Oregon's frequent rainfall, particularly in Portland, can saturate the ground and put pressure on underground pipes. Older homes, common in many parts of the state, may have plumbing that is more susceptible to leaks. The dampness can also contribute to corrosion over time. We understand how these environmental factors can affect your home's plumbing systems.
