Services

Sheltons Construction handles plumbing and the construction work that goes with it across the Portland metro — emergency calls, water heaters, drains and sewer lines, leaks and repipes, plus bathroom, kitchen and remodel work where plumbing and framing meet. One licensed crew, one contract, whether it's a burst pipe tonight or a full remodel.

For businesses, builders and property managers

For homes

Emergency plumbing

Burst pipes, backed-up drains, no hot water — a plumber on the way, day or night.

Water heater repair & installation

Repair when it makes sense, replacement when it does not — tank and tankless, gas and electric.

Tankless water heaters

Endless hot water and a smaller footprint, sized and vented right for the house.

Drain cleaning

Kitchen, bath, laundry and main-line clogs cleared properly, with the cause explained.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots out of a line a cable only pokes through.

Sewer camera inspection

See the line before anyone digs: roots, bellies, breaks and offsets on video, with a locate.

Sewer line repair & replacement

Spot repairs, trenchless options and full replacements, with the permits handled.

Leak detection & pipe repair

Find the leak without tearing up the house, then fix the pipe rather than the symptom.

Whole-home repiping

Replace failing galvanized, polybutylene or pinholing copper with PEX or copper, room by room.

Water pressure problems

Low pressure, high pressure, hammering pipes: regulators, valves and the real cause.

Bathroom plumbing

Showers, tubs, toilets, vanities and the rough-in behind them — repairs and remodels.

Kitchen plumbing

Sinks, faucets, disposals, dishwashers, ice makers and pot fillers, installed to last.

Toilet repair & installation

Running, rocking, leaking or clogging toilets fixed — or replaced with one that will not.

Faucets & fixtures

Faucets, shower valves, hose bibs and shut-offs, repaired or replaced in one visit.

Garbage disposals

Jammed, leaking or dead disposals repaired or swapped for the right size unit.

Remodel plumbing

Moving walls, adding a bath, opening a kitchen: rough-in through trim, coordinated with your contractor.

Sump pumps & crawlspace drainage

Keep the crawlspace dry through a wet Northwest winter: pumps, check valves, battery backups.

Frozen & burst pipes

Cold snaps find the hose bib and the crawlspace pipe every year — thaw, repair, and prevent the next one.

Hot water recirculation

Hot water at the far tap in seconds instead of a minute of water down the drain.

What kind of work does Sheltons Construction handle?

We're a licensed Oregon plumbing contractor, and most jobs fall into two buckets: plumbing service calls — a water heater that quit, a drain that backs up every winter, a slow leak behind a wall — and the plumbing that comes attached to a bigger construction job, like a kitchen or bathroom remodel where old galvanized pipe turns up once the walls are open.

We work across the Portland metro — Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, down to Salem for larger or scheduled jobs. A lot of the housing stock here is older: bungalows and foursquares from the early 1900s, ranches and split-levels from the postwar decades, all of it sitting under a wet climate that's hard on anything outside or underneath the house. That shapes how we plan drain layouts, repipes and remodel rough-ins, and it's usually why a "small" leak turns into a bigger scope once we're inside a wall or crawlspace.

Homeowners call us for the emergency and the replacement decision that follows it. Landlords and property managers use us for coordinated repairs and cleaner paperwork across multiple units. Builders and remodelers bring us in for rough-in and trim work that has to hold a schedule and pass inspection the first time.

Questions people ask

Do you take standalone plumbing calls, or only work tied to remodels?+

Both. We take emergency and service calls on their own — water heaters, drains, leaks, repipes — and we also handle the plumbing that comes up inside a bathroom, kitchen or remodel job.

What areas do you serve?+

Portland and the surrounding metro: Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Oregon City, Milwaukie, Happy Valley, Clackamas, Wilsonville, Troutdale, Sherwood, and down I-5 to Salem for larger or scheduled jobs.

Do you pull permits?+

Yes. Plumbing and construction permits go through the relevant Portland-metro jurisdiction as part of the job — we manage that rather than leaving it to the homeowner.

What's typical for an older Portland house?+

Galvanized or cast-iron supply and drain lines that have outlived their service life, often found once a remodel opens the walls or a slow leak finally shows itself.
