Hood River’s Trusted Home Plumbers — Since 1989
When something goes wrong with your home’s plumbing, the last thing you want is a stranger showing up with a clipboard full of surprises. At Chinook Plumbing, we’ve been taking care of Hood River homeowners — and their neighbors across the Columbia Gorge — since 1989. That’s over 35 years of showing up on time, explaining what’s actually wrong, and fixing it right the first time.
We’re a local, family-owned team. We live here too, and we treat every home we walk into the way we’d want someone to treat ours.
Residential Plumbing Services for Every Hood River Home
Whether you own a single-family home, a condo, an apartment, or a multi-family property, we’ve got you covered. Our licensed plumbers handle everything from quick repairs to full-scale projects — no job is too small or too complicated.
Some of the most common residential plumbing problems we solve every day:
- Leaky faucets and dripping fixtures — wasting water and driving up your bill
- Clogged or slow drains — in kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms
- Running or overflowing toilets — often a simple fix, but always worth getting right
- No hot water or inconsistent water temperatures — water heater repair or replacement
- Low water pressure — throughout the house or in specific fixtures
- Burst or frozen pipes — especially common during Hood River’s cold winters
- Sewer backups and drain odors — a sign your main line needs attention
- Aging or corroded pipes — we work with copper, PEX, galvanized steel, brass, and CPVC
If something’s off with your home’s plumbing and you’re not sure what it is — give us a call. We’ll figure it out.

Chinook Plumbing provides a full range of residential plumbing services throughout Hood River, The Dalles, White Salmon, and the Columbia River Gorge — including drain and sewer cleaning, water heater repair and replacement, sewer camera inspection, sewer line repair and installation, repiping, gas piping, kitchen plumbing, bathroom plumbing, backflow testing, new construction plumbing, and pump service. If it involves your home’s plumbing, we handle it.
Call a licensed plumber for any issue involving gas lines (always), sewer line problems, water heater repair or replacement, low water pressure throughout the house, multiple slow drains, visible pipe corrosion or water damage, leaks inside walls or under slabs, or anything requiring permits. Simple clogs in a single fixture can often be plunged yourself, but recurring clogs, slow drains in multiple areas, or anything involving your main line should be handled professionally.
Yes. Chinook Plumbing holds an active Oregon plumbing license (OR #240452) and is licensed to work in Washington State as well. This means we’re fully authorized to complete residential plumbing work on both sides of the Columbia River — from Hood River and The Dalles in Oregon to White Salmon and Stevenson in Washington.
Yes — always. Chinook Plumbing provides free upfront estimates before any work begins. We believe in transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start. Call (541) 386-3388 to schedule an estimate or discuss your project.
For most Hood River homeowners, a professional drain cleaning every 1–2 years is a good preventative measure — especially if you have older pipes, mature trees in your yard, or a history of slow drains. Commercial kitchens and restaurants should schedule cleaning every 3–6 months due to heavy grease buildup.
The plumbing issues we see most frequently in Hood River area homes include slow or clogged drains (especially in older homes), water heater failures (accelerated by the area’s hard water), sewer line root intrusion from mature trees, low water pressure from mineral scale buildup in aging pipes, and leaking or corroded pipes in homes built before 1980. Many older Hood River homes still have galvanized steel pipes that are well past their service life and benefit from repiping.
In most Hood River homes, the main water shutoff valve is located where the water supply enters the house — typically in a utility room, basement, crawl space, or near the water heater. It’s usually a gate valve (round wheel handle) or a ball valve (lever handle). Knowing where it is before an emergency happens is important — a burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars in damage in minutes. If you can’t find yours, call us and we’ll help you locate it.
