apart, so for about 15 years we would just get it patched up but it would soon start leaking again, and so every couple of years we would have to get him out here for $150 a pop. We were going to do it again, but the plumber was getting ready to retire and didn't want the work, so a friend referred me to Burfitt. I texted him photos of the sink, he said we just needed a new faucet, knobs, and drainpipe, he ordered them for us without even coming over, then came over today with his assistant and fixed this and another problem. Good as new. We should have gotten him in years ago. And they said it couldn't be done!

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!

Awesome!!!  These guys are the best - we have a full house and one bathroom, so we need things fixed fast!  Louis explained everything and answered my questions, and got us working again.  Phew!!! Even the dogs liked him!

This was the second time i used Cornel's Plumbing.  My new washer couldn't be hooked up to the water supply because my house has horrible PVC plumbing.  The PVC pipe had become brittle and fused to the hot water valve.  It was late in the afternoon when I called Cornel's, and they sent a plumber out the morning of the very next work day.  Yay!!!  Although he warned me the pipe could very likely break when he tried to remove it, it didn't, thank goodness.  I was only charged his $150 trip fee.  Double yay!!!  Cornel's Plumbing will continue to be my preferred company in the future.  I highly recommend them.

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

Sewer Rats have been a lifesaver!  Patrick has helped us with several sewer problems we've had at our recently purchased home, and each time we needed him he was there within hours.  He was also almost half the price of the other people we had initially called.  I give Sewer Rats a perfect 5 for speed, quality, and price, but I have to tone it down just a bit because Patrick was a little careless with our newly planted landscaping and trampled a few plants.  Regardless, I'd call them back in an instant!

Thank you to go with the flow plumbing for coming on time and for doing a great job with checking my plumbing line under my home. They did a great job and were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend they to everyone.

We were given Malmedal's name from a friend and I'm so pleased with their service. We needed a bathroom sink, faucet, and toilet plumbed. They were prompt in getting a plumber scheduled and Dave showed up before the scheduled time! What a nice surprise with a service call. The work was done quickly and Dave was professional and very friendly. Everything looks great and we will definitely call Malmedal whenever we need plumbing work done.

I called Henco's after I had another company come out and give me and estimate and to look at our water heater. The first company immediately gave me the doom and gloom this water heater's going to blow up at anytime, you need to replace it today! (They just so happened to have a new one in their truck) I said I'd get back to them and then promptly called the second plumber on my list. The owner was very kind and gave me his opinion without trying to get business. I asked if he could come out and give an estimate on repair/replacement, he had someone here within a couple hours. Owen was very nice and honest, he said our water heater was NOT going to blow up, but it was leaking (we already knew, that's why we called). He didn't push any sales on us but we asked for a quote on replacement. His quote was MUCH less than the previous guy and Owen explained the differences in the water heaters available. We placed our order, a few days later they came and installed it. The two guys who came were very nice and professional, did an awesome job and answered all my questions. I HIGHLY recommend this company.

I'm on a well in Estacada and with my wife's gardening, we needed more water volume than my well could supply.  I went to Steve's and they suggested the right solution - a 1000 gallon tank with a separate pump that could supply enough water for all of our home and irrigation needs.  

Jason did everything with the construction/assembly.  He redesigned how it should fit together with the existing well and tank.  He put it together beautifully and efficiently with a much better access than I had with the old well house.

Jason, excellent job and thank you for your excellent work and suggestions!  I'll come back for more service when I need it!  

thanks

We use River City for a number of commercial properties we manage in and around Portland.  River City has been professional, experienced, solution focused and communicative.  They are also very cognizant of the building's tenants and will work around schedules as to not be disruptive.  They have handled everything from basic plumbing, new installs, storm line jetting, jetting large clogs and scoping and mapping sewer lines.  Overall, they are great to work with and highly recommend.

Looks like I'm not alone with this review - had a single drain backed up in the laundry room and looked online to see lots of $60-$90 estimates for drain cleaning.  I scheduled online with Roto-Rooter presuming their prices would be in the neighborhood. Definitely they get props for easy scheduling and prompt arrival.  However, the fellow looked at my issue, said, that doesn't look too complicated, and then quoted me $500.  I declined the service, scheduled with the competition and got it done for: yes indeed, $83, with a 90-day warrantee.  If you enjoy flushing your money down the tube that  I am sure Roto-Rooter would be able to clean out for you, schedule with their service.  Otherwise, I suggest the competition, and keep the nearly 700% markup in your pocket.
