Signature Plumbing Services, LLC is an established business in the Portland metro area. The company strives for more than just the purpose of making a profit. More specifically, it is the intention of SPS to donate a percentage of its profits to local animal rescue foundations. Additionally, SPS will accommodate the service needs of the elderly with discounted pricing. The owner believes in top notch customer service, whereby the customer is able to ask questions and get answers, understand the process up front, participate in decisions, and not be hit by unexpected surprises and charges. By engaging in community reciprocity, SPS will bring accessible and affordable service, public awareness, and grass roots integrity back to the forefront of the plumbing service industry.

"If you need a garbage disposal installed then by all means use David (fyi there are no other employees). However, I paid $150 an hour for David to learn how to install shower hardware/plumbing and toilets in four bathrooms as he has ZERO knowledge of anything outside of your run of the mill Home Depot Kohler or Moen fixtures. Several times I had the saleslady from the hardware store on the phone with David explaining how the pieces went together. In the end I had to finally find another plumber as he was just eating up time at $150 and hour. Oh, and yesterday the new plumber discovered that he installed one of the toilets incorrectly and it leaked and warped the wood floors. I emailed this to David who of course said it could never have been his fault. AVOID"

"After getting several bids for the project of repiping our home we decided that the bid by Repipe Specialists best fit our needs and budget. I am thankful we chose them for the job. They were professional from start to finish. They stuck to the timeline and dates agreed to, except to call us and ask if we would like the drywallers to come a day earlier than planned since they happened to have an earlier opening. The repipers were in and out in one day, leaving us with cleaner healthier water, and less wait time for the water from our hot water heater to reach the bathroom. We have better water pressure as well. Since we had them run a pipe from the city source as well as the inside of our house, there was a small hole around the water meter that had to be filled once the inspector had come out, that was the only part of the job that was left to us and took all of five minutes to do. The drywallers did a great job, were prompt, professional, and got the job done quickly. If I were in need of repiping a home again I would use Repipe Specialists again. I highly recommend them."

We are a family owned and operated business with wide ranging plumbing expertise. Founded in 2002, we use modern plumbing techniques to protect and upgrade all kinds of property investments. Do you have a leaky faucet? We can fix it, no problem. But if that leaky faucet is out of style and aging, we can replace it with brilliant new models that will liven up any kitchen or bathroom. We do everything from the basic to the extraordinary with our ability to do plumbing, going deep into your drain system, upgrading water heaters, and keeping your appliances and connections in excellent condition. We are based a few minutes from Downtown Portland Oregon. However, we cover the greater metro area and outlying communities. What is an outlying area? Give us a call and we'll discuss any distance issue you feel you may have. Formerly All In One Plumbing

"They installed our toilet in 2020. We then rented our home out. Now in 2023 we move back in to find sewage dripping in our crawlspace. Upon investigation, it’s coming from the O ring of toilet. They put a plastic ring on with no seal under. Not only is there sewage in crawlspace, but our subfloor is crumbling. This is an astronomical expense. We had them also relocate a water shutoff valve in crawlspace. On inspection, they used amateurish shark bites on all connections, leaving us prone to major leaks. The contractor who fixed everything asked us if it was a diy job. They were shocked to find out we paid and hired this work out to a professional."

"For no more than $100 in parts plus seven hours of labor for two employees, I was charged $3,000. That is $429/hr combined or $214/employee. And that was AFTER I complained about the original $5,700 they originally wanted to justify and charge for the work performed (moving drain and supply lines and installing a shower valve for a master bath remodel). At least the quality of work seemed satisfactory. Reflecting on our extensive 2020 remodel, our experience with Sarkinen Plumbing was the worst! I do not plan to use this company again nor recommend them to others."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.
