Emergency Plumbing Help for Active Water or Sewage Problems
Call (503) 512-5900 for uncontrolled water, a burst pipe, a significant sewage backup, an overflowing fixture, a major water-heater leak, or loss of essential water service. We accept urgent plumbing requests throughout the Oregon side of Portland Metro.
What to Do Before a Plumber Arrives
If water is escaping and you can reach the property's main water shutoff safely, close it without entering standing water or an unsafe area. Keep people and pets away from sewage. If you suspect natural gas, leave immediately and call 911 and NW Natural from a safe location. Do not use switches or devices in the area or search for the source.
When to Call Instead of Using the Form
Call instead of waiting for an online reply when water cannot be controlled, a pipe has burst, or sewage is backing up significantly. Also call for a fixture that will not stop overflowing, a water heater releasing a large amount of water, or loss of essential water service. Use the standard request form for a slow drip, isolated running toilet, or another non-urgent problem that remains safely contained.
How the Urgent Problem Is Assessed
During the first call, we confirm the address, active hazard, affected fixtures or equipment, whether the water can be isolated, building access, and any utility involvement. At the property, the plumber evaluates accessible conditions and defines the immediate containment or repair scope. Work outside the confirmed plumbing scope is identified instead of being assumed.
Which Plumbing Service Fits the Problem?
Use this emergency path for immediate containment and dispatch. Choose Leak Detection when the source is unclear but water is contained, or Pipe Repair for a confirmed isolated pipe failure. Sewer Line Repair covers a confirmed sewer-line condition. Gas Line Services is for planned gas work after an active-leak emergency has been handled by the utility or 911.
Information That Helps With Triage
Have the exact address, a safe callback number, affected room or equipment, when the condition began, whether water is still flowing, whether a shutoff was used, and any safe-to-take photos ready. Do not delay leaving an unsafe area to collect information.
