I am so grateful for the team at PDX Plumber! They seamlessly got me scheduled and had a tech out the same day to fix my problem! We had a leaky faucet, and the knowledgeable plumber also suggested a water filtration system for my kitchen sink! I love it! They provide the best service and guarentee their work!

Nolan from PDX Plumber was awesome. Came out for a leak we had been informed of by others working on our crawlspace. He came out, answered a ton of questions from us, walked us through what he found and advised us on certain things he saw throughout the home. Work was thorough, done extremely well and quickly. Would hire again.
