How it works

Six steps from your call to a fixed pipe

You call

Call (503) 442-7800. A real person answers during business hours. After hours, leave a message and our on-call tech gets back to you within 30 minutes for emergencies.

We ask the right questions

We need to know where you are, what is happening, and how urgent it is. This gets you to the right tech with the right parts on the truck.

We give you a time window

You get a two-hour arrival window, not a vague 'sometime today.' We text when the tech is 30 minutes out. Call before noon and we aim for same-day.

We diagnose and quote

The tech inspects the problem, gives you a written price before any work starts, and explains what is wrong in plain English. No surprise numbers at the end.

We fix it

Work is done to Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code. All materials are commercial-grade. The tech cleans up before leaving. We do not leave you with a half-done job.

We follow up

We send a service summary by email. Our labor warranty runs one year. If anything we touched gives you trouble inside that window, one call gets a tech back out at no charge.

Who we help

What brought you here today?

Emergency

Emergency same-day response

Burst pipes and active leaks go to the front of the queue. Call (503) 442-7800 and say it is an emergency. Our on-call tech aims to be at your door within two hours.

2h

target response for emergencies

Shut the water off first

Your main shutoff is usually near the street, in the garage, or under the kitchen sink. Turning it off limits damage while we drive to you. We will walk you through it on the phone.

Every second counts

We stop the leak and then fix the cause

The immediate patch is step one. We camera-inspect afterward to make sure there is no secondary damage hidden in the wall or floor before we close everything up.

Helpful tips

Before you call

When to call vs. DIY a clog

A plunger or a $12 hair snake handles a single slow drain in the trap. When two or more drains back up at the same time, or you hear the toilet gurgle when the sink runs, that is a main-line signal. Do not use store-bought drain chemicals on a main-line issue. Call a plumber with a camera before the problem becomes a sewage backup.

Signs your water heater is nearing the end

Most tank water heaters last eight to twelve years. Watch for rust-colored water at the hot tap, a rumbling or popping sound during heating cycles, pooling water at the base, or noticeably slower hot-water recovery. If yours is over ten years old and showing any of these signs, budget for a replacement rather than a repair.

Protecting your pipes in a Portland cold snap

Portland freezes are infrequent but brutal on pipes that are not built for sustained cold. Exposed pipes on exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces go first. Before a hard freeze: disconnect garden hoses, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls, and know where your main shutoff valve is. If a pipe bursts, shut the water off immediately and call us.

Why a slow drain costs less to fix today than tomorrow

A slow drain usually means grease, hair, or soap scum building up in the branch line. Left a week or two, it becomes a full blockage. Left longer, pressure builds and can force grease past the trap seal, causing odors and potential sewage backflow. A standard drain snaking runs $89 to $149. An emergency call for a backed-up drain runs two to three times that.

Our story

Built by a plumber who grew up on these streets.

We live here. When your pipe bursts at 7pm, you deserve a plumber who knows your block.

Tom Reyes spent a decade with a regional plumbing contractor before he noticed a gap: NW Portland kept getting skipped. The big outfits ran jobs in the suburbs and sent 45-minute ETAs into Nob Hill and Slabtown. Tom lived in the Alphabet District. He knew his neighbors were waiting three days for someone to show up.

In 2008 he started Riverbend from a single van. The rule was simple: one zip code at a time, same-day when possible, phone answered by someone who knows the neighborhood.

Today Riverbend runs four licensed plumbers across eleven NW and N Portland neighborhoods. Tom still does walkthroughs on repipe jobs and still answers the phone on Saturday mornings. Every tech holds an Oregon Journeyman or Master Plumber license and will show ID before stepping inside.
