A burst or split pipe
Until the supply is shut off and the pipe repaired, a broken supply line keeps putting water into floors, walls or ceilings. When you call, say where the water is coming from.
Emergency Plumbing in Portland
A supply pipe that splits, a basement drain pushing up sewage or a water heater emptying across the floor can wreck an ordinary evening. Whichever it is, call us and we pass you to a plumber.
We take calls about plumbing emergencies anywhere in Portland, from a single fixture to the main water or sewer line.
Plumbing emergencies
Sewage backing up into the house
When sewage comes up through a basement floor drain, a tub or a toilet, the trouble lies in the line somewhere past that fixture. Call us and we connect you with a plumber.
A toilet that keeps overflowing
A toilet that keeps overflowing can have a blockage further down the drain than the bowl itself. Call us when the water keeps rising and we connect you with a plumber.
A leaking water heater
Water collecting beside a tank heater needs attention before it spreads. Whether that means a repair or a new heater is the judgement the plumber you hire makes on site.
Some taps work and others do not
When some faucets run and others give nothing on a cold day, the Portland Water Bureau says you may have a frozen pipe, and pipes can break when they freeze. Call us and we connect you with a plumber.
Freezing weather in Portland
Portland’s January nights average a low of 36°F, and in a typical year the thermometer reaches 32°F or below on about 27 days. The Water Bureau’s advice for that weather is to insulate pipes in unheated attics, crawl spaces and basements.
Knowing where the shutoff valve sits, and how it turns, is the other step the Water Bureau names, so that a pipe breaking in cold weather can be stopped quickly. To see how your own pipe runs score, try the pipe freeze risk checker.
Damp patches that have no clear source suit leak detection, and sewage smells drifting up from the yard suit sewer repair. For any other plumbing problem, the homepage lists the remaining services.
