Porta Plumbing Co. HVAC has been the go-to plumbing contractor for Aloha homeowners and businesses since 2002. For more than two decades, we have handled everything from a leaking faucet to a full-building repipe, and we have built our reputation on one simple idea: show up, do the work right, and stand behind it. Whether you need a same-day drain cleaning or an emergency pipe repair at midnight, we are here and ready. Real plumbers. Real pricing. Real fast response.
Over the years, we've seen every kind of pipe and fixture, and we have been proud to see every one of them in this community. We started in Aloha in 2002 with a simple goal: give local homeowners and property managers a plumber they could count on, one who knew the neighborhood and cared about the outcome. That goal has not changed.
We built this business here, and we back every job we do.
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who know what they are doing and take the work seriously. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own. That is not something we say to fill space. It is the standard we hold ourselves to on every call, whether it is a rental property in Beaverton or a family home right here in Aloha.
Washington County has grown a lot since 2002, and so have we. We have expanded our service area and our capabilities, but the core of the business is still the same: local people doing good plumbing work for their neighbors.
Dealing with a slow drain or a sudden burst pipe? We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Aloha and the surrounding area. The scope of what we handle is wide, and that is by design. Customers should not have to call three different companies to get one plumbing problem solved.
We handle the everyday work and the bigger jobs: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, whole-home repiping, and emergency plumbing. All of it is done by licensed plumbers who follow current code and treat every property with care. One call, and a plumber is on the way.
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it is not. We clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines using the right tools for the job, including hydro jetting for stubborn buildup that a standard snake will not touch. Whether it is a single blocked sink or a main line backing up into the house, we diagnose the cause and clear it completely. This applies to both residential homes and commercial properties where a blocked drain can mean real disruption to daily operations.
No hot water is one of those problems that cannot wait. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we offer same-day service for customers who are already in the middle of a cold-shower situation. When we arrive, we assess the unit, explain what we find, and walk you through the options before any work begins. Repair when it makes sense, replace when it does not. We focus on the plumbing done right the first time, so you are not calling us back for the same problem a month later.
Hidden leaks are some of the most damaging problems a home can have, because the damage keeps building while the source stays invisible. We use proven leak detection methods to find the source, including slab leaks that are buried under concrete. Once we locate it, we repair or replace the affected pipe and test everything before we leave. Work is performed by licensed plumbers, and we do not consider the job done until the leak is gone. We'll find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we've seen it all, and some of the most common calls we get are for the everyday fixture work that makes a home function. Toilet running constantly? Faucet dripping? Garbage disposal stopped working? These are the calls we take every day, and we handle them quickly and cleanly.
We install and repair toilets, faucets, sinks, and bathroom and kitchen fixtures of all types. We replace garbage disposals, fix outdoor faucets, and swap out hose bibs that have corroded or failed. For property managers, we are a reliable resource for the kind of tenant-facing plumbing work that needs to get done fast and done right. Water-saving fixture upgrades are also a popular request in the area, and we are happy to help customers choose and install fixtures that reduce water use without sacrificing performance. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
We've handled everything from a dripping faucet to a full repipe, and some of the most important work we do falls into this category. Sewer line problems, aging pipes, and chronic low water pressure are issues that affect the whole property, and they require a plumber who knows how to assess the full picture before recommending a fix.
We handle sewer line repair and replacement, sewer line cleaning, sewer backup repair, and trenchless sewer repair where the site allows for it. On the supply side, we do whole-house repiping, pipe replacement, water pressure diagnostics, low water pressure repair, shutoff valve replacement, and pressure-regulating valve installation. We also install and service backflow preventers, which are required in many commercial settings and increasingly common in residential properties throughout Washington County.
We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch. That applies whether the job is a straightforward valve replacement or a full repipe of an older home.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and when those pipes fail, the situation can change fast. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, a major leak under the sink, or a water heater that stops working in the middle of winter are not problems that can wait until next week.
We are available around the clock for plumbing emergencies in Aloha and the surrounding communities. When you call, you reach someone who can dispatch a plumber to your address, not a recording asking you to leave a message. We show up on time and ready to work, with the tools and parts to handle the most common emergency situations on the first visit. We keep the process as calm and straightforward as possible, because a plumbing emergency is already stressful enough without added confusion about what happens next.
Affordable rates. Flexible timing. Sound pipes.
One of the most common concerns customers have before calling a plumber is not knowing what the job will cost. We take that seriously. Before any work begins, we explain what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost. There are no surprise line items added after the fact.
