have to think about.

What we do

Eight things go wrong in a house.
We fix all eight properly.

Repairs, replacements and the planned work that stops the repairs. Pick the one that sounds like your week.

  1. 01Emergency PlumbingBurst lines, backed-up drains, water where water should not be. We pick up, talk you through stopping it, and get a van moving.
  2. 02Drain CleaningCabling, hydro-jetting and camera work. We clear the blockage, then show you the thing that caused it so you are not calling again in March.
  3. 03Water HeatersTank and tankless, gas and electric. We will tell you when a $180 part fixes it — and when spending that money is throwing it away.
  4. 04Leak Detection & RepairAcoustic and thermal detection first, drywall saw last. We open the smallest hole that gets the job done, and we close it up again.
  5. 05Sewer Line RepairRoot intrusion, bellies, offset joints and collapse. We inspect, we show you, and where the ground allows we replace it without trenching the lawn.
  6. 06RepipingGalvanized, polybutylene and failing copper. Planned room by room, water on every night, drywall patched behind us.
  7. 07Fixtures & FaucetsFaucets, toilets, sinks, tubs, shower valves and disposals — installed properly, sealed properly, and left clean.
  8. 08Water FiltrationWe test what is actually in your water first, then fit the smallest system that solves it. No scare charts, no rented tanks.

Our whole philosophy, briefly

The best plumbing job is the one you barely notice.

Nobody enjoys having a stranger in the house with a saw. The work is loud, it is in the way, and it happens in the rooms you use most. We cannot make that disappear, but we can make it small, quiet and finished on the day we said.

That is most of what separates a good plumber from a cheap one. Not the pipe. The hour either side of it.

  • Runners down before the toolbag comes inEvery job, not just the ones where the customer looks like they would mind.
  • Containment on anything we openPlastic, tape and a vacuum on the saw. Dust travels further than people expect.
  • The old part leaves with usAlong with the packaging, the offcuts and the box the new one came in.

Before and after

Drag the handle.
That is the whole pitch.

Why homeowners pick us

Six things you will notice.
Most of them are not plumbing.

  • 01

    You get the price before we start

    Written, itemized, and agreed at your door. If we find something behind a wall that changes it, work stops and we talk before anything else happens.

  • 02

    A plumber answers, not a call center

    The person you speak to can tell you where your shut-off is and what to do in the next four minutes. That is the whole point of calling.

  • 03

    We treat the house like someone lives in it

    Boot covers, floor runners, containment on open walls, and a vacuum before we leave. It costs us twenty minutes a job. It is the thing customers mention most.

  • 04

    We will talk you out of work

    If a repair beats a replacement we will say so, and we will say it even when the replacement is the bigger invoice. Nobody has ever regretted hiring the company that did that.

  • 05

    You see what we see

    Camera footage, photographs of what was behind the wall, and the old part in your hand if you want it. No findings you have to take on faith.

  • 06

    The same two vans, every time

    Small crew, no subcontractors. The person who quoted your job is the person who does it, and you will recognize them when they come back.

After-hours emergency line

Water does not wait
for business hours.

Answered by a plumber, not a call center, seven days a week. We will tell you how to shut it off before we even get in the van — and if we cannot reach you tonight, we will say so on the call rather than leave you waiting.

In their words

The compliment we get
most often is “tidy”.

Our upstairs bathroom started coming through the kitchen ceiling on a Sunday. Someone answered on the second ring, talked my husband through the shut-off, and had a van here inside two hours. The repair was one neat square of drywall, not the demolition I had pictured.

  • Third company to look at the same drain. First one to put a camera down it and show me the roots instead of just telling me about them. They cleared it, sent me the video, and quoted the actual repair without the theatrics.

  • I expected to be told I needed a new water heater. Instead I got a new thermostat, a flush and a note that the tank has maybe four years left in it. That is the first time a trade has ever talked me out of spending money.

  • Whole-house repipe over four days with two kids at home. They told us exactly which rooms and which days, we had water every single night, and the drywall was patched before they left. I have had painters make more mess.

How a job goes

Five steps. No stage
where you are guessing.

The same plumber from the first call to the last vacuum. Nothing is handed off, and nothing is started before you have said yes to a number.

  1. Step 01: You call

    A plumber picks up. We ask what you are seeing, and if water is moving we tell you how to stop it before we talk about anything else.

  2. Step 02: We diagnose

    On site, with a camera or a meter where it helps. You watch what we watch. Guessing is what makes plumbing expensive.

  3. Step 03: You approve

    A written price with the options laid out side by side. Nothing starts until you say the word, and the number does not move afterwards.

  4. Step 04: We fix it

    Floors protected, walls contained, and the work done to code with a permit where one is required.

  5. Step 05: You get your house back

    Cleaned up, patched where we opened, old parts hauled away, and a written record of what was done.

Who shows up

Your plumber should not
be a mystery.

Stillwater is two vans and five people. That is deliberate. It means the person who quotes your job is the person who does it, and if you call back in a year about the same bathroom, someone here remembers the bathroom.

We have been working out of Fairbank since 2009. Most of our work comes from people who had us out once and kept the number, which is the only marketing strategy we have ever been any good at.

Where we work

30 miles out from
Fairbank, and no further.

We would rather be the company that gets to you in an hour than the one with a map covering three counties and a two-day wait.

Marren County and North Cedar County. If you are just past the line, call anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we can be useful.

Questions we get asked

The things people call
and ask before booking.

Most days we can be at a Fairbank Valley address within a couple of hours, and emergency calls take priority over scheduled work. When you call we give you a real arrival window rather than a day-long one, and you get a call if it slips.

Flat rate for the job, agreed in writing before we start. Hourly billing rewards a slow plumber and makes the final number impossible for you to predict, so we do not use it.

Only if we find something genuinely different behind the wall, and if we do, work stops and we talk. You will never find a number on the invoice that you did not agree to first.

Yes, for anything that requires one — water heater replacements, repipes, sewer work and new fixtures on new lines. The permit and the inspection are in the quoted price. Unpermitted work is a problem you inherit when you sell.

Licensed and insured in Oregon, with general liability and workers’ compensation on every person who comes to your door. We are happy to send the certificates before we visit.

Call us and we come back. Our workmanship is warranted for two years; manufactured parts carry whatever the maker offers, and we will tell you which is which before you buy anything.

Next step

Let’s get your house
back to normal.

Four questions. Under a minute. You will get a call back from a plumber, not a booking form and a three-day silence.

  • A real arrival window, given on the phone
  • The price agreed before anything starts
  • No call center, no upsell script
