GRUMPYS DRAINS

read moreGrumpy's Drains does not perform plumbing. We just clean your drains. There are two types of piping in your house: supply pipes that brings water into your house, and drain waste lines that take the water and waste out of there. Grumpy's deals specifically with getting that stuff out of your house. Plumbing deals with the design, installation, and repair of the plumbing system. We just clean your line and get it back to where it was. The benefit of using a company that only does drain cleaning is that we're very efficient in what we do and we won't try to upsell you into a plumbing job.

Our name is "Grumpy's Drains" because we figure people get grumpy when their drains are clogged! Our mascot, Grumpy, is a buffalo and he is tough on drains! We like to keep things a little bit light because people aren't always in the best mood when they call us, so we do what we can to put a smile on people's faces. The owners, Keith and Rita, are originally from Tennessee, but moved to Oregon 28 years ago because they loved the people, the attitude, and all the wonderful outdoor activities in Portland and the surrounding areas.

Using a cable, or snake as some people call it, will open a line and get your waste water moving again, but hydrojetting will clean your line by scouring out the debris and rust buildup with high pressure water, which is the most efficient way to clean your line. The first step we take when we look at a line is to run a flow test. Sometimes a line will be running slowly, but not completely clogged. Debris like hair, soap, makeup, grease, lint or food, over time can build up in a line and cause a restriction.
