Common plumbing problems we fix in Lents
Water heater not strapped
Oregon requires seismic straps on water heaters. Many older installs were never strapped or use straps that no longer hold.
Sewer backing up after heavy rain
Older clay and concrete side sewers let in roots and groundwater. A camera shows whether it is a root mass, an offset joint or a collapsed section.
Slow drains through the whole house
When every fixture drains slowly, the problem is usually in the main line rather than at any single drain.
Backflow assembly due for testing
Testable backflow assemblies on irrigation and commercial lines need an annual test by a certified tester.
Rusty or low-pressure water
Galvanized supply pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing the line and staining the water. Repiping is usually the lasting fix.
What affects the cost of plumbing work in Lents
Before you call
Do you give quotes upfront?
Yes — you get a clear, flat price before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Do you work weekends?
We keep flexible hours, including evenings and weekends where we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
No — estimates for Plumbing in Lents are free and no-obligation.
Do you work on private wells as well as city water?
Yes. We repair and replace well pumps, pressure tanks and switches, and install filtration for wells with iron, manganese or hardness.
Why do pipes freeze here when winters are mild?
Most homes have supply lines in vented crawl spaces. When a cold snap brings several nights below freezing, exposed lines can freeze and split, usually showing up when they thaw.
Do I need a water softener?
Usually not on city water - Salem and Portland water is soft. Softeners and filters are mainly for private wells with hard water or iron.
