Best Leak Detection in Portland OR

I had recently noticed that the hot water pressure in my house was awful, and that it took forever to get hot water out of the faucets, especially the bathtub. I had 42 year old galvanized pipes and they were corroding and needed to be replaced.  I got three estimates and Repipe Specialists was my middle bid.  They did a terrific job replacing my pipes, all the way out to the street, and boring a hole thru my crawlspace wall to get into the  house.  They did the job in one day and now I have fast flowing hot water all over the house, with a wonderful new shower head, outside faucets that don't need insulation in the winter, and all pipes insulated.    Gwen N

We are extremely grateful for the excellent service that we received from Dennis Kirby of Mr. Rooter Plumbing tonight!  He arrived within an hour of our call as promised. There was no extra charge for being after regular business hours.  He was extremely professional and considerate of our home.  He quickly diagnosed the problem which turned out to not really be a problem.  He left without charging us for the Service call.  I was very worried that the off-hour service call alone would be expensive but there was no charge for that.  I am also always afraid that a professional might take advantage and find a problem just to have a reason to charge us.  This was not the case.  I am really happy to know that we received good care from a professional that we can trust.   I am definitely hanging onto Dennis's card just in case something comes up in the future.

I called Clog Pro on Friday and they had availability the next day and didn't charge an additional fee for weekend work, which is apparently a thing in the plumbing world. I can't say their rates were super expensive or super reasonable, because I think that plumbers overall are on the spendy side. But you know what? They did a great job and now I won't have to call anyone again for a long time, hopefully. My work also came with a 60-day guarantee, which is great. I love a company that stands behind their work.

Of the three plumbing companies I called, Clog Pro was the only one that had an actual person answer the phone. The other two still haven't called me back.

I needed my bathroom tub and sink drains cleaned, as they all tend to run slow despite my best efforts to stay on top of them. I hadn't had them professionally cleaned in quite a while and they were really getting out of hand.

Patrick came out and did an excellent job. He was actually running EARLY on Saturday (who does that, btw?!) and I got a courtesy call asking if he could come early. I said yes (of course!) and after the work, I got a call from the dispatcher asking if I was satisfied with the work minutes after Patrick left.

Patrick was professional, courteous, quick - yet thorough, and he didn't make a mess (or he cleaned up after himself if he did). He's very friendly and I asked if I could add on my kitchen sink at the last minute, and he accommodated my request with no problem.

My only complaint is that I got charged a $20 truck fee (whatever that is) that I was not made aware of in advance. I guess I'm paying to help fill the truck with gas - even Patrick wasn't completely sure what this charge was, but he said it was a standard charge.

Will I call them again if I have a plumbing issue? Absolutely!

TL:DR: Great service, quick, communicative, and a 60-day guarantee. Will call again for plumbing needs.

(review written by my husband Pat on behalf of both of us.) You know the phrase ya learn something knew everyday? Well thanks to John Benton I learned something new that actually ended up saving me thousands of $$$$. After being told by another plumbing co. that my home needed to be re-piped, I thankfully had Sutherland come out to look at my problem, (low water pressure). Turns out my PRV (pressure reducing valve) was failing to the low side. Wait a minute I said, the other guy I talked to said my pressure would be very high if the PRV was bad. John then explained to me they can fail to either side and I said, ya learn somethin' new every day! Then I realized I had just met a very honest person who was interested in fixing my problem and had some integrity in a professional field that has it's share of...those that don't have those qualities.
John took the time to test pressures at various places around the house to confirm his diagnosis and spent the better part of an hour inspecting the plumbing under the house and giving me a thorough explanation of what needed to done, what it was going to cost and my options.
I have to say it was a pleasure doing business with Sutherland Plumbing. The work they performed was done quickly, cleanly and came with a 10 yr warranty. I won't hesitate to hire them again if I ever have a problem I can't fix myself and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks John for saving me a huge amount of money!

Awesome service !! Joseph quickly found my leak that was initially caused by a tree company 10 months ago when they damaged my main line and repaired it but not up to code. He saved  me from a $5000 complete line replacement which is what I was told I would need !!!! Thank you Joseph !!

I cant say enough about Cate's Plumbing. They were not only amazing at what they do, but a company i could really trust in a time when I was dealing with a lot of issues for the first time.

I found my plumber for life.

