Does Sheltons Construction work in Beaverton?
Yes. Beaverton is core territory for us, alongside the rest of Washington County and the wider Portland metro. We take emergency calls, water heater jobs, drain and sewer work, leak repair, repiping and plumbing for remodels — residential and light commercial.
What's different about plumbing in Beaverton
Beaverton isn't one housing stock, it's several stacked on top of each other. Neighborhoods like Cedar Hills, West Slope and parts of Aloha went up in the 1950s and 60s, and a lot of those houses still have original galvanized supply lines or the first generation of copper — both of which are past or nearing the end of their working life. Galvanized pipe in particular narrows from the inside over decades; if your pressure has dropped or your hot water runs rusty for the first minute, that's usually why.
Further out — South Cooper Mountain, Bethany-adjacent areas, the newer build-out toward Murray and Scholls Ferry — houses are 20 years old or less, plumbed in PEX, and the issues run more to fixture failures, tankless units due for service, or builder-grade water heaters reaching the end of their rated life rather than pipe age.
Washington County's soil is heavy in clay through a lot of Beaverton, and it moves seasonally with the wet Oregon winters — that shifting is a common cause of sewer line breaks and slow drains that don't have an obvious cause from inside the house. If a drain backs up every fall and clears on its own by spring, the line is worth a camera look before it's an emergency.
Beaverton and the Tualatin Valley Water District both draw from a mix of sources, and the water here runs moderately hard — enough that a water heater with no maintenance history is more likely to be carrying sediment than one in a naturally soft-water area. That shortens tank life and is part of why we ask about the house's age and area before quoting a straight swap.
Which services matter most in Beaverton
- Water heater repair & installation — tank replacements in older Cedar Hills and West Slope homes, tankless service and installs in newer construction, and diagnosing why a unit is failing early.
- Emergency plumbing — burst lines, no hot water, backed-up drains. If you're not sure whether to shut the water off while you wait, call and ask.
- Drain and sewer work, especially in homes with mature landscaping or older clay sewer laterals, where root intrusion and clay-soil movement are the usual suspects.
- Leak detection and repiping for houses still running galvanized or original copper, particularly through Cedar Hills, Raleigh Hills and West Slope.
- Plumbing for remodels and bathroom or kitchen work, common across Beaverton's mix of ranch remodels and newer additions.
Do you also cover Portland?
Yes — Beaverton is part of the same service area as Portland and the rest of the metro, so there's no crossing-town premium for jobs near the city line.
