PDX Sewer & Drain | Plumbing Services in Portland, OR 97229

Hydro-jetting is a powerful, non-invasive cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes. For Portland homes, it's especially effective at clearing the stubborn grease, mineral scale, and sediment that cause slow drains and can even affect water heater efficiency. Unlike snaking, hydro-jetting cleans the entire pipe circumference, removing buildup that leads to future clogs and ensuring optimal flow.

Common signs include multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard or basement, and unexplained soggy patches in your lawn. Portland's older homes and shifting soil can put stress on sewer lines. We recommend a professional sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the exact issue, whether it's a root intrusion, a cracked pipe, or a collapsed section, so we can provide the most effective repair or installation.

A thorough plumbing inspection ensures your new installation will function correctly and last. For a water heater, we check for proper venting, correct pipe sizing, and sediment levels in your existing tank to prevent immediate issues. For a sump pump, we assess your basement's drainage, the power source, and the discharge line to ensure the system can handle Portland's heavy rains. This proactive step prevents callbacks and protects your investment.
