Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my sump pump fails during a Portland rainstorm?
A failed sump pump during our rainy season can quickly lead to a flooded basement. Lovett offers 24/7 emergency response for sump pump repair and replacement. Our local team understands the urgency and common causes of failure in Portland homes, such as power outages, switch issues, or a overwhelmed system. We prioritize getting to you quickly to assess the situation, provide a temporary solution if needed, and perform a permanent repair or install a new, reliable unit with minimal disruption to your home.
My drains are constantly slow or clogged. Can Lovett provide a long-term solution?
Yes. Recurring drain clogs often point to a deeper issue, like tree root intrusion, pipe scale buildup, or a damaged sewer line—common problems in older Portland neighborhoods. Beyond just clearing the immediate clog, Lovett offers comprehensive plumbing inspections using camera technology to diagnose the root cause. We then provide a range of solutions, from targeted drain repair and cleaning to full sewer line repair or replacement using trenchless methods where possible. Our goal is to fix the underlying problem for a lasting solution.
Does Lovett handle the excavation work needed for major plumbing repairs?
Absolutely. As a full-service provider, Lovett manages the entire project from start to finish, including necessary excavation, trench digging, and soil backfilling. This integrated approach, developed through our strategic growth, means you have one trusted team accountable for everything. Whether it's for a new water main, sewer line installation, or repairing a broken pipe beneath your yard, our crews handle the digging, plumbing work, and final site restoration, ensuring the job is done correctly and efficiently with minimal hassle for you.
