Should I turn off the water before the plumber arrives?

Yes — if water is actively flowing or flooding, shut off the main supply valve first. In Portland homes, the main shutoff is typically near the meter at the street or where the supply enters the foundation. We walk you through it on the phone if you can't locate it.

Do you handle sewage backup emergencies?

Yes. Sewage backup is one of the most urgent calls we receive — health and property damage risks are immediate. We arrive with the equipment to clear main-line blockages, camera the line to confirm the cause, and recommend sewer repair if the lateral is compromised.
