When a pipe leaks, a drain backs up, or a water heater stops producing hot water, the question is simple: who can get here, what will it cost, and what happens once they arrive. AC Services and Plumbing handles plumbing repair and installation for homes and commercial properties throughout Tigard and the surrounding area. Work is performed by licensed plumbers who show up prepared, explain the scope before anything starts, and leave the space clean when the job is done. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and same-day service is often available.
The price is confirmed on the call before we schedule anything. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what you are looking at before anyone shows up at the door. Whether you are dealing with something urgent or planning a fixture upgrade, the process starts the same way: you call, we talk through what is going on, and we give you a straight answer.
Plumbing calls in a city like Tigard do not all look the same, and the work that follows them does not either. A home built decades ago on its original supply lines is a different job from a newer build with a failing pressure regulator. A rental unit with a backed-up drain is a different call from a property manager coordinating a water heater replacement across several units. Knowing what kind of job you are dealing with changes how we approach it.
Some calls start with a symptom and no obvious cause. Water showing up where it should not, pressure that has dropped without explanation, a drain that slows down and then clears and then slows again. These are diagnostic jobs first. We locate the source before we quote the fix, and we explain what we found before any repair work starts. Leak detection, water pressure diagnostics, and slab leak detection are part of this work. Finding the problem accurately saves time and avoids opening up walls or floors that do not need to come apart.
A repair is the right call when the affected component is isolated and the surrounding pipe or fixture is in sound condition. When the problem is recurring, or when the pipe material itself is the issue, replacement is the more practical answer. We handle water heater replacements, toilet and fixture replacements, shutoff valve and supply line swaps, and full pipe replacement where the existing material has reached the end of its useful life. The scope is explained and agreed before work begins.
Not every call is urgent. Homeowners planning a bathroom update, landlords scheduling a fixture upgrade across multiple units, and property managers coordinating a tankless water heater installation before a tenancy begins are all jobs that benefit from being booked ahead with a date attached. We handle the plumbing side of planned installations from start to finish, including permit handling where the job requires it. The full breakdown of what we take on is on the service page.
The rate is given on the call, before anything is booked. What we quote is based on what you describe, and it covers the work as scoped at that point. Two things can move it once a plumber is on site: what the fault turns out to be, and what has to come apart to reach it.
A dripping faucet that turns out to have a corroded shutoff valve behind it is a larger job than the call described. A slow drain that a camera shows is partially collapsed further down the line is a different repair from a surface clog. When that happens, the additional scope is explained and priced before any extra work is done. Nothing is added without your agreement.

A burst supply line, a sewer backup, or a water heater that has stopped working entirely are not problems that improve with time. We are open every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and same-day appointments are often available for calls that cannot be put off. If you call and describe an urgent situation, we work to get someone out the same day.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the situation where we can. That means being clear about what parts of the system will be offline during the repair and for how long, so you can plan accordingly. You get a call before the visit, and you are told what to expect.
Property managers trust us to keep their buildings running, and that means being reachable and direct when something goes wrong. Give us a call and we will take it from there.
Older homes in the Tigard area were commonly plumbed with galvanized steel supply lines, which corrode from the inside over time. As the interior narrows, water pressure drops and rough spots collect mineral buildup, which accelerates joint failures. Polybutylene pipe, installed widely in the 1980s and into the 1990s, has its own pattern of failure: it becomes brittle and develops cracks at fittings. Both materials are worth addressing before a failure happens. We handle partial replacements where the problem is localized and whole-home repiping in copper or PEX where the material has reached the point where patching is no longer the practical answer.
A pressure-regulating valve controls the force at which water enters the home from the main. When it fails, pressure can drop throughout the house or, in the other direction, run high enough to stress fixtures and supply lines. A pressure regulator replacement is a straightforward repair once the valve is confirmed as the cause. We diagnose the pressure first, confirm what is driving it, and replace the valve where that is the right fix.
A toilet that runs constantly or leaks at the base is wasting water on every cycle. The cause is usually a worn flapper, a failed fill valve, or a wax ring that has lost its seal. We repair what can be repaired and replace the unit when the fixture itself has reached the end of its useful life. For households looking to reduce water use, a low-flow toilet replacement is a practical upgrade that pays back over time.
