Serving the NE Glisan corridor from Hazelwood to Centennial. 1950s-1970s East Portland ranch homes on slab, ABS and clay laterals — we stock for the housing era we find here every week.
Live 24/7 dispatch. Stocked trucks. Most repairs first-visit complete.
No call-center runaround. Live answer, dispatch, on-site work, written quote, fix, permit.
Real dispatcher picks up — no voicemail, no IVR menu. We confirm your address in the Hazelwood or Centennial corridor, triage the issue, and stay on the line while we find the nearest available crew. If you need to shut your water off, we walk you through it.
We send the closest stocked truck to the 97230 ZIP. ETA quoted before we hang up — typically 30-60 minutes. Crews are based in SE Portland but dispatched by proximity, not from a fixed hub on the far side of the city.
On-site inspection — we don't quote sight-unseen. Written quote before any work starts. If the scope camera reveals something different from the initial triage, we stop, explain, and re-quote before we continue.
Most repairs first-visit complete. Our trucks carry common fittings for 1950s-1970s East Portland slab construction, including ABS couplers and clay tile repair hardware. Portland BDS and BES permits pulled where required — we file via Oregon ePermitting.
The neighborhoods clustered around the Masjid Annoor Islamic Center on NE Glisan St — Hazelwood, Centennial, Glenfair, Mill Park, and Powellhurst-Gilbert — are some of the most active areas for drain service calls in East Portland. The housing stock was built primarily between 1955 and 1975, and the plumbing systems in those homes are now 50 to 70 years old.
These are largely slab-on-grade ranch and cape-cod homes, which means the drain lines run under the concrete slab rather than through a basement or crawlspace. When an under-slab drain line fails, you have less warning than you would in a basement-drain home — the first sign is often a backup at a floor drain, a wet spot in the carpet, or unexplained moisture around a toilet base. When you call us, describe those symptoms. It changes what equipment we bring on the first truck.
The 97230 corridor around NE Glisan St and Masjid Annoor is firmly East Portland territory — post-war slab construction, different soil profile from SE Portland, and a distinct failure pattern compared to the clay-tile Craftsman belt west of 82nd Ave. The homes here were built for affordability and speed in the postwar era, which means the drain systems often used ABS plastic where it was available and clay tile where it wasn't. Both materials are now aging into their failure window.
ABS joints from this era fail at the glued couplings as the plastic ages and the adhesive dries out. Clay tile laterals in the Centennial and Hazelwood street corridors pick up root intrusion from the mature landscaping common in established 97230 neighborhoods. Crews who run NE Glisan and the surrounding grid weekly understand which failure mode they're walking into before they open the cleanout — that's the difference between a first-visit fix and a second trip.

Anonymized case study from a recent dispatch in this corridor.
Recent call on NE Glisan near 122nd Ave — a 1963 slab-on-grade ranch with a main-line backup pushing water up through the utility-room floor drain. Camera scope revealed an ABS lateral with a bellied section at roughly 18 ft from the cleanout, collecting grease and debris in the low spot. We hydro-jetted the accumulated buildup, cleared the belly obstruction, and scoped CIPP cured-in-place lining as a long-term solution for the compromised section. The homeowner was back to full use same evening. Portland BES lateral connection permit filed the following morning.
We dispatch 24/7. Live dispatch around the clock. ETA 30-60 minutes to the 97230 corridor.
