Plumbing reviews in Portland, Oregon

This was the best plumbing repair experience. A shutoff valve in my kitchen was rusted shut and beginning to leak water. A box had been built over the shutoff valves.

Leo was able to get the box off without taking it apart. He took pictures of the valves and pipe so I didn't need to crawl into the cupboard. He explained the problem and offered me two options for repair and the cost of each. I opted to have everything fixed at the same time. The price was much less than i expected.

Leo replaced three valves and some pipe. He made sure everything was turned back on and working properly. He was professional, thorough, explained things in an easy to understand way, and cleaned up when he was done.

Thank you Meticulous Plumbing!

When we bought our new (but older) house in Portland, the home inspector told us about the old cast iron plumbing under the house. At first, we didn’t worry too much, but then we heard from our neighbors on both sides—they ended up needing major pipe work that meant digging under bathrooms and tearing up all their brand new floors. since our house was just remodeled and the floors are all new, we really wanted to avoid that. After looking into our options, we realized that relining the pipes would be the best solution. i work as an environmental engineer, so i’ve seen different types of pipe and manhole repairs before. I spent time researching and talked to several plumbing companies in Portland. One of our neighbors had just used a company to reline their cast iron pipes and we were really impressed with how thorough and professional the plumbers were. We decided to go with that same company, and i’m glad we did. edward, ruben, and josiah made a great plumbing team—they worked fast and took care of everything, from cleaning and jetting the pipes to using cameras to check the lines, and then relining and reopening everything just right. they finished the job even quicker than they promised and stuck to the price they gave us. other plumbers we talked to broke everything down into extra charges, which could have ended up costing us a lot more. If you need help with old pipes in Portland, call these plumbers. you won’t be disappointed!

I highly recommend these plumbers after they handled a major job fixing our collapsed sewer main caused by old piping. Josiah, Ruben, Edward, and the crew were all fantastic to work with. They clearly explained their plans, timelines, and what we should expect. Everyone was professional, friendly, and showed great attention to detail every day they were at our home in Portland. Even though it was a stressful situation, the team made everything much easier, and we will definitely call them for any plumbing needs in the future!

Russell & Sons Plumbing has handled several plumbing jobs for us, always showing up on time and being professional and friendly. They replaced most of the pipes in our home and brought in a concrete specialist to level the basement bathroom floor—a big project that another contractor couldn't finish, but they managed it without any trouble. I also recommend their tankless water heater installation. Edward, Ruben, Josiah, and the helpful dispatcher made the whole process easy. We’ll definitely call them again for any plumbing work, big or small!

About a year ago I picked Russell & Sons Plumbing to install new appliances in my kitchen, mainly because they were close by. I had no idea I was choosing one of the best plumbing services around. When it comes to plumbing, Josiah is careful, very knowledgeable, and always does a top-notch job. He is also very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole process smooth. Last time, Josiah helped me by installing my new gas stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Recently, he came right on time to fix an emergency leak under my bathroom vanity—something a weekend handyman had tried to repair but didn't do right. The leak started again less than an hour after that, but when Josiah showed up as scheduled, he quickly found the problem and fixed it in no time. I will definitely keep using this company for all my plumbing needs in the future.

Edward came out to my house in Portland to unblock my sewer line and install an access T. The work was done very quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised when I received a discount since the job took less time than expected. Edward was professional and explained everything clearly. After finishing the plumbing work, there was a small mound of dirt left in the front yard, but he let me know that they would come back soon to flatten it out and spread some grass seed. I’m happy with the service so far and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber in Portland.

Russell & Sons Plumbing did a fantastic job for us. Josiah arrived right on time to replace our sump pump and worked quickly to get everything running smoothly again. He explained that the old pump was no longer working and efficiently installed the new one in the sump pit. We were very happy that our sump pump problem was fixed so fast. Later, Edward came out to repair our leaking faucet. He was very tidy and careful while working, and even arrived a bit early, which was a pleasant surprise. He replaced the faulty hose on our pull-out faucet, and now there are no more leaks. We can use the faucet just like new again. We really appreciate the great work and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

i reached out to a local plumbing company in portland because my faucet was making a lot of noise. after i sent in my request, ruben gave me a call and explained that the problem might actually be something different after listening to what i described. he gave me a fair estimate and was able to come out the very next day to take care of it. as soon as he arrived, he put on shoe covers and used tarps to keep everything clean. during the installation, ruben noticed that one of the parts was faulty, but he took care of it by coming back the next day to finish the job. he stuck with his original quote even though it meant a little extra work, and he was really friendly and professional the whole time. i also appreciated that he let me watch so i could learn a bit about plumbing. i definitely recommend this plumbing service and have saved their number for any future plumbing needs.

