Portland has a lot of housing stock built before PEX and modern copper became standard, which means galvanized and early plastic supply lines are still common — and still failing. Whether it's a single corroded section or a whole system that's reached the end of its service life, we scope the actual condition of your pipes before recommending a spot repair, a partial repipe, or a full replacement. In Kerns (97214), mature street trees throughout this part of Portland send roots toward clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, which is the leading cause of recurring drain backups we see here.
