Plumbing Help in Greenway
The Greenway area of south Beaverton takes its name from Greenway Park, an 87-acre park run by Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District between SW Hall Boulevard and SW Scholls Ferry Road. The paved Fanno Creek Trail runs through it, and the neighborhoods around it, in the 97008 ZIP code, sit close to the creek and its wetlands.
Living near water has its benefits, but it also shapes the plumbing problems homes face here. The trail underpass at Scholls Ferry Road is known to flood during heavy rain, which tells you a lot about how wet the ground in this part of town can get through a long Oregon winter.
Plumbing calls we get near Fanno Creek
Wet ground means groundwater, and groundwater means sump pumps. Homes with basements or crawlspaces in lower-lying parts of the area rely on them through the rainy months. When a float switch sticks or a discharge line clogs during a storm, water rises fast. We get those pumps running again and check that the discharge carries water well away from the foundation.
Saturated soil also puts pressure on sewer laterals. Cracked or separated joints let groundwater seep into the line, and roots from the area's many trees work their way in. The result is slow drains in dry weather and backups when it rains hard, often first noticed at a floor drain or a downstairs toilet.
Who supplies Greenway homes
Water here is supplied by the City of Beaverton or by Tualatin Valley Water District, depending on the street, and your bill shows which one. Sewer service is part of the Clean Water Services system that covers urban Washington County. The utility maintains the main under the street, and the lateral from your house to it is the homeowner's responsibility.
Natural gas comes from NW Natural. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call NW Natural or 911 from outside. Once the area is safe, we repair the damaged line.

Questions
Greenway Plumbing FAQs
Why does my floor drain back up when it rains?
When the ground is saturated, groundwater can enter a cracked sewer lateral and overload it, and a partial blockage makes it worse. We clear the line and check its condition.
How can I tell if my sump pump is working?
Slowly pour a bucket of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should start, the water should drain and the pump should shut off. If it does not, call us before the next storm.