noticed a leaking pipe in the basement that carried water from the toilets and showers to the septic, so i needed someone to fix it quickly. ruben and josiah arrived around 8:30 and got started right away. it was a pretty big plumbing job, since they had to replace a bunch of pipes and even had to lift and reseal one of the toilets. they worked fast and did everything really well, finishing up by 12:30. the clean up after was great and very detailed. i'm very happy i called russell & sons plumbing. they were professional and the price was fair. i'd definitely recommend them for any plumbing problems.

We called for help with a problem with our well pump, and Josiah from the plumbing company was able to come out the same day. By the next day, he had installed a new well pump and pressure tank for us right here in Portland. We are extremely satisfied with the service we received. Josiah was friendly and clearly experienced—he explained everything he was working on and made sure we understood the whole process. It was great to learn more about how our plumbing system works. We would absolutely recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing work and will call them again if we need help in the future.

On Thursday night, I discovered a serious clog in my shower drain that made it impossible to use one of my bathrooms. I called a local plumber in Portland on Friday morning, and even though they were fully booked, they arranged for someone to come out Saturday morning. Ruben was the plumber who helped me, and he did an outstanding job tackling the tough clog. I had already tried to clear it myself with a snake for about 20 feet, but Ruben went above and beyond, working in multiple directions until the blockage was completely gone. I was so relieved to have the issue fixed, especially since the clog had caused bad-smelling water to back up in my shower. Thanks to Ruben’s hard work and professionalism, my bathroom is back to normal and the house smells fresh again.

Big thanks to russell & sons plumbing and edward for helping us out with our shower drain in portland. another plumber told us we’d need to break concrete to solve the problem, and we had already prepared for that hassle. edward said he wanted to try his own approach first. he had everything fixed in just about 10 minutes and it cost even less than what the other plumber charged just to look at it. i really appreciate his honesty and how he took care of the issue so quickly. when i complimented him on his hard work, edward just smiled and said, “well, ya know, i like to sleep at night,” which shows he takes real pride in doing the job right. definitely recommend for any plumbing needs.

I had an old 25-year-old toilet that needed new parts inside the tank. I first tried fixing it myself with a universal plumbing kit, but it didn’t work out because the older toilets need special parts that fit just right. I called a local plumber on a Monday morning, and they sent out Josiah the same day. He quickly replaced the flush valve and fill valve in about 45 minutes, and now the toilet works perfectly. Over the years, I’ve had this plumbing company help me with other things too, like replacing a hot water heater, installing a new toilet, and fixing a couple of faucets. They always show up on time, do great work, and are very friendly and professional. Highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!

i highly recommend russell & sons plumbing. this was my second time calling them out to repair a pipe leak, and they did a fantastic job both times. the first time, they replaced my water heater and fixed a small leak above it. edward and josiah were both very helpful, professional, and friendly. this week, i needed help with a different leak in our basement and a clogged drain. ruben showed up right on time in the morning, and once again, the service was impressive. he worked efficiently, made sure everything was fixed properly, and left the area spotless. unlike a previous plumber i tried, who didn’t do the job right and left a mess, these folks are always reliable and careful. i know i can trust them to handle any plumbing problems in my old portland home. their quality of work and customer service is top-notch!

I contacted Russell & Sons Plumbing to help my parents in Portland, who were noticing some odd problems with their toilets and drainage. Josiah came out to check all the plumbing and drains. He was very thorough and explained everything clearly, letting us know there wasn’t anything wrong and there were no signs of a blockage, which was a big relief for my parents. We had asked if they could use a camera to look inside the pipes, but Josiah explained that it wasn’t necessary and would just add extra cost. He said he could still do it if we wanted, but he was honest about it not being needed. He also pointed out that one of the toilets was quite old and could be replaced in the future. The reassurance and honest advice made us feel confident in their work. The person who answered the phone was very friendly and helpful, and they were able to schedule us quickly. If any other plumbing issues come up, we’ll definitely call again.

