FAQs
What does it mean that your plumbers are background-checked?
Every technician on our Hillsboro plumbing team passes a national criminal history screening, motor-vehicle record review, and employment verification before they ever enter a customer’s home. We partner with a third-party security firm to run the checks and repeat the process annually. This ensures that anyone wearing our uniform has a clean record, a proven work history, and the professionalism our customers expect.
Why should I choose a background-checked plumber in Hillsboro?
Inviting a plumber into your home means trusting them around your family and belongings. A background-checked plumber removes the uncertainty by confirming the technician has no history of theft, violence, or fraud. In addition, background-checked plumbers often work for companies that emphasize training and accountability, which translates to better workmanship, clearer communication, and a safer overall service experience.
What plumbing services do your background-checked plumbers provide in Hillsboro?
Our certified team handles everything from routine maintenance to 24/7 emergency repairs, including: • Water heater installation and repair (tank and tankless) • Drain cleaning and hydro-jetting • Leak detection and pipe repair • Fixture installation (faucets, toilets, showers) • Sewer line inspection and replacement • Water pressure and filtration solutions • New construction and remodel rough-ins. Because every plumber is cross-trained, you receive a complete solution on the first visit whenever possible.
Are your background-checked plumbers licensed and insured in Oregon?
Yes. In addition to rigorous background checks, all technicians carry current Oregon journeyman or master plumber licenses and complete continuing-education hours each year. Our company maintains full general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, protecting homeowners from financial risk if an accident occurs on the job site.
How quickly can a background-checked plumber reach my Hillsboro home?
With technicians stationed throughout Washington County, most non-emergency calls are scheduled for same-day or next-day service. For urgent issues—such as burst pipes or overflowing drains—we offer a 60-minute emergency response window, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our dispatch software tracks real-time traffic, so you receive accurate arrival updates via text or email.
What safety and cleanliness protocols do your background-checked plumbers follow?
Beyond passing their background check, our plumbers adhere to strict in-home guidelines: • Wearing company uniforms with photo ID badges • Using shoe covers and drop cloths to protect floors • Practicing OSHA-compliant safety procedures, including lock-out/tag-out on water and gas lines • Carrying EPA-approved disinfectants and cleaning tools to sanitize the work area after completion • Following CDC hygiene recommendations (handwashing, face coverings upon request). The goal is to resolve your plumbing problem while leaving your home as clean—or cleaner—than we found it.
