Gene's Plumbing handles emergency plumbing across Hillsboro and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Burst supply lines, sewage coming up a floor drain and a water heater that let go are the three calls that cannot wait until Monday in Hillsboro. All three are answered the same night.
Every house handles emergency plumbing a little differently depending on its age, and Hillsboro has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Hillsboro truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The emergency plumbing job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
Common questions, answered plainly.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your emergency plumbing job in Hillsboro before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Anything actively leaking or backing up is treated as same-day in Hillsboro. Scheduled emergency plumbing work is usually booked within two or three business days.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the emergency plumbing job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Hillsboro work is done.
You get a straight answer on that. Plenty of Hillsboro customers are told their emergency plumbing situation can reasonably wait a season, and plenty are told it cannot. The diagnosis decides it, not the sales value.
Real reviews from real service calls.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Called about a leak under the kitchen sink and it turned out to be the dishwasher hose. They told me that, tightened it, and did not charge me for a plumbing repair I did not need."
"Main water line between the meter and the house had been leaking into the yard for months. They trenched it, replaced it, and put the sod back better than it was before."
