Restore your home's plumbing with commercial-grade drain cleaning and fast clogged drain repair, trusted across the PNW since 1997.
A slow or completely blocked drain is more than a daily nuisance; left untreated, it can lead to standing water, unpleasant odors, and severe damage to your entire plumbing system. Older homes across Portland and the surrounding Pacific Northwest communities often feature aging pipe materials like cast iron or galvanized steel, which are particularly susceptible to scale buildup, tree root intrusion, and stubborn blockages. Lovett Plumbing brings high-level technical proficiency directly to residential properties, using specialized equipment to clear these resilient blockages safely and effectively.
Whether you are dealing with a heavily backed-up bathroom sink or require comprehensive main sewer line drain cleaning, our team delivers efficient results paired with clear communication from start to finish. We do not believe in temporary fixes or quick patches. Instead, we apply the exact same rigorous standards, commercial-grade equipment, and professional accountability used in large-scale commercial and multifamily environments directly to your home.
Since 1997, homeowners throughout the Pacific Northwest have relied on our expert technicians for dependable clogged drain repair. We focus on fully diagnosing and resolving the root cause of your drainage issue, ensuring absolute peace of mind for you and long-term protection for your property.
Drainage issues rarely happen in isolation. Our technicians are equipped to handle blockages across your entire plumbing footprint, ensuring water flows exactly where it needs to go.
Daily use subjects your kitchen sinks, bathroom tubs, and floor drains to a continuous stream of soap scum, hair, and cooking grease. Over time, these materials congeal into dense blockages that standard plungers simply cannot remove. Our technicians perform fast, targeted clogged drain repair to remove these localized obstructions without damaging the trap or the surrounding fixture hardware.
When multiple fixtures back up simultaneously, or if water pooling occurs in your basement or yard, the issue often lies deep within your main sewer line. Main lines in the PNW are highly vulnerable to intrusive tree roots and shifting soil. We provide heavy-duty main sewer line drain cleaning to cut through roots, massive sludge buildups, and structural blockages, restoring the primary exit route for your home's wastewater.
For extreme scenarios where standard snaking is insufficient, we leverage advanced techniques available within our full service lineup. This includes high-pressure hydro jetting to scour the interior walls of your pipes and video sewer inspections to pinpoint the exact location and nature of hidden clogs.
Routine clearing and professional attention do more than just get the water flowing again. Choosing Lovett Plumbing for your home's drain maintenance provides long-term protection and stability for your entire plumbing infrastructure.
Prevents Severe Blockages and Backups: We remove hardened scale, dense grease, and trapped hair buildup long before it causes a complete system failure or a hazardous sewage backup inside your home.
Protects Your Pipes from Chemical Damage: Professional clearing completely eliminates the need for harsh over-the-counter chemical cleaners. These corrosive liquids generate intense heat that can warp PVC and severely degrade older cast iron and galvanized pipes.
Improves Drainage Speed and Efficiency: By thoroughly clearing the inner walls of your pipes, we restore your sinks, tubs, and floor drains to their original, optimal flow rates.
Identifies Hidden Plumbing Issues Early: Because our technicians operate with professional accountability, we carefully observe the condition of your plumbing during the cleaning process. We can spot potential vulnerabilities, like micro-cracks or pipe bellies, saving you from catastrophic future emergency repairs.
One of the defining differences at Lovett Plumbing is our equipment standard. The average hardware store drain snake is often too short and too weak to break through compacted organic material or dense tree roots.
We utilize commercial-grade motorized augers equipped with specialized cutting heads designed for specific pipe diameters and blockage types. For heavy grease or scale, our hydro jetting systems deliver highly pressurized water to physically strip away years of buildup, returning the pipe to a near-new condition. By bringing multifamily and commercial plumbing technology to the residential sector, we resolve clogs in a fraction of the time with significantly higher success rates.
We believe that providing 5-star service means eliminating surprises. Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and respectful of your home.
Our trained technicians arrive promptly to inspect the affected drains and discuss the symptoms you have observed. We assess the severity and location of the clog to determine the safest and most effective method for removal. If necessary, we may utilize video sewer camera inspection tools to look directly inside the pipe and verify the exact nature of the blockage.
Using our commercial-grade plumbing equipment, we perform the necessary clogged drain repair. Depending on the blockage material and the age of your plumbing, we utilize advanced snaking, root-cutting heads, or specialized high-pressure tools to thoroughly clear the pipe without causing any stress or damage to your residential plumbing structure.
After the blockage is entirely removed, we run substantial volumes of water through the system to ensure optimal flow and verify that the line is completely clear. We maintain our strict 5-star service standards by leaving our work area spotless, removing any debris, and clearly communicating the final results directly to you.

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!!
