Aloha Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing work across Aloha and the wider Washington County area. Whether you own a home, manage a rental portfolio, run a multi-unit building, or operate a commercial space, we cover the full range of plumbing repair and installation from a single call. We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way, and knowing which material is in the ground changes how the job gets done. That knowledge shapes every visit we make. We are a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who want the work scoped and priced before anything is scheduled.

Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.
For busy homeowners and property managers, a single point of contact for all plumbing work makes a real difference. We handle kitchens, bathrooms, crawlspaces, basements, rental units, and office spaces. Diagnostic and inspection visits are part of what we do, and the price is confirmed before work is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the job covers before anyone picks up a wrench. Give us a call and we will take it from there.
Slow drains, standing water, and repeated backups are the calls we get most often. We clear blockages in sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, and main lines. For stubborn or recurring clogs, hydro jetting pushes through buildup that a standard snake will not reach. We handle residential drain cleaning and commercial drain service alike, and the work covers the full line from the fixture down to the main.
What sets this plumbing service apart is straightforward: we find the source before we recommend a fix. Pressure testing lets us confirm where a supply line is failing without tearing into walls unnecessarily. Once the location is confirmed, we repair or replace the affected section. For emergency situations, burst pipes and major leaks included, we take short-notice calls every day within our service hours. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done.
We service both tank and tankless water heaters, residential and commercial. When a unit stops producing hot water, we diagnose the fault first: a failed element, a faulty thermostat, a sediment problem, or a unit that has reached the end of its service life. If the unit needs replacing, we handle the full installation, including the gas line connection to the appliance where that is part of the scope. Tankless installations and hot-water recirculation pump work are also part of what we do.
Not every plumber works the same way, and our approach here is to diagnose before recommending. A running toilet, a dripping faucet, a showerhead that has lost pressure, a tub fixture that no longer seals: each one gets looked at on its own terms. We handle the full range, from repair through replacement, and we give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. If a part can be replaced rather than the whole fixture, that is what we will tell you.
These are the calls that do not make headlines but stop a kitchen or a laundry room cold. Garbage disposals jam, hum without spinning, or fail outright, and we handle repair and replacement. Shutoff valves wear out at the fixture or at the main, and a valve that will not close fully is a liability on any property. Water pressure problems, whether low pressure throughout the house or a regulator that needs replacing, get diagnosed at the source. Outdoor faucets and hose bibs are worth attention in the Pacific Northwest, where wet seasons put real wear on exterior plumbing.
The homes and pipes in this area have their own history, and sewer lines are where that history shows up most clearly. We clear, repair, and replace the line from the house to the city connection. We do not work on the tank or the drain field, only the line. Sump pumps are a practical necessity in Washington County's wet climate, and we handle installation, repair, and replacement. Backflow prevention, both installation and repair, is also part of what we cover. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the pipes.
The housing stock in Aloha and the surrounding Washington County area creates specific plumbing demands. Around a quarter of the homes here predate 1951, which means galvanized steel supply lines and original clay or cast-iron sewer lines are still in the ground under a significant number of properties. Most homes sit over a vented crawlspace rather than a slab or a basement, so supply and drain lines run in outdoor air. A cold snap does damage here out of proportion to how cold it actually gets, because those lines have no insulation buffer. The two services below come up more often in this area than anywhere else we work.
Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way, and in Aloha's older housing stock, galvanized steel is the material most likely to be the problem. Galvanized lines corrode from the inside out. The first signs are discolored water, recurring leaks at joints, and low pressure that gets worse over time as the interior diameter narrows with rust buildup. When those symptoms appear throughout the house rather than at a single fixture, repiping is the repair that actually solves the problem. We replace aging supply lines with modern materials, and the crawlspace access common to homes in this area makes that work reachable without major demolition. A quote covers the scope of the job and what the work involves before anything is scheduled.
Established Aloha neighborhoods carry mature landscaping, paved driveways, and original sewer lines that are now sixty or more years old. Clay and cast-iron lines crack, root-intrude, and collapse, and the traditional fix means digging up the yard to reach them. Trenchless replacement changes that. We inspect the line first to confirm the condition and the method, then replace the deteriorated pipe from access points at each end rather than excavating the full run. The yard stays intact. The line gets replaced.

Residential plumbing covers everything from a single bathroom repair to a full kitchen remodel, a repiping project, or a water heater replacement before winter. We work in occupied homes, renovation projects, and new construction alike. The scope of the visit and the price are both confirmed before the work starts.
