When critical leaks and backups strike, our expert team provides rapid, commercial-grade plumbing solutions to protect your home day or night.
A sudden burst pipe, a severe sewer backup, or a failing water heater can cause significant water damage to your property in a matter of minutes. At Lovett Plumbing, we bring high-level technical proficiency and specialized equipment typically reserved for large-scale commercial environments directly to your residential emergency. We know that when water is actively pouring into your living room or sewage is backing up into your basement, every single minute counts.
When you are dealing with a crisis and need reliable emergency plumbing repair near you, our dispatch team is ready to help. We address critical situations immediately across Portland, Beaverton, Eugene, Vancouver, WA, and surrounding communities. From aggressive leak detection to professional drain cleaning and trenchless pipe repair, our focus is on mitigating water damage and securing your plumbing system. We prioritize clear communication throughout the repair so you know exactly what it takes to resolve the issue permanently.
We approach every after-hours call with the same rigorous standards we apply to our daytime operations. You will never get a temporary patch that fails a week later. Instead, our emergency plumbers diagnose the root cause and implement durable repairs backed by our 1-year warranty.
Plumbing systems can fail in a variety of ways. Our technicians handle the full spectrum of urgent residential and commercial plumbing failures.
Freezing winter temperatures in the PNW frequently lead to expanded, ruptured pipes. A burst water line can release hundreds of gallons of water into your walls or floors. Our team arrives quickly to shut off the water supply, pinpoint the exact location of the failure using advanced leak detection equipment, and perform targeted repiping using high-quality materials like PEX and Type L copper.
When toilets overflow or water backs up into your bathtubs, you are likely dealing with a main sewer line blockage. Raw sewage poses severe health risks and requires immediate professional intervention. We utilize professional drain cleaning equipment, video sewer inspection cameras, and hydro jetting units to break through dense blockages, tree roots, and grease buildup safely. If the pipe is compromised, we offer party sewer line separation and trenchless pipe repair to restore flow without tearing up your yard.
A ruptured water heater tank will rapidly flood your utility room or basement. Even a non-leaking heater that suddenly stops producing hot water constitutes an emergency for busy households and small businesses. We provide comprehensive water heater services to repair broken heating elements, replace faulty valves, or safely drain and replace fully compromised tanks before they cause structural damage to your home.
Heavy seasonal rains are a constant reality in Oregon and Washington. If your basement relies on a sump pump system, a mechanical failure during a storm will result in fast-rising floodwaters. Our 24 hour plumbers repair stalled motors, clear blocked discharge lines, and install reliable replacements to keep your lower levels completely dry.

We maintain fully stocked service vehicles ready to dispatch to your location across the Portland metro and beyond.
Decades of Proven Experience: Serving the PNW since 1997, our technicians have encountered and resolved nearly every type of plumbing emergency imaginable. We do not guess at the problem. We use our 27+ years of diagnostic experience to find the root cause, ensuring the repair we perform actually prevents the issue from happening again.
Commercial-Grade Precision: We apply the same specialized equipment used in multifamily and commercial environments to ensure your home's plumbing is thoroughly restored. Rather than just clearing a drain with a standard cable, we deploy high-pressure hydro jetting and high-resolution video sewer inspections to clean pipes to their original diameter and verify the structural integrity of your lines.
Guaranteed 5-Star Service: We stand behind our emergency repairs with a full 1-year warranty. Our goal is to provide 5-star service 100% of the time, treating your property with the utmost respect.

Knowing what to expect can significantly reduce the anxiety of an active plumbing crisis. Here is exactly how we handle your emergency call from start to finish.
When you call our emergency line at 503.737.8423, we gather critical details about your situation. Our dispatchers will instruct you on how to turn off your main water valve to minimize immediate damage while we route an expert emergency plumber to your property.
Upon arrival, our immediate priority is to stop the flow of water or sewage. We isolate the compromised area, secure the surrounding space, and prevent any further damage to your home.
Once the immediate flooding is stopped, we use advanced tools to identify the exact cause of the failure. Whether that requires cutting into drywall to access a leaking pipe or sending a camera down your main line, we locate the problem. We then present you with clear options and perform a precise, durable repair to restore your system's functionality.
Before we leave, we test the repaired fixture, valve, or pipe extensively under full pressure to ensure the issue is completely resolved. We provide a clear explanation of the work completed and document the repair, which is fully covered by our 1-year warranty.
Don't wait while water damage spreads.

We had an emergency last night at our community. I called Lovett and got an actual person on the phone right away. The plumber Sarah showed up in short order with a fantastic can do attitude, ready to get to work right away. The drain proved to be a significant challenge to clear but Sarah was bound and determined to clear it for our residents. She was there for hours and would not quit or give up! She even had to leave to grab more equipment and came back working late into the night. She was very thorough and unwavering in her commitment to get the job done. Lovett hires only the best of the best! I would recommend this company to anyone who wants the job done right and right away! I Lovett!!!

Dan from Gladstone was prompt, courteous, and thorough in diagnosing our plumbing issues and finding a good solution. He was experienced and knowledgeable and offered good advice for maintaining our bath/shower plumbing going forward.

Brandon was a lifesaver. In just two hours, he figured out what our rental maintenance team and another contractor couldn't—the leak was coming from upstairs. He didn't stop there either. He cleaned up the mess left behind, helped reduce the active leaking, and made sure everything was handled as well as possible on our end.

Right before Christmas, we discovered a leaking water main when our water bill was more than 3x the same period last year. On short notice, Lovett was able to get Doug out to make an initial assessment, then Brian got me an estimate without delay. Foreman Steven showed up Monday morning and was able to head off potential delays by thinking creatively. He set things up nicely so that we had water running again by late Tuesday morning!

Lovett was dispatched to fix a leaky bathtub faucet in our rental home, and the service I received was top notch! Jill reached out to me quickly and was able to schedule us for the next day. Our plumber Cameron was friendly, gave us heads-up when he would be here so I could secure our furry friends, and was able to resolve the issue no problem! I definitely would recommend Lovett for your plumbing needs.

I had a kitchen sink issue. Lovett came out, and Greg was my tech. Very smart and informative. He was efficient and clean. He answered questions. And my sink was cleared up in an hour. I was so thankful for the service and reasonable price. I will use them again for any bigger projects that might come my way. I recommend this Company fully.

I hadn't lived in my new place for ten days when a pipe broke. Dan came first thing the next morning, cut a 5x10 hole in the wall and capped off the pipe - problem solved! He also took the time to turn down the heat on my hot water heater, and explain the plumbing system to me. I wish I could give him another star.

I had a major issue with my well system and was completely without water. After calling many companies who all said they couldn't help, I reached Ken Williams at Lovett. Ken was immediately attentive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped me troubleshoot the problem and quickly got their equipment scheduled and out here to get the repair underway. His professionalism and genuine care made all the difference.

Tyler came out today to inspect/replace my garbage disposal and it was such a great experience! He made the interaction very personable. He also explained different things about the process along the way and I really appreciated that along with how clean he was. He wore shoe covers and completely cleaned up the underneath of my sink as well as the yuckies in the bottom of my sink. Overall, I highly recommend!!
