Almost always a wax-ring failure on the toilet above, a shower-pan leak, or a supply line in the wall or floor. We trace from the wet spot, isolate by closing valves, and confirm with a pressure check before opening anything up.
A worn supply-stop valve, a failing trap connection, or a pinhole on the supply line. Most are a same-visit part swap once we've identified the source.
Damp drywall, paint bubbling, a baseboard warping, or a stain ring growing over time. We localize the exact spot before cutting — PEX-A flexibility lets us repair through smaller access openings than older copper repairs needed.
Common at toilets, dishwashers, and ice-maker lines. Usually a quarter-turn valve that's seized or a compression fitting that's let go after years of pressure cycles.
Could be a slab leak, a leaking drain branch, or condensation pooling against a cold surface. We narrow it down before recommending wall openings or specialty trades.
We follow the wet spot or stain to its source — pressure-test sections of the supply line, isolate by closing valves, and use a thermal camera on the wall when it narrows the search. We make the smallest access cut that lets us complete the repair.
Cabinet pulls, ceiling cuts, drywall openings — we tell you up front what the repair is going to require to expose. Drywall patching, mudding, and paint are a separate trade; happy to pass along a referral if you want one, or you can handle the close-out yourself.
Trucks carry common supply stops, supply lines, compression fittings, PEX repair couplings, and push-fit fittings. Most single-point repairs wrap on the first visit.
One pinhole on copper is a repair. A second or third in different rooms — especially on galvanized — is a credible diagnostic moment to talk about a partial or whole-house repipe. We'll give you the math on both paths and let you decide.
We follow visible evidence to the source — pressure-test sections, isolate by closing valves, and use a thermal camera only where it narrows the search
Clean access cuts, sized as small as the repair allows. Drywall patch and finish work is a separate trade — referral on request, or you can handle it yourself
Pinhole patches, push-fit and compression couplings on copper, PEX repair couplings, and fitting-level swaps on supply lines
Faucet supply stops, dishwasher and ice-maker shutoffs, P-traps, hose bibs, and water heater connections — most stocked on the truck
Once a slab leak has been located — visibly, by direct trace, or via a referral diagnostic — we do the spot repair (cut, re-route, or single-point splice). We don't run sonic equipment to find one we can't trace
One leak is a repair. Multiple leaks in different rooms — especially on galvanized — is a diagnostic moment we'll walk you through plainly, with both numbers in writing

Morgan founded and runs bluefrog from SE Portland. The business is woman-owned and LGBTQ-owned — a team that reflects the city we serve. When you call, you reach a local shop whose owner oversees every project, not a national dispatch center routing you to whoever's available.
We price by the job, not by the hour. You see a written estimate after diagnosis and before we touch anything — no overtime charges, no surprises. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Every technician on our crew is a direct bluefrog employee — background-checked, Oregon-licensed, and accountable to Morgan personally. We don't route calls through a dispatch network or hand off to whoever's available. You'll get the right person for the job, not just whoever's next in the queue.

I had a great experience today with Bluefrog. I had a leaky valve on some very old piping. It only required a quick tighten but could have been a much bigger project given location and age. It was a quick fix and they did not charge me an arm and leg. I'll use…
★★★★★
I had a pipe burst and called 8 or 9 places with zero luck — most couldn't help for 1 to 2 weeks. But Bluefrog's customer service went above and beyond to get me serviced the next morning, rearranging their schedule to help. The technician was prompt and got…

We had a mysterious hot water flow issue that a different plumbing company couldn't figure out, and Shae immediately solved it and fixed it same day. They were also able to get us in quickly, which I appreciated. Thank you so much!
★★★★★
Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and reasonably priced! And quick to respond. Highly recommend!
★★★★★
They solved a fairly complex problem the same day that I called them. They were courteous, prompt, and clear about costs and options.

The plumber (Eric) arrived on time. Quickly determined what the problem was and fixed it on the spot. Good communication. High quality work.
If you have a wet spot, a stain, water bubbling under paint, or even hearing-distance evidence (a drip you can hear from a quiet room), yes — we trace from there. If the only signal is a spiking water bill and nothing is visibly wet anywhere in the house, you want a specialized leak-detection company that runs acoustic, sonic, and thermal equipment to chase fully invisible leaks. That's a different service — we'd refer you out, and we know good ones in Portland.
Visual evidence is the starting point — paint bubbling, drywall stain, baseboards warping, or a damp spot. From there we narrow it down: close fixture-level valves to isolate hot vs. cold and supply vs. drain, run a pressure check on the suspect line, and use a thermal camera to see hot-line leaks through wall finishes. Once we've localized the spot, we cut a clean access hole — not a guess — and complete the repair.
Cost depends on what we find. A leaking supply stop or compression fitting under a sink is on the lower end; a slow leak behind a wall that requires localization, access, and pipe repair is more. The estimate is free, and the price is by the job — you see the full number after diagnosis, before any work starts. No per-hour billing, no overtime during business hours.
One leak in one place is a repair, full stop. But when pinhole leaks start showing up in different rooms — especially on galvanized supply piping, or copper that's 40+ years old — the pipe material itself is failing, not just one fitting. At that point, repairing each new leak as it comes is more expensive over a few years than a partial or whole-house repipe. We don't push the upsell; we give you the math on both paths and let you decide.
Yes — for single-point repair once the leak has been located. If you can see the wet spot, hear the running water, or you've already had a leak-detection specialist pinpoint the spot, we cut, repair (or re-route), and put it back. What we don't do is run the sonic equipment to find a slab leak you can't trace. If your only signal is a high water bill with nothing visibly wet, we'll refer you to a leak-detection company we trust.
No — drywall patching, mudding, sanding, texture, and paint is a different trade with its own skill set. We make access cuts as small and clean as the repair allows. Most homeowners handle the patch themselves or hire a painter to close it out; if you'd rather hand it to a drywall finisher, we're happy to pass along a referral. Either way, we tell you exactly where the openings will be before any cutting starts.
Most homeowner policies cover the damage caused by a sudden leak (water-damaged drywall, flooring, ceilings) but not the repair of the pipe itself. Slow, long-term leaks are often excluded — which is why catching them early matters. We're happy to write up a clear scope and itemized invoice that your adjuster can review.
We serve most of the Portland metro area — typically within 20 miles of SE Portland.
