M T Dunn Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Hillsboro, OR 97123

Given our Hillsboro climate, we often recommend high-efficiency models that can handle local water conditions. During a consultation, we assess your home's size, fuel type (gas or electric), and usage patterns to recommend a unit that provides reliable hot water while managing energy costs. Our installation service includes proper permitting, safe disposal of the old unit, and a thorough check of all connections and pressure relief valves to ensure safe, long-term operation.

In our area, low pressure can stem from several issues. Older homes may have mineral buildup in pipes, or pressure regulators can fail. We also frequently find that during freeze-thaw cycles, small leaks or pipe stress can develop, reducing flow. Our plumbing inspection service starts by checking your home's main shut-off valve, pressure regulator, and visible pipes for issues. We can then diagnose whether it's a simple fixture problem, a hidden leak, or a need for pipe repair or replacement to restore proper pressure.

Absolutely. Burst laundry hoses are a common and preventable issue in Hillsboro homes. We recommend and install braided stainless steel supply hoses, which are far more durable than standard rubber hoses and resist the wear that leads to bursts. As part of our service, we can also inspect the water shut-off valves for your washer to ensure they function properly in an emergency. This simple upgrade provides significant peace of mind and is a service we perform regularly for local homeowners.