Technicians and scheduling was excellent. I will not use again based upon the totally inappropriate message left by their billing supervisor stating I can see  you are opening invoices and I want to know why you have not paid yet The first invoice was sent expecting full payment prior to completing the job. The second invoice was sent less than 24 hours ago and I did not have payment method with me when I opened it. I have not shared all the wording of the message and Im very hard to offend.... I am offended. I would never expect such a rude voice mail after paying 15K into my 23K project with payment upon completion. When shared with billing supervisor I felt placated.

This started out to be a great experience, I said the clog is probably right there by the shed. My mom has had it fixed there before.
Then once they left I have dirty floors, bag of shit in my carport, big hole not filed in. Telling me to let it dry out, fill with gravel not dirt. It's raining, and winter ... what's the odds it will dry out anytime soon. Charged me 547.00 for a pipe of maybe three feet long and two brackets to hook it on. Outrageous!!
Won't call them again. Tried to stay local, shouldn't have!!!  1046.68 dollars later I feel my toilet and shower work but got handed a mess!!!
Now I can't enter my shed because there's a huge hole.

I can't say enough great things about Burfitt Plumbing! I had multiple plumbing issues that I had been putting off - nervous about what the cost would be. One of the issues was my water heater, not generating enough hot water anymore. My neighbor had the same issue around the same time, and his plumber replaced the whole water heater.  Burfitt was able to just replace the bottom heating unit - saving me hundreds of dollars. The technician also took care of a leaky pipe that was attached to the garbage disposal and my broken bathroom drain plug. All this taken care of quickly, professionally and inexpensively and on a Saturday to boot! I wish I would have called sooner!
Thanks Burfitt Plumbing!!

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.

We have used Northwest Plumbing and Drain at several properties.  Always impressed with work and price.  Also David is very friendly and easy to work with.  Would highly recommend.

Fast response-called on Wednesday afternoon and they sent a tech out the next morning and fixed my leak coming from upstairs bathroom within an hour, very efficient! Will be using again.

Great plumbing company! Very easy to communicate with via email and phone. Prompt scheduling and quick and professional service. Austin came out to do a kitchen sink drain assembly replacement at our home. He finished the job in 30 minutes and also hooked up our new garbage disposal. The cost was very reasonable and in line with market rates. There were no hidden fees or minimum hourly requirements. We'll be calling My Plumber for any future plumbing issues.

Came out on schedule to give estimate for work.  Reliable but we ended up passing on it all together

Job was to replace a kitchen faucet.  Not rocket science but it can be messed up.  it wasn't.  Everything ship shape again.  Will use again when the time comes.

Nick and his crew repiped our house last spring, added plumbing and drainage for a washer, replaced our water heater and added a water line for our refrigerator. Nick does honest, quality work for a reasonable price and like another reviewer said, will not try to up-sell you. He actually talked us out of a more expensive option too!
Working with Nick and his crew is like working with family. I would absolutely love to work with him again! Stop looking for a plumber now, you've already found the best one!

Chris provided fast service and addressed our multiple requests (shower drip, running toilet, broken hose bib) with aplomb. He even kept my energetic 6-year-old entertained, answering all his questions. We are a repeat customer and intend to keep it that way.

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!

I had rotorooter come out to look at a plumbing issue. The gentlemen who came over were very nice. They told me rotorooter was competitive in their pricing. They fully took advantage of the situation. They were here for barely over an hour. They left a mess, including their spare piping all over the garage. They didn't even have the courtesy to replace the insulation or even replace the duct tape to hold the insulation together which they cut through. I was told by a few other companies I was fully taken advantage of. I complained on the website and someone told me they would have the manager get in touch with me. He did, however he was rude and had no knowledge of the work that had been done. I gave him the invoice number and continuously told him what was done and exactly what had been written on my invoice. He kept saying they did work outside or to the garbage disposal and other things which had NEVER been done. I was charged $1140 to fix a hose bib and a toilet shut off valve. After speaking to the manager he told me they would credit me $75.00 and that was over a month ago... still no action has been taken on their part. He also didn't have much to say about the pricing that shouldn't have been charged for the extrememly minimal amount of work they did. I would advise anyone and everyone to STAY away from this company. They leave a mess, overcharge, and don't hold themselves accountable. Their also uncertain of their warranty, the manager told me two years however the employees and my paperwork state one year.

Avoid if you can. Apollo will over charge 3-5X the market rate.
I will not do business with this company again.