Whether you are a homeowner calling about a leaking pipe or a property manager getting a quote for sewer line work, you will know what to expect before we start. Call for a quote and we will walk you through the estimate clearly. Plumbing costs vary by job, and we will explain why a particular repair or replacement is priced the way it is. We want every customer to feel confident in the decision they are making, not pressured into it.
We are based in Aloha and serve customers throughout Washington County, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Tigard, and Tualatin. If you are in the area and need a plumber, there is a good chance we have already worked on a property near you.
Because we are locally based, our response times across the service area are fast. We are not dispatching from the other side of the metro. We know these neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the common plumbing issues that come up here.
We have been serving Aloha and the surrounding Washington County communities since 2002, which puts us at more than two decades in this area. We have worked on homes and commercial properties throughout the region and know the local housing stock well. That history means we recognize the common problems that come up here and know how to address them efficiently.
Yes. Many homes in Aloha and Washington County were built in eras when galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe was standard, and those materials have a limited service life. We are familiar with the aging infrastructure in this part of Oregon and regularly handle repiping, low pressure diagnostics, and leak detection in older homes where the original plumbing has reached the end of its useful life.
The plumbers who show up at your door are the same people doing the work, not subcontractors handed off from a dispatch list. All work is performed by licensed plumbers who are accountable for the job from start to finish. You are not dealing with a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces.
We serve homeowners, renters coordinating with landlords, landlords directly, property managers, and commercial clients of all sizes. We handle single-family homes, multi-unit rentals, and commercial buildings throughout Aloha and Washington County. Whatever the property type, the standard of work stays the same.
We treat punctuality as part of the job. When we give you an arrival window, we aim to be there within it. Our plumbers arrive with the tools and common parts needed for the most frequent repair and installation scenarios, which keeps the job moving without unnecessary delays.
If something we repaired or installed is not performing the way it should, call us and we will come back to assess it. We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch, and that means addressing problems that trace back to our work. We do not consider a job truly done until the customer is satisfied with the result.
Porta Plumbing Co. HVAC has spent 24 years earning the trust of homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients across Aloha and Washington County. We are locally owned, personally accountable, and ready to take your call today. Whether it is a routine repair or a plumbing emergency that cannot wait, we will send a licensed plumber who knows the work and stands behind it.
Real plumbers. Real pricing. Real fast response.

| Type of Job | What's Included | Best For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toilet Repair and Installation |
| Households or properties with a constantly running or damaged toilet | A running toilet can waste several hundred gallons a day; most repairs are straightforward and completed in a single visit |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively damaging the home or service cannot wait | We take emergency calls same-day including evenings and weekends; shut off the supply at the nearest valve while you wait |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older Washington County homes with corroded or failing original pipe | Galvanized and polybutylene pipe are common in older Aloha housing stock; repiping is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs on failing sections |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with noticeably low or inconsistent water pressure | Low pressure often has a simple cause like a failing regulator or a partially closed valve; we run through the diagnostics before recommending larger work |
| Pressure-Regulating Valve Installation |
| Homes with high incoming water pressure or frequent fixture wear | High pressure shortens the life of fixtures, supply lines, and appliances; a properly sized PRV protects the whole system |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular |
| Homeowners with an aging, leaking, or underperforming water heater | If repair costs are climbing on an older unit, replacement often costs less over the next few years; we walk you through both options honestly |
| Water-Saving Fixture Upgrades |
| Homeowners looking to reduce water bills or update aging fixtures | Oregon has strong conservation standards and Washington County water rates make low-flow upgrades a practical financial decision, not just an environmental one |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal |
| Homeowners or businesses with slow or blocked drains | Hydro jetting scours the pipe wall clean rather than just punching through a clog, reducing how quickly buildup returns |
| Leak Detection and Repair |
| Any home with unexplained water bill increases or visible moisture | We locate the source before opening anything, so repairs stay targeted and repairs to finished surfaces stay minimal |
| Tankless Water Heater Installation |
| Washington County homeowners looking to free up utility space and improve efficiency | The mild Aloha climate makes tankless units practical in locations that would not work in colder regions, and efficiency gains add up over time |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or replacing worn hardware | We handle the full installation including shutoff valve checks, so the new fixture is set up correctly from the start |
| Sewer and Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house or a sewage backup | We work the line from your home to the city connection; where trenchless repair is an option, we discuss it with you before any digging begins |
| Earthquake Gas Shutoff Valves |
| Portland metro area homeowners on a natural gas line | These valves close automatically when seismic movement exceeds a set threshold; installation is straightforward and we assess the gas line at the same time |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Age is the first thing we look at. Most tank water heaters last eight to twelve years with normal use. If yours is in that range and you are seeing rust-colored water, a leaking tank base, or a unit that takes much longer than it used to for hot water to arrive, replacement is often the better value. We diagnose the issue and give you an honest read on whether a repair makes sense or whether you would be putting money into a unit that is near the end of its life either way.
