For a burst pipe: shut off your main water valve immediately. For a water heater emergency: turn off the gas or circuit breaker to the unit. For a sewer backup: stop using all water in the home. Our dispatcher will walk you through the right steps when you call.
Yes. Much of Portland's housing stock was built before 1970, and the plumbers in our network are experienced with galvanized steel pipes, older cast iron drains, outdated water heaters, and original sewer lines.
