About Reynolds Sewers in Portland, OR

Common early signs include discolored water (often brownish or yellowish), a persistent metallic taste, low water pressure throughout the house, and visible signs of rust or greenish-blue deposits around pipe joints. Given the age of many Portland homes, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection if you notice any of these issues, as early detection can prevent major leaks and water damage.

Slow drains can be an early warning sign of a septic issue or a blockage in your main sewer line. For Portland homes on septic, it's crucial to avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they can harm the beneficial bacteria in your tank. We recommend calling for a professional drain inspection and sewer camera service. This allows us to pinpoint the exact problem, whether it's a simple clog, tree root intrusion, or a full septic tank that needs pumping, and recommend the right repair.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the extent of the damage. For isolated issues like a single cracked section from a tree root or minor corrosion, a trenchless repair is often a fast and effective solution. However, for Portland homes with extensive, widespread corrosion or collapsed lines, a full replacement may be the most durable and cost-effective long-term choice. Our team will conduct a thorough video inspection to assess the condition of your entire line and recommend the best course of action for your property.