For property managers, landlords, and commercial clients, the priority is keeping units and spaces functional with as little disruption as possible. We handle multi-unit buildings, office spaces, retail locations, and rental properties across Aloha and Washington County. A property manager dealing with a sewer backup in a tenant unit or a commercial kitchen with a failed disposal gets the same process: describe the situation on the call, get a price, and get it on the schedule. Give us a call and we will take it from there.
A burst pipe, a major leak, no hot water, a backed-up main line, a flooded basement: these are the calls that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. We take short-notice and emergency calls every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM, weekends included. When you call, describe what is happening and we will scope the job and confirm the price on that call before anyone is dispatched.
We answer the phone. We get the visit booked. We keep it simple.

The homes and pipes in this area have their own history, and every job is a little different, so pricing is confirmed on the call rather than published as a flat figure. When you call, describe what you are dealing with: no hot water, a slow drain, a leak you cannot locate, a sewer backup, a water heater that needs replacing. We scope the job on that call and give you a price before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you can decide whether to move forward before any work begins.
Common questions we hear involve the cost of water heater replacement, drain cleaning, leak repair, sewer line work, and repiping. All of those get answered the same way: call in, describe the situation, and you get a straight answer on what the job involves and what it costs. Give us a call and we will take it from there.

If you are in the area and need a plumber, call (971) 525-1995 and we will confirm coverage on the call.
We take short-notice and emergency calls every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM, weekends included. A burst pipe, a major leak, a sewer backup, or a sudden loss of hot water are all situations where we take the call and scope the job on the phone before the visit is arranged.
Call (971) 525-1995 and describe what is happening.
If you have a burst pipe or a major active leak, locate the main water shutoff and turn it off to stop the flow. For a sewer backup, stop using fixtures connected to the backed-up line. Do not pour drain chemicals into a blocked line, as that can complicate the repair and damage the pipe. When you call, we will walk you through any steps specific to your situation.
Whole-home repiping replaces the supply lines throughout the property with modern materials, which resolves recurring leaks, low pressure, and discolored water that keep coming back because the original pipe is corroding from the inside. In Aloha, galvanized steel lines are common in homes built before 1951, and those lines tend to show those symptoms as they near the end of their service life. We scope the job on the call and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. Crawlspace access, which is standard in many homes in this area, makes the work reachable without major demolition.
Trenchless replacement repairs or replaces the sewer line from the house to the city connection without excavating the full run of the yard. It is the right option when the line is cracked, root-intruded, or collapsed but the surface above it, whether that is a driveway, landscaping, or a paved area, is worth preserving. We inspect the line with a camera first to confirm the condition and whether the method applies to your situation.
Low pressure throughout the house usually points to one of a few causes: a failing pressure-regulating valve, a partially closed shutoff, mineral or rust buildup narrowing the interior of older pipes, or a supply line leak. In homes with galvanized steel lines, pressure that has gotten gradually worse over time often means the pipe interior is corroding. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, so the repair addresses the actual problem rather than the symptom.
A clog in a single fixture, one sink or one tub, usually points to a blockage in that drain line. When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes water to come up in a nearby tub, the problem is likely in the main sewer line. We diagnose where the blockage is before clearing it, so the work is targeted at the right section of the line.
Tree roots seek out moisture and can enter clay or cast-iron sewer lines through joints and cracks, then grow to fill the pipe over time. Buildup from grease, scale, and debris accumulates in the same way, narrowing the line until flow is restricted or stopped. Older homes in established Aloha neighborhoods are particularly susceptible because the pipe materials and the tree canopy have both had decades to develop. A camera inspection shows exactly what the line looks like before any repair is planned.
The most common causes are sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank reducing effective capacity, a failing heating element in an electric unit, or a thermostat that is no longer reading accurately. In some cases, household demand has simply outgrown the unit's capacity. We diagnose the fault first before recommending repair or replacement, and if the unit needs replacing, we walk through the options on the call.
A pipe repair addresses a single failure point: a cracked section, a leaking joint, a corroded fitting. Repiping replaces the supply lines throughout the property, which makes sense when failures are appearing in multiple locations over a short period or when the pipe material itself is the underlying problem. We scope the situation on the call and give an honest recommendation on which approach fits the job.
A running toilet usually makes a faint hissing or trickling sound, or the tank refills on its own between uses. A leaking toilet may show water on the floor at the base or a slow seep that stains the bowl. A toilet that runs continuously can waste a significant volume of water every day, which shows up on the water bill before most homeowners notice the sound. We repair or replace the affected components and confirm the fix before the visit ends.
