A higher water bill or a soggy patch in the yard can point to a leak past the meter. In Grants Pass, finding and fixing that leak is up to the property owner. The sewer lateral, the pipe out to the city main, is the owner's private line too. Nearly half the homes in town were built before 1980, so many of these lines have real age on them.

We handle drain cleaning and water heater repair here, plus sewer lines, septic systems, leaks and water damage. Call or text (541) 734-9000, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Census figures show about 1 in 13 Grants Pass homes went up before 1940. About 4 in 10 more were built between 1940 and the late 1970s. Sewer pipe that old can crack or let roots in at the joints.
The city has replaced several aging sewer mains of its own in recent years. Its sewer standards call the line from a house to the public main a private sewer lateral. They list root intrusion, broken pipe, crushed pipe and water leakage as defects. The same standards call for at least 6 feet of cover over a new lateral at the property line.
The usual first step is a camera look down the line to find the trouble. For an old or deep lateral, we offer trenchless replacement. In pipe bursting, a steel bursting head breaks the old pipe and pulls new HDPE pipe in behind it. Our trenchless sewer line repair needs very little digging, and we open a trench when a job calls for one.
City sewer mains run under Grants Pass, and the city's Water Restoration Plant treats what flows through them. Out past the mains, homes rely on septic systems. Not sure which you have? DEQ keeps septic records for Josephine County, searchable online by parcel number.
Oregon DEQ handles home septic permits for Josephine County from its Medford office. A site evaluation comes before any new system. Repairs and alterations need permits too, and adding an ADU to a septic system needs an authorization notice.
Our septic services cover pumping, repairs, tank replacement and new installs. We handle the site prep and set tanks with our excavators and backhoes.
NOAA weather records for 1991 to 2020 put Grants Pass at about 31 inches of rain a year. Medford's airport gauge averages about 18 inches. About three quarters of the Grants Pass total falls from November through March. December is the wettest month, at about 6.5 inches.
Much of town sits on sandy soil weathered from granite. One of the most common soils in the city, Clawson sandy loam, is poorly drained. NRCS puts its water table 1 to 3 feet down from November to June. That water can work its way into crawl spaces and cracked sewer pipe.
When water gets inside, our restoration team handles water extraction and drying. For a crawl space that stays wet, we install sump pumps and vapor barriers.
The city pumps its drinking water from the Rogue River and treats it at its own plant. A replacement treatment plant is in the works. Most meters sit in a concrete box in the sidewalk or the landscape strip out front.
A leak on the house side can hide under a slab or out in the yard. We track it down with leak detection, then repair the line.
NOAA counts about 65 freezing nights a year in Grants Pass. For winter, the city says to loosely wrap pipes and faucets with insulation. It also says to leave the relief port on an RP backflow assembly unwrapped. If a pipe does freeze and burst, call or text us.

Got our water heater changed out this evening and the whole process was smooth. From setting up an appointment, communication, and the service. Marcos our technician that installed the water heater was great and made sure we got everything we needed in a timely manner. Recommend hukills to anyone looking for a quick or detailed repair!
Brandon and Colton did an outstanding job fixing our clogged sinks. They arrived within three hours of our call, were professional and courteous, and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. They explained everything clearly and left the work area clean when they were finished. We really appreciated their prompt response and excellent service. I highly recommend Hukill's to anyone looking for reliable, efficient plumbers.
After we had our septic tank pumped by Tristan this morning and then Brandon,Kayden and "G" the excavator operator came out to do an septic line investigation. I was very appreciative of them explaining and answering all my questions. I would definitely request them to help us again. Thank you all for all your hard work.
Excellent commercial service from Hukill's. Zack arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and kept us fully updated every step of the way. He took great care of our property and treated our business with total professionalism. We will definitely use them again.
Hukills is great, our go to plumber going forward. We had a major water line break at our house on a Saturday evening. They were able to quickly dispatch a plumber who immediately identified the issue and fixed the cracked pipe and associated joints. Couldn't recommend them more. Thank you Marcos!
When we found out we had a broken pipe under our house, I called Hukill's to give me an estimate for the repair. The response time on the bid was pretty quick and they were able to schedule the job later the same week. Tristan did a great job taking care of pumping out the standing water and was very personable. Sal and Miguel were absolutely phenomenal. The crawl space is pretty tight, and those two men had their work cut out for them in getting the area cleaned up and prepped for the plumber. They were incredibly hardworking and super friendly. We were very impressed. Next, Wes and Isaac came to do the actual plumbing repair. They were outstanding at quickly addressing the problem and keeping us up to date on what they were doing. Fantastic job! We were very impressed with the whole crew.