A blockage that affects every fixture in the house at once is a main line problem, not a fixture problem. We clear main line clogs with snaking and hydro jetting, and we use camera inspection to confirm the cause and assess the condition of the line. Root intrusion, grease buildup, and pipe offset are the most common findings. The repair or replacement is scoped based on what the camera shows.
Hard freezes are uncommon across the Pacific Northwest region, and pipe thawing calls are rare here. Where a freeze does occur in an unusual cold snap, we handle the thaw and assess whether the pipe has cracked or split in the process. Any section that has failed gets repaired or replaced before water is restored to that line. We pull the permit. We plumb it to code. We stand behind it.
A single fixture draining slowly points at a localized clog, usually in the trap or the short run of drain line close to that fixture. A plunger or a drain snake at the fixture access is often enough to clear it. When the slow drain is in the kitchen and the bathroom at the same time, or when a toilet gurgles when the washing machine drains, the problem is further down the line. That pattern points at the main sewer line, not at any individual fixture.
The distinction matters because the approach is different. A fixture clog is a short job. A main line blockage requires accessing the cleanout, running a snake or hydro jet through the full run, and often a camera inspection to confirm the line is clear and in good condition. Treating a main line blockage as a fixture clog means the problem comes back. We assess which situation applies before recommending a fix.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and the drain side of the system is where problems announce themselves first. We'll make your plumbing sound again.
Anyone weighing up a job in Tigard may want the page covering plumbing jobs first.
We serve Tigard and the surrounding communities throughout Washington County. If your home or property is in King City, Metzger, Durham, Bull Mountain, or Garden Home-Whitford, we cover those areas as well. Same-day service is often available across the coverage area, and we work with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers on everything from a single repair to a planned installation project.
Calls are answered here, and the job gets booked properly. You are not navigating a menu or waiting on a callback from a system that does not know the area. Experienced plumbers who respect your home handle the work, and the price is confirmed before anyone is dispatched.
Call us and describe what you are seeing. We will assess whether the return visit is related to the original repair or a separate issue, and we will be straightforward with you about what applies. The price for any return work is confirmed on the call before we schedule anything.
Someone with authority to make decisions about the work needs to be reachable during the visit, even if they are not physically on site. For a rental, that is typically the landlord or property manager. If access to the unit is being arranged through a tenant, we confirm the logistics in advance so there are no delays on the day.
No, you do not need to do that in advance. We assess what needs to be opened once we see the situation. If access is required, we handle it as part of the job and discuss the approach with you before we start.
A repair that does not hold is usually a sign that the underlying cause was not fully addressed. A drain that clears and then backs up again often has a buildup or a root intrusion further down the line. A leak that reappears at the same spot may indicate that the pipe material around the repair is also failing. We look at the full picture rather than just the visible symptom.
Yes, and it is worth having it looked at. Work done outside of code standards sometimes creates problems that are not obvious until a fixture fails or a leak develops. We assess the existing installation, tell you what we find, and recommend what needs to be corrected.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the job and, in some cases, whether the work touches the main supply line or involves a new fixture location. We handle the permit process as part of any project that requires one. If you are not sure whether your job needs a permit, ask on the call and we will tell you what applies.
The honest answer depends on what the pipe looks like and how far the deterioration has progressed. A licensed plumber can assess the condition of the existing pipe, explain what the failure pattern suggests, and give you a clear picture of whether a targeted repair makes sense or whether the material has reached the point where repiping is the more practical long-term answer. We explain what we find before recommending anything.
It depends on the scope and location of the work. A repair to a single bathroom or a utility area often does not require closing the business. Work that requires shutting off the main supply to the building may need to be coordinated around business hours. We discuss the logistics when we quote the job so you can plan accordingly.
Same-day service is often available throughout our coverage area, including King City, Metzger, Durham, Bull Mountain, and Garden Home-Whitford. Availability depends on what is already scheduled that day. Call (360) 492-4454 and describe the situation, and we will tell you what we can get to today.
