Drain Replacement

Sometimes, a repair isn’t enough. Old drains may not be up to code or are extensively damaged. Your experienced plumber will only recommend replacement if it’s the best, most cost-effective method for you.

Keep an Eye on Your Drain Health

Portland's heavy rains and aging infrastructure can put a strain on plumbing systems, making regular maintenance and repairs particularly important to avoid unexpected issues. Routine drain upkeep and prompt repairs are vital for several reasons. Monitoring the condition of your drains through inspections and proper maintenance helps prevent water damage, ensures efficient drainage, avoids health hazards, and saves you from costly repairs in the future.

Common Drain Issues

Slow drains, foul odors, gurgling noises, water backups, and visible leaks around pipes or fixtures are common indicators that your drainage system requires professional attention. Water pooling around drains suggests a potential blockage or buildup, while unpleasant smells may indicate trapped debris or stagnant water. Unusual sounds from drains could signal air trapped due to clogs or leaks. Water backing up from drains, sinks, or toilets is a serious issue, potentially caused by a major blockage or sewer line problem. Leaks around drain pipes or fixtures necessitate immediate repair. If you encounter any of these warning signs, it's crucial to seek professional drain repair services to prevent further complications and potential damage.

Depending on the type of business you own, it can be easy for your drain to become clogged. Typically, drains in commercial buildings become stuffed with soap residue, fats, oils, grease, and other types of debris.

Drainage systems in commercial buildings are worn from years of constant and repeated use. This consistent wear and tear on your building’s pipes can often cause drainage issues.
