"We wanted to switch out our 20 year old water heater with a tankless option — to both save space and energy. Trinity plumbing was a great company. Sent an estimator out same day and really knew what they were talking about. I feel confident in a lot of my home renovation knowledge from the fact that both my parents build multiple of our homes but plumbing I am lost on. They were incredibly helpful and got the job done in no time! I was impressed all around. I might actually show our new water heater off the any guest that come visit 😂 job well done"

"Looking for a contractor for your remodeling job? We give John Wood five stars. We hired John Wood of JAW Construction to transform a building shell originally intended to be a shop for building trusses into a small house (officially an auxiliary dwelling unit or ADU) and are thrilled we found him. The job required skills that extended beyond new construction to include the insight, skill and craftsmanship of a highly experienced remodeling expert. He possessed these in spades. Beyond his own expertise, he has assembled a set of sub-contractors that are excellent craftsmen in their own areas of expertise. The job was doubly challenging given that for much of the construction period we were out of state getting our old home ready for sale. This also meant that an extra element of trust was involved. John sent us pictures of the progress, so that we could monitor from a distance. In addition, he was able to identify and rectify several flaws in our design. As with any large construction/remodeling project, there were some unexpected expenses that came up, but John worked with us to help limit cost overruns, sometimes foregoing profits. He was also always up front about the costs of the various components. Our new home is gorgeous and reflects his sharp eye for detail. We couldn’t be happier. In short, if you want a highly skilled, trustworthy, hardworking contractor for your large (or small) job, we highly recommend John Wood of JAW Construction."

"The first job that John did for me was a shower remodel. Old fiberglass shower was replaced with tiled one, also new tile floor and a new toilet. It's bigger now and looks gorgeous! It was done on time, as scheduled and at reasonable price. When my old deck needed repair, I called John again. His crew replaced all damaged wood and now my old deck looks like new! John and his crew are easy to work with, polite, clean everything after the work is done. I would definitely recommend and hire again."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Portland, OR
Yes, flushing washes out the sediment that would otherwise coat heating elements and build up along the tank walls. Clearing that gunk keeps water heating evenly, lowers energy use, and helps the unit last longer. In short, a quick flush keeps your heater running at peak efficiency instead of fighting through layers of mineral sludge.
Plan on a full flush once a year. If you live with hard water—or hear rumbling inside the tank—step it up to twice yearly. Sticking to that schedule scrubs out sediment, keeps hot water flowing, and shields the heater from premature wear. Regular flushing also wards off surprise repair bills and helps the unit run more efficiently day-to-day.
Listen and look for clues: popping or banging sounds, cloudy or rusty water, lukewarm showers, moisture around the drain valve, or a sudden spike in energy bills. Any of these signals point to sediment hogging space inside the tank and choking heat transfer. A thorough flush clears the buildup, restores steady temperatures, and helps the heater run smoothly for years to come.
