Recurring pinholes or pressure drops on a single run — kitchen feed, one bath stack, an addition that was tied in later — while the rest of the house still runs strong. Replacing only the failing branch is often the right call.
Plenty of Portland homes had the cold supply rerun decades ago and left the hot side original. The hot side corrodes faster, and the cold side may have another 20 years in it — no reason to redo what's working.
Carriers often flag Quest, Poly-B, or Vanguard pipe and ask for it to come out before they'll renew. If only part of the house has poly — say a remodeled basement off original copper upstairs — a targeted replacement satisfies the carrier without a full whole-home job.
A line under a slab or in a crawl gives up while the runs in your wall cavities are still fine. Replumbing the failing section above the slab, or rerunning a single line through the crawl, is usually faster and cheaper than a whole-home repipe.
When the inspection report flags one bathroom or one branch run, a targeted replacement clears the line item without committing to a full repipe before sale.
We walk every fixture and pressure-test the runs to confirm what's actually failing — and what's still fine. The estimate lists exactly which lines we're replacing.
If the rest of the system is a year or two from the same problem, we'll say so during the walkthrough and show you both numbers side by side. We'd rather quote the right job once than the easy job twice.
Flexible PEX-A routes around obstacles with fewer access cuts than rigid copper. We map every opening before any drywall comes out and tell you exactly where they'll be.
Even on a partial, Oregon requires a permit any time supply lines change. We pull it, schedule the rough-in inspection, and close out the final. You coordinate nothing with the city.
We map every supply run, pressure-test the lines, and confirm exactly which sections are failing before writing a number
Every line we're replacing — kitchen feed, hot side, basement branch — listed individually. No surprises on what was or wasn't included
PEX-A is what we install on partials: flexible routing means fewer access cuts and fewer joints, it handles Portland freeze-thaw well, and it carries a 25-year warranty against the pipe
A kitchen feed plus two bathrooms generally finishes in about a day and a half. Smaller scopes finish same day. We give you a specific timeline at the walkthrough
Portland permit pulled, rough-in inspected by the city, final permit closed before we leave. You handle no city paperwork
While we're in the supply system, we look at your hose bibs and main shutoff and tell you what we see. No upsell — just a heads-up if something else is overdue
We show you exactly where every access cut will be before any drywall comes out. Drywall finish is a separate trade — we're happy to pass along a referral if you want one
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 works under Oregon CCB #255748. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out — you don't have to coordinate anything. The work meets Oregon code and gives your home a clean paper trail.
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.
The team that shows up at your door.

I recently requested an estimate from Bluefrog Plumbing and Drain of Portland for repiping of my home and was very pleased with the overall experience. They responded promptly to my inquiry and were able to schedule a visit quickly. Jeff was professional,…

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…

Pretty nasty job in a crawl space. The crew from Bluefrog were great. Showed up on time, got the job done. Very reasonable pricing. Will definitely use again.

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 Bluefrog install a new water heater in our cellar which is accessible via a very steep and rickety stairway. They managed to get the old heater out and new one in with care. Separately, they connected our new washer and dryer to the water supply and…
It comes down to where the failure is and what the rest of the system looks like. If one branch line keeps pinholing while pressure across the rest of the house is strong, a partial replacement is usually the right call. If the hot side is failing in two or three places and the cold side is showing first-flush discoloration, the rest of the system is likely 12 months from the same problem — and the smart money is on a whole-home job. We pressure-test every run during the walkthrough and tell you straight which category your house is in. We'd rather quote the right job once than the easy job twice.
Maybe — it depends on your carrier and policy. The original polybutylene class-action settlement closed years ago, but several carriers still pay for partial or full removals as a loss-prevention measure when they flag the pipe at renewal. Call your carrier and ask before scheduling work; if they cover it, they'll usually want a written scope and a closed final permit, both of which we provide. We don't bill insurance directly, but the paperwork is set up so you can submit it cleanly.
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.
Slab and crawlspace runs are common partial-repipe targets — both can be replaced without touching the bulk of the house. Under-slab failures are usually addressed by abandoning the failed line and rerouting a new PEX run through accessible space — overhead, through a wall, or through the crawl. Crawlspace runs we can typically replace in place. We confirm the route at the walkthrough and tell you about any unusual access work before quoting.
It depends on which runs are being replaced, how accessible they are, and how many fixtures tie in. After the walkthrough you get a written estimate with each run listed individually, so you see exactly what's included. The estimate is free — and if a whole-home repipe is the smarter math for your house, we'll show you both numbers side by side.
Yes. Oregon requires a permit any time supply lines are replaced, regardless of how much of the system is being touched. We pull the permit, schedule the rough-in inspection before walls close, and close out the final — you coordinate nothing with the city. The closed permit gives the work a clean paper trail, which matters when you sell.
We serve most of the Portland metro area — typically within 20 miles of SE Portland.
