Pipes fail without warning. A drain backs up at the worst time. A water heater that ran fine yesterday stops producing hot water this morning. AC Services and Plumbing handles all of it for homeowners and renters across Camas, from the quick fix to the job that takes most of a day. Work is performed by licensed plumbers who show up prepared and treat the property with care. Same-day appointments are often available, and the price is explained before anything is scheduled.
Landlords and commercial property managers in Camas have the same needs, just more of them. A rental unit that loses hot water needs attention before a tenant calls again. A retail space or light commercial building that has a drain backing up cannot wait a week. We handle plumbing work across all of it, residential and commercial alike, and we are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Call (360) 492-4454 and we will confirm what we can do for your address.
The price for a plumbing job is shaped by what the fault actually turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A dripping faucet that is easy to access is a different job from the same faucet behind a wall that has not been opened in decades. A main line clog that clears with a snake is different from one that requires a camera inspection and a section of pipe pulled out. Those are the things that move a quote, and we explain them on the call so you are not guessing at the cost before anyone arrives.
When you call, we ask about the situation and give you a clear price before anything is booked. No-pressure estimates, priced up front. If the plumber opens something and finds a related problem that needs addressing before the original repair can be completed, that scope is explained and priced before any additional work begins. Nothing is added without your agreement. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer.
Call this morning. Get a straight answer today. That is how we work.
Older homes in the area were often plumbed with galvanized steel supply lines that corrode from the inside over time. As the interior narrows, pressure drops and leaks develop at the joints. When the same stretch of pipe is failing in multiple places, a whole-home repipe in copper or PEX addresses the root problem rather than patching failures as they appear. We pull the permit, we plumb it to code, and we stand behind it.
A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than keeping a full tank warm around the clock, which suits the energy-conscious households common across this region. We assess the existing gas or water line connections, confirm the right unit size for the household's demand, and handle the full installation in a single visit. If you are replacing an aging tank unit, we will walk you through whether a tankless system fits your home and your usage before anything is scheduled.
A disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks at the base, or simply stops responding is a common kitchen problem. We diagnose the fault on the same visit and either repair the unit or replace it with a correctly sized model for the sink. Installation includes checking the drain connection and confirming the unit is wired and seated correctly before we leave.
A new appliance installation is straightforward until the supply line does not match the shutoff valve, or the drain connection sits in the wrong position for the new unit. We handle the plumbing side of appliance hookups, including supply line replacement, shutoff valve upgrades, and drain connections that meet code. Getting it right at installation avoids the leak behind the machine that goes unnoticed until the floor is already damaged.
A faucet that drips after being turned off wastes water on every cycle. A tap that is seized or difficult to operate is often a sign that the internal cartridge or seat has worn past the point where adjustment will hold. We repair and replace faucets throughout the house, including kitchen and bathroom fixtures, outdoor hose bibs, and utility room taps. Where a shutoff valve behind the fixture is corroded or stuck, we replace that at the same time so the repair holds.
Hard freezes are uncommon across this part of the Pacific Northwest, but exposed pipes in uninsulated spaces can still be vulnerable during the occasional cold stretch. If a pipe has frozen and is not yet burst, thawing it correctly prevents the situation from becoming a rupture. If it has already split, we locate the damaged section, repair or replace it, and check the surrounding run for stress before closing up.
We are open every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and same-day service is often available for both urgent and non-urgent calls. When you phone, we ask about the situation and confirm availability for your address. If the problem is urgent, we prioritize accordingly. If it is a planned job or a repair that can wait a day or two, we schedule an appointment that fits your calendar.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational during the visit, we work around that. A plumber who needs access to a specific fixture or shutoff can often complete the job without disrupting the rest of the building. For multi-unit properties, we coordinate access with whoever manages it so the visit goes smoothly. Calls are answered here, and the job gets booked properly.
Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and the answer is usually before the situation gets worse. A slow drain, a water stain on the ceiling below a bathroom, or a water heater that is taking longer than usual to recover are all worth a call. We diagnose the fault, explain what we find, and carry out the repair on the same visit where the scope allows. Sewer line service and inspection, shutoff valve replacement, and backflow prevention work all fall into this category.
Some jobs are replacements rather than repairs. A toilet that is running constantly or rocking at the base, a water heater that is past its useful life, or a faucet that has been repaired twice already are situations where replacement is the more practical answer. We handle toilet repair and replacement, full fixture swaps, and water-saving fixture upgrades that suit the conservation priorities common across this region. The full breakdown of what each replacement involves is on the service page.
A bathroom renovation, a kitchen update, or an appliance changeover all have a plumbing component that needs to be done before the finish work goes in. We handle the rough-in and the final connections for planned installations, and we coordinate with the project timeline so the plumbing does not become the thing that holds up everything else. Code-compliant plumbing on a planned job means no rework when the inspector comes through.

our plumbing work page explains the range of work covered.
Before a plumber arrives, knowing where your main shutoff valve is can limit how much water ends up somewhere it should not. In most Camas homes, the main shutoff is near the water meter, often at the front of the property close to the street, or inside the home where the supply line enters the foundation. Turning it clockwise closes it and stops water flowing to the whole house.
For a problem at a single fixture, most toilets have a shutoff valve on the supply line behind the base. Sinks usually have shutoff valves under the cabinet, one for hot and one for cold. Turning those closes water to just that fixture without affecting the rest of the house. If a water heater is leaking, the cold water inlet valve on top of the unit can be closed independently.
While you wait, avoid running water anywhere in the house if a drain is backing up. That pushes the problem further into the line. For a visible leak, a towel or bucket limits the spread while you wait. Call us at (360) 492-4454 and we will walk you through what to do before the plumber arrives.
We serve Camas and the surrounding area across Clark County. If your home or property is in Washougal, Fern Prairie, Fairview, Wood Village, or Troutdale, we cover those addresses too. Same-day availability applies across the service area, not just within the city.
For homeowners in Camas, that means a plumber who knows the kind of housing and the kind of work that comes out of a city this size. For landlords managing properties across multiple communities, it means one call covers the whole portfolio. We work with property managers throughout Clark County and handle the coordination that keeps a repair from becoming a disruption for tenants.
We'll make your plumbing sound again.
In most cases, yes. Work on a single fixture or a drain line typically does not disrupt the rest of the house. If we need to shut off the main supply for a portion of the job, we coordinate that with you so it does not catch anyone off guard.
Clark County sits in a seismically active region, and an automatic gas shutoff valve is a practical safeguard for any home with a natural gas connection. The valve mounts on the gas line at the meter and closes automatically when it detects seismic movement above a set threshold, stopping gas flow before a disruption to the line becomes a larger problem. It is a straightforward installation, and we handle the permit where one is required.
Not usually. A sewer line inspection runs a camera through the line from a cleanout access point, which is typically located outside the home or in a utility area. The plumber works from that access point without needing to move through the living areas of the house. If a cleanout is not accessible or is not present, we will explain what is needed before the visit.
A repair that does not hold is usually a sign that the underlying cause was not fully addressed. A drain that clears and then backs up again often has a buildup or a root intrusion further down the line. A leak that reappears at the same spot may indicate that the pipe material around the repair is also failing. We look at the full picture rather than just the visible symptom.
Call us and we can discuss how to handle multiple properties. We work with landlords and property managers who manage more than one address, and we can coordinate scheduling and paperwork in a way that makes sense for how you operate.
If your insurer needs documentation of the work performed, let us know when you call. We can discuss what information is typically useful for a claim and make sure the paperwork from the job reflects what was done accurately.
Yes, though shared access points can involve additional coordination. If the pipe runs under a surface that is jointly owned or maintained, we factor that into the scope of the work and discuss it with you before anything is dug up or accessed.
Yes, we give you a price on the call before anything is scheduled. We ask about the situation, and once we understand the scope, we confirm the rate so you know what you are looking at before a plumber is dispatched.
