Global Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Portland, OR 97223

Our Portland-specific plumbing inspections use sewer camera technology to visually inspect the interior of your underground pipes. This allows us to spot the early signs of moss and tree root infiltration—a common issue here—before they cause a full blockage or pipe collapse. Catching it early means we can often clear the roots and recommend preventative measures, saving you from a major sewer backup.

Common signs in the Portland area include slow-draining yard drains, gurgling sounds from floor drains after a rain, or pooling water in your driveway or basement. Our inspection service proactively assesses your entire storm drainage system, checking for debris buildup, structural issues, and improper grading that could lead to blockages and flooding when our heavy autumn and winter rains arrive.

While chemical treatments offer a temporary fix, they don't address the root cause (literally). An inspection by Global Plumbing identifies the exact entry point and condition of the pipe. We can determine if the pipe is cracked and needs repair or relining, which is a permanent solution. For Portland's clay soil and abundant foliage, a targeted, physical repair is often necessary to prevent recurrent intrusion and protect your property's foundation.