Galvanized steel was the standard for supply lines in homes built before roughly 1951, and it corrodes from the inside over time, causing low pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks. Cast-iron drain lines from the same era are durable but can crack or shift with age. Polybutylene, used in some homes built between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, is prone to failure at fittings and is worth having assessed if your home was built in that window. We identify what is in the ground before recommending a repair or a repipe.
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM for plumbing repair, installation, and emergency service across Aloha and Washington County. Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.

Every plumbing job starts with understanding what is actually wrong before anything is opened up or replaced. We scope the work on the call, confirm the price before the visit is scheduled, and carry the job through to a tested result. The table below covers the full range of work we handle across Aloha and Washington County, so you can find what you need and call with a clear picture of what to expect.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tankless Water Heater Installation | Unit sizing for household demand, Gas or electric connection, Venting and code requirements, Existing system removal | Homeowners replacing a tank unit who want on-demand hot water and a smaller footprint | Tankless units require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity. We confirm what the existing setup can support before recommending a unit size |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Major active leak control, Sewer backup service, Sudden loss of hot water | Any situation where water is actively damaging the property or a system has failed without warning | We take short-notice calls every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM. The job is scoped and priced on the call before anyone is dispatched |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Main line clearing and snaking, Camera inspection of the line, Root intrusion removal, Line repair and replacement | Multiple fixtures backing up, slow drains throughout the house, or a gurgling sound when flushing | Clay and cast-iron lines in older Aloha homes are prone to root intrusion and cracking. A camera inspection shows exactly what the line looks like before any repair is planned |
| Hot-Water Recirculation Pumps | Pump installation on existing water heater, Dedicated return line work where needed, Timer and sensor setup, Diagnosis of slow hot-water delivery | Homes where hot water takes a long time to reach fixtures at the far end of the supply line | A recirculation pump is often a practical addition when a tankless water heater is installed in a larger home |
| Pressure-Regulating Valve Installation | PRV sizing and selection, Main line installation, Pressure testing before and after, Shutoff valve coordination | Homes with high incoming street pressure, banging pipes, or fixtures that wear out faster than they should | Street pressure in parts of Washington County can run higher than most fixtures and appliances are rated for. A PRV protects the whole system |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Jam clearing and reset, Motor and switch diagnosis, Full disposal replacement, Drain connection and seal check | A disposal that hums but will not spin, trips the reset repeatedly, or has failed outright | A disposal that leaks at the sink flange or drain connection is often a seal repair rather than a full replacement |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | Tank and tankless units, Element and thermostat diagnosis, Full unit replacement, Gas line connection to the appliance | No hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or a unit nearing the end of its service life | We diagnose the fault first. A failing element or thermostat is a repair. A unit with sediment damage or age-related failure is a replacement conversation |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running or leaking toilet repair, Fill valve and flapper replacement, Full toilet replacement, Wax ring and supply line work | A toilet that runs constantly, leaks at the base, or needs replacing as part of a bathroom update | A toilet that runs between flushes can waste a significant volume of water daily before most homeowners notice the sound on the bill |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Sink, tub, and shower drains, Toilet and floor drain clearing, Main line blockages, Hydro jetting for stubborn buildup | Slow drains, standing water, or repeated backups in one or multiple fixtures | When more than one fixture backs up at the same time, the problem is usually in the main line rather than the individual drain |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing to locate the source, Supply line and joint repair, Wall and crawlspace leaks, Burst pipe response | Unexplained water bills, water stains, or a leak you can hear but cannot find | Pressure testing confirms the location before any wall or floor surface is opened, which keeps the repair targeted |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Pressure-regulating valve diagnosis and replacement, Whole-house and fixture shutoff valve repair, Outdoor faucet and hose bib service, Pressure testing | Low pressure throughout the house, a valve that will not close fully, or a hose bib that leaks | A shutoff valve that will not close is a liability on any property.

| Whole-Home Repiping | Galvanized and aging supply line replacement, PEX or copper installation throughout, Crawlspace and wall access, Pressure testing after completion | Homes with recurring leaks, discolored water, or progressively worsening pressure across multiple fixtures | Crawlspace access, which is standard in many Aloha homes, makes the supply lines reachable without major demolition |
| Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement | Camera inspection to confirm condition, Pipe lining or pipe bursting method, Access-point entry without full excavation, Final camera verification | Cracked, root-intruded, or collapsed sewer lines where the yard, driveway, or landscaping is worth preserving | We inspect the line first to confirm whether the method applies. Not every line is a candidate, and we say so before any work is planned |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Dripping faucet repair, Showerhead and tub fixture work, Full fixture replacement, Supply stop and valve work | A dripping faucet, a fixture that has lost pressure, or a bathroom or kitchen update | We give honest recommendations on whether a part can be replaced rather than the whole fixture, and we tell you which option makes more sense for the situation |
What are the signs that a water heater needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Age is the first factor. A tank unit that is showing signs of trouble after many years of service is often closer to the end than a repair will address. Beyond age, rust-colored water from the hot faucet, a rumbling or popping sound during heating, visible corrosion on the tank body, or water pooling at the base all point toward replacement rather than a component fix. A failing element or thermostat is a repair. A tank that is corroding from the inside is not. We diagnose the fault on the visit and give a straight answer on which path makes sense.
