"Jon-Marc was very professional; he explained every step that he was going to take to get or water heater working again, then proceeded to do what he said he would! The job was finished correctly and on time."

"First visit: Ryan came to see what work would be needed. Gave recommendation for water heater as well as 'booster' to provide more hot water. Did not go into crawl space under house to investigate bathtub plumbing needs. Explained steps we needed to take to prepare bathroom and floor for installation. (Total visit: almost an hour.) Second visit: Ryan performed jobs 2 and 3 easily and efficiently. Replaced earthquake straps on water heater; they had not been installed properly 10 years ago. Finally entered crawl space and realized he would need a second person to do plumbing bathtub hookup from below and above floor at same time. Arranged for a 3rd visit with an apprentice a week later. Third visit: Ryan and helper cut waste line and installed branch line to new tub location, plus install new water supply lines for tub as well as hook up tub to new branch line. Worked efficiently and thoroughly. [NOT MP Plumbing's fault: hose bib had hidden damage which began leaking a few days later; Seth called and explained function and design of hose bib, but when he was informed that it was still dripping at end of explanation, he immediately said something was wrong and he'd be by in 20 minutes. Arrived quickly (forth visit), removed part and discovered mis-manufactured part. Replaced immediately, and made note that it was too soon to have been our fault so there would be no charge for the part or the visit.] Ryan, Seth and apprentice were all very friendly; they took the time to make sure we understood what they would be doing (and in some instances why). They worked well and efficiently and were very careful and considerate of our space. Easy to talk to and we never felt they were talking down to us; when they used in-house 'lingo', they made sure we knew what was meant. Overall a very pleasant experience. While we had been told on the phone when we made the initial appointment that the first visit was a chargeable service call, Ryan discounted that first visit as he had not discovered the need for a second person and thus he had to come for the third visit with the apprentice. We felt that we were treated exceedingly fairly in those circumstances. Total cost includes water heater, booster and plumbing fittings."

"Nick is an excellent plumber. My late husband was a perfectionist, and he admired Nick's work and his creative problem-solving. Nick replace a frost-free water facet that would not turn off. I thought the house siding might need removing, but Nick fixed it from the inside of the house, and it works perfectly. A few years ago, the water main from the street to the house started leaking inside the house and below the shutoff valve. I discovered this on a Friday at 6:00 PM. Nick's wife walked me through how to turn the water off at the street. Saturday morning Nick and his wife, Anna, showed up, and Nick developed a workaround solution so I could have water until he replaced the pipe that runs from the street to the house. Nick put a sink in the garage with hot and cold running water when previous plumbers said it wasn't possible, and it has worked perfectly for over 10-years now. AND, he cleans up everything before leaving."

"The technician arrived a few minutes earlier than the scheduled appointment and checked the water meter on the outside of the house. He then determined the problem quickly and replaced the part in less than an hour. He offered to check the other toilets in the house to make sure they weren't leaking and then checked the meter outside to make sure he had resolved the problem. He also offered helpful tips that were greatly appreciated.

"The extended new wall solved a slope problem where the tree-like shrubs were leaning over into the neighbor's yard. The appearance of the wall and fence is much improved. The contractor's suggestion to put the previous fence's replacement on top of the wall was also very positive. The new wall and fence are much more attractive and stable than the previous. (A minor point: some of the debris from the previous wall was not removed.)"

"They did a very good job, and they were careful not to damage siding or surrounding landscaping.   Cleaned up the work area each day, and upon completion left the area looking better than before the work started.   The best part -- no more leaking water in our basement.   I waited to write this review until we had been through a couple period of heavy rain.   Thanks Q!

"I had a fantastic experience with this project. Robert quickly understood my needs and proposed a project at a very reasonable price. Work started quickly after the bid was accepted; the crew completed the work within several days. They always straightened up the work area well at the end of the day and minimized impact on the surrounding area. I am thrilled with my new patio and feel that I will use the space far more often during warmer weather. The rain garden also solves a long-term wish to better manage the water that drains from gutters along the back of the house. I would definitely hire this company again."

FAQs for water or fuel tank remove projects in Portland, OR

There are several reasons why you might need to remove an oil tank. In some areas, local regulations require tanks to be removed after a certain period. Leaking tanks can pose hazards to drinking water and the environment. Plus, many municipalities won't allow property sales until an inspection confirms the oil tank is safe.

One option for disposing of an oil tank is to have your removal pro take it to a dismantling yard or salvage yard for recycling. If a salvage yard isn’t an option, you can contact a local landfill or a local oil tank removal service for help finding a proper disposal location for your tank. Typically, you’ll need to show there’s no sludge or residue in the tank.

A leaking oil tank reveals itself through increased energy bills and a noticeable oily sheen on water surfaces, which signals a malfunction. You may also experience strong oil odors and observe stained grass and deteriorating vegetation near your property. These clear warning signs demand immediate professional evaluation to protect the environment and secure your property’s safety.

Yes, states mandate soil testing during oil tank removal to detect hazardous pollutants that harm the environment. This testing confirms that no soil contamination exists. Certified specialists collect soil samples to meet regulatory requirements and ensure property safety. Conducting these tests protects water quality and the structure’s integrity while immediately triggering any necessary remediation measures.