What causes drains to back up repeatedly even after they have been cleared?
A drain that clogs again quickly usually means the underlying cause was not fully addressed. Grease, soap residue, and hair build up on pipe walls over time, and a basic snake only punches through the clog rather than clearing the buildup. Hydro jetting scours the interior of the pipe and removes what is sticking to the walls. For main line backups, root intrusion is a common culprit in older neighborhoods, and a camera inspection helps us see exactly what we are dealing with before we decide on the right approach.
How do you find a leak that is not visible?
We work through the system methodically. We check water meter movement with all fixtures off, test supply lines and fittings at accessible points, and use pressure testing to isolate which section of pipe is losing water. For slab leaks, we use listening equipment and pressure isolation to narrow down the location before any concrete is touched. The goal is to locate the source accurately so we open as little as necessary to make the repair.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We take calls same-day and after hours, including evenings and weekends, because plumbing problems do not follow a Monday-through-Friday schedule. Call us and we will give you a realistic arrival window right on the phone.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
Multiple slow drains at the same time, gurgling sounds from toilets when you run water elsewhere in the house, and sewage odors coming up through floor drains are the most common signs. A single slow drain is usually a localized clog. When the problem shows up in several fixtures at once, the issue is likely further down the line. We can run a camera through the main line to see whether there is a blockage, root intrusion, a crack, or a pipe offset causing the problem.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit. Tankless units take up less space and do not run out of hot water the way a tank can during a long shower or back-to-back use, but they have a higher upfront cost and may require a gas line upgrade depending on your current setup. We walk you through both options based on your household size, your utility space, and your budget before you decide anything.
What causes low water pressure throughout the house?
The most common causes are a failing pressure-regulating valve, a partially closed main shutoff, mineral buildup inside older galvanized pipe, or a supply line issue. If the low pressure is isolated to one fixture, the problem is usually local to that fixture or its supply line. If it is throughout the house, we start with the PRV and the main shutoff and work from there. In older homes with original galvanized pipe, the interior corrosion can restrict flow significantly, and repiping becomes the long-term fix.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
Before any work begins, we tell you what we found, what the job involves, and what it will cost. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no line items added after the fact.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
For most repair and installation work, yes, someone needs to be on site to provide access and to make decisions about the work if anything unexpected comes up. If you are a landlord or property manager and cannot be there yourself, we can coordinate with a tenant or a designated contact as long as we have clear access and someone who can authorize the work. Let us know the situation when you call and we will figure out the best approach.
How does your pricing work and when do I find out what the job will cost?
We give you a quote before any work begins. When we arrive, we assess the situation, explain what we find, and tell you what the job involves and what it will cost. You decide whether to proceed. There are no surprise line items added after the fact. For larger projects like repiping or sewer line replacement, we walk through the full scope and cost during the estimate conversation so you have a complete picture before committing.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who follow current Oregon code, so the work is done correctly and holds up to inspection.
When does a plumbing problem need a professional rather than a DIY fix?
Simple things like replacing a showerhead or a toilet flapper are reasonable DIY tasks. Once you are dealing with anything behind the wall, under a slab, in the main line, or involving the gas supply, the risk of making the problem worse goes up quickly. Leak detection, sewer line work, water heater replacement, and repiping all require the right tools and knowledge of Oregon code to do correctly. We are happy to talk through what you are seeing on the phone so you can decide whether it is something you can handle or whether a plumber should take a look.
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most whole-home repiping jobs in a single-family residence take one to three days depending on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, and how accessible the existing pipe runs are. We give you a realistic time estimate during the assessment. In most cases the water is off only during active work, and we restore service at the end of each day when a multi-day job is involved. We walk you through what to expect before we start.
What should I do if a pipe bursts or a major leak starts?
Shut off the water supply to the affected area if you can reach the shutoff valve safely. If the leak is serious or you cannot isolate it, shut off the main supply at the meter. Move anything nearby that could be damaged by water, then call us. We take emergency calls same-day including evenings and weekends, and we will get a licensed plumber headed to you as quickly as possible. The sooner the water is off, the less damage you are dealing with afterward.
Call (971) 525-1995 and tell us what is going on; we will give you a straight answer and let you know when we can get a plumber to you.