What causes drains to back up repeatedly even after they have been cleared?
A drain that clears and then backs up again usually has a structural problem behind it. In older Aloha homes, that is often buildup on the interior wall of an aging pipe, a partial root intrusion that a snake passes through but does not remove, or a low spot in the line where debris collects. Hydro jetting clears the buildup that a standard snake pushes past rather than removes. A camera inspection shows whether there is a structural issue driving the repeat calls.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We diagnose before we recommend. Whether the call is about low pressure, no hot water, or a recurring clog, we find the source first and tell you what it is before any repair is proposed.
What does hydro jetting clear that snaking cannot?
A drain snake breaks through a blockage and creates a path for water to flow, but it does not clean the pipe wall. Grease, scale, and mineral buildup that coats the interior of the line stays in place and narrows over time. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the pipe wall from the inside, which removes the buildup rather than just punching through it. For commercial kitchens, older drain lines, and any situation where a clog keeps coming back, hydro jetting addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing into walls?
Pressure testing is the first step. We isolate sections of the supply system and monitor whether pressure holds or drops, which tells us whether a leak is active and roughly where in the system it is. From there, the approach depends on what the pressure test shows. In many cases, we can confirm the location without opening a wall at all. When access is needed, we open the smallest area that gives us what we need and work from there.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater, and which is right for my home?
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, so there is no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units are a practical choice for households that run out of hot water during peak use or want a smaller footprint. They require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity, and we confirm what the existing setup can support before recommending a unit. For some homes, a tank replacement is the straightforward answer. For others, the switch to tankless makes sense. We give a straight recommendation based on the situation.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
Galvanized steel, cast iron, copper, PEX, and polybutylene all show up in Washington County homes. We identify what is in the ground and work with it rather than applying a one-size approach.
Do I need to be home when the plumbing work is done?
For most jobs, someone needs to be present to provide access and to confirm the scope and the price before work begins. For rental properties and commercial spaces, a property manager or a designated contact who can make decisions about the work is the practical alternative to the owner being on site. We confirm the access arrangement on the call when the visit is scheduled.
How do I know if my sewer line has a problem that needs attention?
The clearest signs are multiple fixtures backing up at the same time, a gurgling sound from a toilet or drain when another fixture is used, slow drains throughout the house rather than at a single fixture, or sewage odor coming from a drain. In older Aloha neighborhoods, clay and cast-iron sewer lines have had decades to develop cracks and root intrusion, and those problems do not resolve on their own. A camera inspection of the line gives a clear picture of what is happening before any repair is planned.
What happens when a sump pump fails, and how is it addressed?
A sump pump that fails during a wet Pacific Northwest season can let a crawlspace or basement take on water quickly. The most common causes are a burned-out motor, a stuck float switch, or a pump that has reached the end of its service life. We diagnose whether the unit can be repaired or needs replacing, and we handle the installation of the replacement unit. If the pit or the discharge line is part of the problem, that is part of the scope.
Scope Agreed Before Any Pipe Is Cut
The price and the scope are both confirmed before work begins. You know what the job covers and what it costs before anyone picks up a wrench.
When does a frozen or burst pipe call for a plumber rather than a DIY fix?
A pipe that has burst is a plumber call. Once the pipe wall has failed, the repair involves cutting out the damaged section and replacing it, which requires the right tools and materials to do correctly. A frozen pipe that has not yet burst is a situation where shutting off the water at the main and thawing carefully can sometimes be managed without a service call, but if there is any doubt about whether the pipe has cracked, or if the frozen section is inside a wall or under the floor, call us first. We can scope the situation on the phone before the visit is arranged.
How long does a whole-home repipe typically take?
The timeline depends on the size of the home, the pipe material being replaced, and how accessible the lines are. Crawlspace access, which is common in Aloha homes, makes the work reachable without major demolition and generally keeps the job on the shorter end. A single-story home with good crawlspace access is often a one to two day job. A larger or more complex property takes longer. We give a realistic timeline on the call when the scope is confirmed, so you know what to plan for before the work starts.
