Plumbing Services
We use only quality products and pride ourselves on excellent service. It is important to us that your job is done right the first time and that you are comfortable having us in your home. We pay special attention to jobsite cleanliness and will leave only after the mess associated with the plumbing repair is cleaned up. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and provide full-service plumbing for Portland, Oregon homes.
Re-Pipes & Remodels
Cleaner water throughout your entire home. Now when you or a family member takes a shower, bath, or washes the dishes will all have cleaner water touching their skin. Also, any of the contaminants like lead, rust and other harmful chemicals will be gone! Pipes don't typically break down overnight unless acted upon by an outside force, as they will slowly deteriorate over time.
Water Heaters
As a general rule, a tank style water heater will last, on average, 8 to 12 years. If your water heater is pushing the 10-year mark, there's a good chance it's time to replace the unit. A water heater is essential for everyday tasks in your Portland Oregon home, like taking a shower and washing dishes.

PCP was great and very helpful. They installed our water heater for house in Portland. No hassle, no pain. The price they gave us was firm. They just came 20 min late. But everything else was great. Service: Water heater installation

Nick is truly amazing. I called Pacific Crest Plumbing for help installing a new drain assembly in my pedestal sink. It seemed like a pretty straight forward job, but I was struggling to access the pipes behind the base of the pedestal sink. I thought I was going to have to remove the pedestal sink, which was more than I wanted to take on by myself. When I called Pacific Crest, Nick let me know that he had retired but nonetheless asked me what I needed help with and told me that, because he loves plumbing, he'd be happy to answer any questions I have.
This was exactly what I needed. This is the first time I've tried to do basic plumbing, so I'm learning as I go. I've been learning from YouTube videos and online reading. Nick explained the basics of my project and helped me troubleshoot some issues, while also giving his opinion on the cost range to hire a plumber and some plumber recommendations. With the new info Nick gave me, I decided to give my project one more shot, and it worked! I got the drain installed and there doesn't appear to be leaks. Thank you, Nick! I'm beyond grateful for your help.

Second time I've used Nick to replace a hot water heater. It says a lot when you remember someone from over 10 years ago! I was so impressed with the quality of the water heater and his professional kind service that I knew I didn't want to go with anyone else when it was time to replace it again. I've always referred anyone I know to him over the years because he is the best plumber I've ever worked with.
This year we have a pandemic, fires causing massive smoke, and all kinds of crazy things in the world going on. In spite of all of this- even some of it affecting closures in supply houses, etc.- Nick was fantastic! He constantly went above and beyond to offer help and assistance during wild times. Clear communication, timely service, professional, clean, and he managed to move mountains to get me hot water this week. Thanks so much Nick! Customer for life here, I'd highly recommend this company in a heartbeat!

Nick responded to our unusual situation with confidence and professionalism that other plumbers lacked. His price was better, too! He was able to tackle our job in a short time frame and got the work done very quickly. His kindness and warm sense of humor made an unfortunate situation so much easier to tolerate. If you've got a plumbing need, Nick is definitely the guy you want working on your home.

This is the second time I've used Pacific Crest Plumbing to do work on my home built in the 1950's. My pipes started flooding my basement and with a 4 month old in the house I needed to get the job done quickly and done well. I was worried about having to wait a long time due to Covid 19, but as always, Nick was able to provide high quality work, at a great price and get here quickly (within 2 business days). He provided advice on how to stop the leakage and not cause anymore problems before he got here. I definitely plan on calling them again, when it comes time to redoing the plumbing in my home.

One of the larger and highly rated plumbers told us that we had to replace our water main at a cost of close to $4,000. Nick came out to take a look and his experience told him that the way the water meter was moving wasn't consistent with a water main leak. He fixed a small leak in our shower which fully resolved the issue. We came close to spending $4,000 on the wrong repair and Nick saved us. Nice to see a great plumber taking the interests of his customers first. Thanks Nick!

Fast, professional and informative! Nick is really the best. I've used him three times on my rental property as well as here in my home. He is always very quick to respond, offers very clear options, and always explains the best way to do things. He is clear, articulate, and very easy to work with. He definitely takes the sting out of having to deal with plumbing issues! I plan to continue to use Pacific Crest for anything and everything that deals with water!

We recently had our gas water heater spring a leak late at night. We'd had Pacific Crest Plumbing work on a bathroom addition a few years prior and have had no issues with that work, so called them up first thing in the morning to see if they could help us quickly. Nick was able to stop at the house a couple hours later after earlier appointments, and after looking at the unit and confirming its death, we talked through options and he provided a quote and the possibility of an install of a new gas unit the following morning.
He kept us aware of his arrival time the morning of the install, and the work was cleanly done. The workmanship was good and we talked through the operation afterwards. I'd definitely recommend him for any plumbing work.

Nick and his crew repiped our house last spring, added plumbing and drainage for a washer, replaced our water heater and added a water line for our refrigerator. Nick does honest, quality work for a reasonable price and like another reviewer said, will not try to up-sell you. He actually talked us out of a more expensive option too! Working with Nick and his crew is like working with family. I would absolutely love to work with him again! Stop looking for a plumber now, you've already found the best one!

I really can't recommend Pacific Crest Plumbing enough. They've been our plumbers since we bought our first home 3 years ago and have been kind, patient, and honest with us throughout every major and minor plumbing issue we've had. Nick even spent a while on the phone with me past 9pm one time when our kitchen sink started leaking into our basement and I had no idea how to stop it! (New homeowner problems.)
Most recently, we worked with Nick to replace the sump pump in our basement after a short-term renter flushed something that caused it to break.
In addition to being fast and friendly throughout the process, Nick and his wife Anna went above and beyond to write a professional statement on the issue that helped me re-coup all of the money we had to put in to fix the problem from the short term rental company. These are the kinds of family-owned small businesses I like to support and will continue to support for as long as I'm a Portland homeowner.

We had a main line break between the meter & our house at night. Nick came out the next day to look at the job, gave an estimate and came out when he got the needed supplies to fix our problem. He was honest, timely and we will call again if we need plumbing services. He helped us out about 5 years ago with a job so we called him first thing.

Nick is great. He has handled a few things for us at our house and my mother-in-law's house. He is super-timely, efficient, and gets things done. Just today he juggled his schedule to fix a shower that had blown a seal and was leaking into our basement, in time for a guest that would need to use that shower. Nick is extremely responsive and a problem solver.