I can’t recommend these plumbers enough. I was renovating my place and needed to replace the old sewer line because the city required it, even though it wasn’t in terrible shape. I got a bunch of quotes from other plumbing companies, some as high as $10,000 or even $20,000. A friend suggested I call these guys, so I did, and Ruben came out to give me an estimate. Their price was much more reasonable than the others, and they really went above and beyond with the sewer repair. When a couple of unexpected plumbing issues popped up during the job, Ruben and the team handled everything smoothly and brought in the right tools to get it done quicker than I expected. They even dealt with the city inspector and explained the plumbing work to him, making sure everything was up to code. They managed the whole process so I didn’t have to stress about any of it. I highly recommend this plumbing team. They made a big job much easier for me, and I’ll definitely be calling them for any future plumbing needs.

Getting ready to sell my house, I suddenly discovered that the bathtub was leaking water down into the basement. That’s the kind of surprise you get with older homes, especially at the worst possible time! I knew I needed a good plumber, so I called a company I’ve used before, but they couldn’t send anyone out for over a week. I waited a bit, but realized I shouldn’t let a leak sit that long. I decided to call another plumbing company, and they were able to send out Edward in just about an hour and a half. Edward quickly found the source of the leak and fixed it right away. He didn’t need to tear out all the old pipes, just installed some new piping and connectors where it was needed. He also replaced my bathtub drain stopper, which had been giving me trouble. The whole job was finished fast and the cost was very reasonable—under $200. I’m really happy with the service and would definitely recommend these plumbers to anyone needing quick, reliable help with plumbing issues in their home.

we had a small plumbing job with our master bedroom faucets and reached out to russell & sons plumbing. from the start, josiah was really professional and easy to talk to. he took the time to answer all our questions and made scheduling simple. on the day of the service, edward called ahead since he was running early, which we appreciated. he arrived, checked out our faucet issue, and fixed it quickly. edward was friendly and explained everything as he worked. he even offered to look at other plumbing stuff around the house and answered more of our questions. we’ll definitely keep using them for any plumbing jobs, big or small. highly recommend!

We had a water leak at our place in Portland, and called for plumbing help. The team was quick to respond and showed up right on time. Ruben, the plumber who helped us, was friendly and very professional. He got straight to work, used a drain snake to unclog our stubborn drains, and everything was flowing smoothly again in about 30 minutes. The service was a huge relief and really made a difference for our home. While we didn't get a price estimate before the job, having clear drains is so important that it was well worth it. We wouldn't have been able to do this kind of plumbing work on our own. Overall, we’re really happy with the repair and would definitely call them again if we need plumbing help. We also recommend their services to anyone in Portland looking for reliable plumbers.

we are so happy with the work russell & sons plumbing did for us. we’re remodeling two bathrooms in our portland home and needed all the pipes and fixtures replaced. edward and his crew were friendly, professional, and paid close attention to every detail. this was a big job with lots of new water lines and even a hookup to a new propane tank. they kept us updated every step of the way and made everything go smoothly. we highly recommend them and will definitely call for any future plumbing needs!

I was really glad to find this plumbing company in Portland when I needed someone with open availability. We were on a tight schedule and had a lot of plumbing work that needed to be done, like moving a floor drain, installing a new shower drain, replacing old galvanized pipes, running PEX lines for the shower, toilet, and sink, and updating the old drain line. It was quite a big job, but Josiah, Ruben, and Edward showed up right on time and really knew their stuff. They worked extra hours to make sure we always had water at night, and took the time every day to explain what was happening with the project. The crew was always respectful, kept the work area tidy, and made sure the doors were closed since we have a baby who can’t use the stairs yet. They regularly checked with me to see if there was anything more they could assist with or if there was anything that needed to be thrown out. You could really tell that customer care and honesty are important to them. I wouldn’t hesitate to call this team again for any future plumbing needs, and I highly recommend them to anyone in Portland looking for reliable plumbers.
