What installation work includes
New fixtures
Sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, laundry hookups and outdoor spigots set and tested.
Remodel and addition rough-in
Supply and drain lines run to new bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.
Gas lines
Gas piping for ranges, dryers, fireplaces and outdoor appliances, tested before use.
Sump and ejector pumps
Pumps for basements and lower-level baths that drain upward to the main line.
Water treatment hookups
Connections for a softener or a filter, once you know what your water needs.
New construction
Rough-in and finish plumbing for builders and owner-builders.
Permits, code and finding a plumber you can verify
Plumbing work in Oregon is governed by the Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code, and permits run through the city. Wilsonville's online portal for building, plumbing, mechanical and fire permits does not state when a permit is required, so ask the Wilsonville building division before you start.
To check any contractor yourself, the Oregon Construction Contractors Board offers a contractor license search, and the Building Codes Division has a license holder search for plumbers. A contractor who welcomes the check is a good sign.

Call and describe the project. A technician gives you a clear price before work starts.
Installing plumbing in Wilsonville homes
Wilsonville is still building, with Villebois still under construction and Frog Pond's three subdivisions underway, so rough-in and finish plumbing for new homes and additions are a regular part of the work. In an established home in Charbonneau, a remodel often means tying new lines into older pipe, and we check what is behind the walls first.
Water treatment questions come up often. The city's annual report does not list a hardness figure, so test your tap or ask the utility for its water quality report before choosing a softener, and we can then plumb in whatever you decide on.
Before any excavation for a new line, call 811 so underground utilities are marked.
Gas lines, sump pumps and safety
Gas work has no margin for error. We pressure test new gas piping before it is used, and we do not promise a response time for gas leaks because the right first move is to leave the building and call your gas utility or 911.
A sump or ejector pump moves water from a low point to a drain or the outdoors. A pump needs a check valve, a proper discharge path and power that stays on, and a basement pump with no backup is a risk during a storm.
| Project | Plan ahead for | Common question |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel | Drain location, venting, shutoff valves | Can the toilet move? |
| Kitchen remodel | Sink, dishwasher and disposal hookups, gas range line | Is the supply line big enough? |
| Addition | New supply and drain runs, a tie-in at the main | Where does the drain connect? |
| Basement bath | Ejector pump or gravity drain | Is there enough drop to the main? |
| Outdoor kitchen | Gas, water, drain and freeze protection | Where does the line shut off for winter? |
What affects the price of an installation
A clear price comes before work starts. These are the main details.

A new water heater is covered under water heater installation, and pipes that are too old to tie into may lead to repiping. We also take installation work in Sherwood and the surrounding towns.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the work, and the city's portal page does not say. Ask the Wilsonville building division before starting.
Often yes, but it depends on where the drain and vent can run. We check the framing and the main line before quoting.
Yes, for ranges, dryers and other appliances. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility or 911 first.
Yes. We set the pump, the check valve and the discharge, and we discuss a backup.
We plumb in softeners and filters. Test your tap or ask the utility for its water report first to see what your water needs.
