The short answer
The way one approaches plumbing in the early stages of a build has lasting implications for performance, durability, and cost down the road. Builders and homeowners in the Eugene and Springfield area can turn to Precision Plumbing for these decisions.
With a staff of licensed journeyman plumbers and a history of contractor-grade work, they bring a practical perspective to new construction projects, even as the firm has put more emphasis on service and repair in recent years.
Systems to Have in Place Before Breaking Ground
01
Water service line — It is important to determine what material to use and where the main will plumb into the house, as well as whether an open trench or a boring/trenchless method is called for. Precision Plumbing can take care of the installation and replacement, including the necessary permitting and coordination with the county.
02
Sewer line — Make plans for the route and where cleanouts and access will be for any future inspections. If you are tying into an existing line, a sewer camera inspection is advisable to verify its condition first.
03
Internal distribution — Select piping that will stand the test of time. In this part of the country, one still sees older galvanized piping which, as it corrodes from within, is prone to causing low water pressure. These are good topics to cover in design-build talks regarding repiping.
04
Water heating — Tank or tankless? The choice comes down to budget, energy considerations, and space. Precision Plumbing will put together a quote for either type of unit.
05
Gas piping — For gas appliances, there is the matter of proper routing and shutoffs. This should be coordinated with your general contractor and the HVAC trades, and all required permits secured.
When to Consider Trenchless or Excavation
There are times when a trenchless approach makes sense to limit site disruption and keep costs in check:
01
Trenchless sewer repair — Pipe lining and pipe bursting are techniques Precision Plumbing employs for homes in Eugene and Springfield to fix or put in a new sewer line without having to dig up the yard.
02
Water service boring — A new path can often be bored for a main service line and the pipe pulled back through, which is preferable to a full trench if one wants to leave the hardscapes and landscaping intact.
A Note on Materials in the Region
Galvanized piping is not uncommon in the older stock of Lane County and Willamette Valley homes. As the pipe degrades internally, clogs and diminished flow at the fixtures are to be expected.
Should an inspection reveal low pressure, modern repiping is the usual remedy. Precision Plumbing is equipped to handle that sort of residential and commercial repair work.
Essential Diagnostics and Inspections
01
Get a sewer camera report to document the state of the system before connecting new work; this is useful for the subcontractor and for permit files.
02
Run pressure checks to be certain the internal distribution and new service line are sized right, leak-free, and in compliance with local code.
03
Factor in time for permits on water service and other utility connections. Precision Plumbing can assist contractors with the timelines for these matters.
What to Expect From a Local Contractor
A competent plumbing company will offer a full slate of services for a new build, from water line and sewer line work, including the trenchless variety, to repiping older homes and installing water heaters.
They should also be able to coordinate with architects and the rest of the trades on site.
Some Practical Advice for the Project
01
Have an early conversation with the plumber on service routes so they can be incorporated into the foundation and grading. Good lines of communication between the plumbing team and the general contractor will save rework.
02
Older utilities warrant a diagnostic look with a camera or pressure test to get an accurate quote and avoid any unpleasantness at tie-in time.
03
If preserving the landscape is a concern, ask about trenchless options; they are becoming standard on many Lane County jobs.
04
Know who is responsible for the permits and set a schedule for water and sewer connections that fits with the overall build and your finances.
In the end, when looking for a partner for new construction or emergency repairs, it pays to compare the local field. Homeowners and small businesses in the area will often put out bids to several firms like Twin Rivers Plumbing or Tom’s Plumbing Service to see what is available.
One wants a contractor with integrity and quality workmanship. Precision Plumbing and others in the Eugene and Springfield vicinity are happy to consult on a plan that suits the requirements and budget of the Willamette Valley property in question.

I had an apparent water leak outside near my back door, the water meter indicated a 10 gal/hour leak. Montana with Precision Plumbing arrived within an hour of my call. He immediately noticed a hose bibb 20 feet away leaking a slow, steady stream. The water had run underground, under a concrete slab and surfaced 20 feet away. Tightened down the hose bibb handle and verified the leak had stopped by checking the water meter. Thanks Precision, I’ll definitely use you in the future.

Friendly, professional, did a great job re-lining our sewer so that we didn’t have to dig up the yard and remove our nice cedar tree. Cleaned up everything so you couldn’t tell anything happened. Enjoyed working with Precision.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Precision Plumbing! Our technician, Roy, was efficient, professional and friendly! We had a faucet replaced and he took extra care to check for leaks and said we could call if we had any concerns. Clogged drain was cleared as well! Very pleased with the cost of the service.
