Reliable Help for Plumbing Problems in Portland, Oregon
When something goes wrong with the plumbing in your Portland home, it can feel disruptive right away. A toilet that won’t flush, a shower that suddenly stops draining, or a kitchen sink that backs up during a load of dishes can bring everyday life to a halt. At Meticulous Plumbing, we offer Portland plumbing services that make things clear, calm, and manageable again.
Our professional plumbers serve Portland and the surrounding areas, including Lake Oswego, with permanent repairs and respectful service that protects your home. We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we’re trained to work on residential and commercial systems.
What Kind of Plumbing Issues Do Portland Homeowners Face?
Portland’s mix of historic homes and diverse plumbing systems means problems can show up in many different ways. You may notice your shower losing pressure, water taking longer to heat, or drains that feel slower than usual. Some homeowners discover moisture under sinks or along baseboards, while others catch a faint sewer smell near a bathroom or laundry area.
Even something as simple as an unexpected spike in the water bill can signal a deeper concern. These early clues often point to issues with fixtures, pipes, or the water line, and they’re all good reasons to bring in a certified plumber who can pinpoint the cause before the problem grows.

How Do Meticulous Plumbing Technicians Diagnose a Plumbing Problem?
Many homeowners feel stressed when a plumbing issue happens because they don’t know what’s going wrong. Our job is to bring clarity. When we arrive, we protect your flooring, evaluate the immediate issue, and look for related risks so nothing is overlooked. A typical diagnostic visit may include:
- Assessing fixture performance
- Checking pressure at multiple points
- Identifying blockages or slow-flow issues
- Inspecting for hidden leaks
- Evaluating water heaters for efficiency and safety
- Reviewing the overall health of your plumbing system
We explain everything as we go so you understand the cause, the safest repair, and what to expect next.
When Should I Call for Plumbing Repair Instead of Waiting It Out?
If something in your plumbing system changes suddenly or keeps happening, you should reach out right away. Waiting often leads to more damage, especially when moisture is involved. Common signs you need a professional include:
- Water pooling under sinks
- Toilets that clog frequently
- Discolored or rusty water
- Hot water that doesn’t last
- Persistent dripping sounds
- Cracks in fixtures or pipes
- Sewage smells inside or outside the home
Even seemingly minor issues may involve failing parts, worn-out pipes, or deeper problems. Early repair prevents bigger emergencies and protects your home.
Why Is My Hot Water Running Out So Quickly?
Water heaters work hard in Portland homes, especially in colder months. If you’re running out of hot water faster than usual, it may be due to heating element failure, sediment buildup inside the tank, a worn thermostat, or simply a water heater nearing the end of its lifespan. Sometimes the unit is just too small for the household’s needs. No matter the cause, we help you understand what’s happening and what repair or replacement option will offer the most reliable long-term performance.
How Do I Know If My Home Needs New Piping?
Repiping isn’t something most homeowners consider until issues become frequent. You may begin noticing leaks happening more often, water pressure behaving unpredictably, or water that looks cloudy or metallic. Older Portland homes sometimes still contain outdated pipe materials that have gradually worn down. Repiping replaces those aging lines with modern, durable materials that stabilize your water supply and reduce the risk of future problems.
Can You Help With Kitchen or Bathroom Remodeling Projects?
Yes. Whether you’re updating fixtures in the kitchen, relocating plumbing during a bathroom remodel, or bringing an older home up to today’s standards, our plumbers work closely with homeowners and contractors to ensure reliable results. From moving a sink to reworking the water line layout, we help your new space function well for years to come.

Absolutely. Portland’s ADU boom has created a growing need for new plumbing lines, fixture installations, and drainage configuration. Whether you’re finishing a basement in Montavilla or adding an ADU in Woodstock, we handle all plumbing design, permitting, and installation.
If your water looks rusty, pressure drops frequently, pipes make knocking sounds, or you have recurring leaks, your plumbing system may be reaching the end of its lifespan.

They came out fast and just got the work done right then and there, at a fair price. Guy was super friendly, trustworthy and professional, didn't try to get me to do a bunch of stuff that was out of my budget.

I thought Adam Buck did a very thorough job. Everything turned out as expected. Adam did a great job of explaining the work before starting the work.

Kaleb and Meticulous Plumbing came through again. Toilet seal was leaking, toilet was not cracked. He did everything to replace the old ring with a new and better one. Cleaned up and gave a time-saving trick to get rid of toilet bowl stains. Kaleb is amazing...professional and personable. A rare combination. I will always request him when I call Meticulous Plumbing for plumbing services.

This was the best plumbing repair experience. A shutoff valve in my kitchen was rusted shut and beginning to leak water. A box had been built over the shutoff valves.
Leo was able to get the box off without taking it apart. He took pictures of the valves and pipe so I didn't need to crawl into the cupboard. He explained the problem and offered me two options for repair and the cost of each. I opted to have everything fixed at the same time. The price was much less than i expected.
Leo replaced three valves and some pipe. He made sure everything was turned back on and working properly. He was professional, thorough, explained things in an easy to understand way, and cleaned up when he was done.
Thank you Meticulous Plumbing!

What plumbing problem?! Went to bed with leaky toilet, woke up to begin my process of fixing it. They opened at 7am (which was awesome) and had a team out here within a few hours- all through text. Fixed, reasonably priced, and details with what was being charged. Kaleb and his sidekick (forget his name-gah) were awesome! Honestly from the intital text, response for booking, booking confirmation text, text arrivals, paying, and already being sent a follow up email with photos. The urgency of the customer support was top notch.

We were so relieved to find a plumbing company that is transparent, communicates clearly and does great work. We really were so happy. After experiences with two other plumbers, this is the one we'll be using for our go-to. PS - Edgar was fantastic!

Top notch company. We had water heaters at the end of life and one had a slow leak. I was able to get a plumber scheduled for the next day and get the heaters replaced. Eric and Adam were punctual and super nice. Highly professional and got both heaters replaced in a few hours. They cleaned up after themselves and left no traces. I had used Meticulous for a smaller project a little while back, but will absolutely continue to use them for all of our home plumbing needs going forward.
