GOOD TO KNOWWhich Tualatin neighborhoods and commercial areas does Sherwood Plumbing serve?
We serve Tualatin Commons and the downtown core, the area near Bridgeport Village, the SW Nyberg Street and SW Boones Ferry Road corridors, Tualatin Community Park and the Lake of the Commons area, and the SW 65th Avenue corridor.
Tualatin Commons and downtown core. Mix of older residential and commercial. Common calls: water heater replacements, drain work, gas line hookups on restaurant remodels.
Near Bridgeport Village. The newer commercial and residential density along the I-5 corridor. Many townhomes and condos with common plumbing issues specific to multi-family: shared venting, stacked bathrooms, shared wall plumbing.
Along SW Nyberg Street and SW Boones Ferry Road. Older residential corridors. Homes ranging from 1960s ranches to newer infill. Original copper is common; some stretches of galvanized still feeding older bathrooms.
Tualatin Community Park and Lake of the Commons area. Established residential with mature trees. Sewer laterals here often contend with root intrusion.
SW 65th Avenue corridor. Mix of residential and light commercial.
OUR PROCESSHow does Tualatin's housing stock affect plumbing issues?
Tualatin’s housing spans 1970s copper-supply subdivisions, 1980s-90s developments with pressure-balancing shower valves nearing cartridge replacement age, post-2000 PEX builds, and commercial kitchens with grease-trap and backflow needs. Tualatin’s housing stock skews newer than Sherwood’s. Most of the city developed heavily from the 1970s onward, with continued build-out through the 90s and 2000s:
1970s subdivisions. Copper supply, PVC or ABS drain, cast iron main stacks in some. First wave of water heater replacements came through in the 2000s, many units from that wave are now themselves at end of life.
1980s and 1990s developments. Copper supply predominant, transitioning to PEX by late 90s. Bathrooms from this era often have single-handle pressure-balancing shower valves that are now at the age where cartridge replacement becomes routine.
Post-2000 builds, including townhomes and condos near Bridgeport. PEX supply, mostly low-maintenance at this age but with fitting-related issues in some 2003-2010 installs.
Commercial kitchens and restaurants in the downtown core and near Bridgeport. These have specific plumbing needs: grease traps, high-temp dishwasher connections, backflow preventers for ice machines and water service.

Our office is a short drive from anywhere in Tualatin. A few minutes on SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road gets us into town. We’re working in Tualatin most days of the week, so scheduling is typically straightforward.
THE DETAILSWater heater repair and replacement in Tualatin, OR
Tualatin is the closest city to our Sherwood office, and water heaters are the call we run there most. Supply and install starts at $950, with a written price before any work begins. We don’t quote water heaters over the phone — “no hot water” covers everything from a $180 thermostat to a full replacement, and you deserve to know which one you’re looking at before you commit.
Repair or replace? Age is the deciding factor. Past 10 years, replacement is usually the better spend. Under 5 years with a single failed component, repair almost always wins. Thermostats, elements, thermocouples, and anode rods are repairs. A leaking tank seam is not — once the lining fails, the tank is done.
What we see in Tualatin. The 1970s–80s stock off SW Boones Ferry Road and around SW Nyberg Street is now well past the point where original tanks survive, so most of that work is replacement rather than repair. Newer construction near Tualatin Commons and the Bridgeport Village side more often needs a repair or a straightforward like-for-like swap. Homes on well or hard water anywhere in the area benefit from an anode rod check — it’s cheap, it’s often skipped, and it’s the difference between a tank lasting 8 years and 14.
Tankless conversion. Sensible where hot water demand overlaps — multiple bathrooms running at once — or where you want the floor space back in a tight utility room. Less compelling for a smaller household whose current tank keeps up fine. Conversions usually need gas line and venting rework, so plan on a full day rather than a morning. We’ll confirm your gas supply can carry the unit before you buy anything.
What a replacement includes. Haul-away of the old unit, new supply connections, drain pan, seismic strapping where required, and the permit. Tualatin water heater replacements are permitted through Washington County — we pull it and meet the inspector.
We’re roughly 10 minutes from most Tualatin addresses, so same-day is normal rather than exceptional.
ABOUT SHERWOOD PLUMBINGAbout the shop
Sherwood Plumbing has been running since 2013 under Devin Drew Adams. We’re headquartered in Sherwood, the only plumbing company actually based in town. Our techs know the housing stock around here: the 1970s gas tank in a Sherwood ranch, the 2015 tankless in a Villebois build, the electric tank in a Cedar Hills postwar home. That local knowledge is the difference between a diagnosis that takes 20 minutes and one that takes two hours.
We carry $1,000,000 in general liability through Contractors Bonding & Insurance. Oregon CCB license #200851 (Plumbing, Residential RGC General Contractor). PB1381 with the Oregon Building Codes Division. $25,000 surety bond. 220 Google reviews at 4.7 stars.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSFrequently asked questions
We work in Tualatin almost every business day. It’s the closest city to our Sherwood office and one of our largest service areas.
Yes. Repipes in Tualatin are typically PEX replacing copper where pinhole leaks have become routine. We assess, quote, and schedule. Usually a 2 to 4 day job depending on house size and access.
Light commercial, yes. Restaurants, retail, office buildouts. Backflow assembly repair and replacement is a regular category for commercial service. (We do not do annual backflow certification testing — that requires a separate state certification.)
One of our field technicians, typically Devin, Austin, or Chase, in a marked Sherwood Plumbing truck.
Yes. Oregon CCB #200851 covers all Oregon jurisdictions. We pull permits in Tualatin when required (gas work, water heater replacements, larger repairs).
Supply and install starts at $950 for a standard tank. Capacity, whether the gas line or venting needs rework, and access drive the rest. We price it on site in writing before starting — no phone quotes on water heaters.
Usually same-day or next-day. Tualatin is about 10 minutes from our Sherwood office and we work there nearly every business day, so a failed tank rarely means waiting. Call 503-822-5070 and tell the office it’s a water heater — that gets triaged differently from routine work.
Yes — both new tankless installs and tank-to-tankless conversions, including Rinnai units. A tankless water heater makes most sense in Tualatin homes with overlapping hot water demand or a utility room you’d rather get back. The honest caveat is that most conversions need the gas line resized and the venting reworked, so a tankless install is a full-day job where a tank swap is a morning. We check whether your gas supply can carry the unit before you spend anything on it.
