Petersen Plumbing

Plumbing, Drain Cleaning, Water Heaters,

About us

For the best service please give us a call at (541) 343-9339. We're a family owned and operated business, covering Eugene and Springfield, Oregon and the surrounding areas. We specialize in plumbing repair, small remodels, as well as sewer and drain cleaning, repair and replacement. Our current business form started in 1979, when Bernard Petersen took over the Petersen Plumbing business name from his father, Austin Petersen, a long-time businessman in the area. Austin started his primary business, Austin 1-Stop Plumbing, in 1946, and operated it until he sold the name to Bernard in 1999. Currently, Austin Plumbing and Petersen Plumbing are operating as affiliated businesses, and both names can be seen on our trucks. Austin's father, Alex, worked some in the business in the early years, and Bernard's brothers Greg and Kurt work today. Bernard's sons are currently apprentices, and his nieces and nephews have occasionally been seen helping as well, when their studies and schedules permit. Truly a 4th generation business, we look forward to welcoming the 5th generation in just a few short years!

I had a great deal of difficulty tracking where the leak came from and it had already started to do damage to the wall. Finally, I was able to narrow it down to the toilet. The origin of the leak wasn't obvious. With a good deal of trepidation I called for a plumber because I was stumped. Greg from Austin 1-Stop Plumbing arrived and set right to work. He had to remove the toilet, clear a clog, fix the leak at the drain and break into the tiled wall to fix the leak in the water intake pipe. I had three problems! It was quite an operation, for which he called his wife in to help with the tile replacement. I was impressed with how quickly he worked. He had to make a lot of repairs and was able to fix the multiple issues, plus install a new toilet in the kid's bathroom in 3 hours. He was very friendly and informative throughout the process. I would definitely call him again.
Description of Work: I had a number of plumbing problems, some urgent some not, and so decided to combine them for a single visit. I had a serious leak with a the toilet in the master bathroom. All I knew was that something was broken in the drain. The toilet had to be evaluated and repaired. I also had a new toilet installed in the kid's bathroom.

The same person has come out to do the work every time I have used this company. He was at my house for about an hour for this trip. In the past, they also installed 3 new faucet heads for my outside water faucet and they also did a good job on that too.
Description of Work: They came out to my house to replace a leaky valve by the kitchen sink. My toilet was constantly running, so they also fixed it by adjusting the parts inside the tank of the toilet.

When I called them, we did not discuss how much it would be so when the guy showed up, he told me that they were going to charge me an extra 50 dollars for a mileage fee. I didn't understand so I was pretty unhappy with that part of it. Otherwise, the plumber did a good job and fixed my toilet fast.
Description of Work: The hose on the back of my toilet was leaking, so they replaced the hose with a newer more sturdy one.

The plumber was courteous & appeared knowledgeable. Since, I had to go as he was finishing the connections, he left the bill with my wife. There were several oddities. 1st, labor: 3 hrs @ $99.50/hr=308.50! 2nd, He charged for 2 pieces of copper flex pipe (24" @ $19.95 & 18" @ $16.95), earthquake strap @$22 ($12 elsewhere), and a "shark bite" @ $12. This was a replacement for an existing unit, so all the piping was there (and I provided another 18" piece just in case). He either used my piping (& the spare) & charged me for it, or replaced perfectly good piping & took mine. I called & they refunded the labor error, but said my pipes were either rusty (copper!) or had holes (not). I asked for a refund or return on the piping, but they only said they'd give me some other used pipe & that he had undercharged for the heater. This was a straightforward job, and shouldn't have taken 3 hrs, either. Lots of time in the truck :-(
Description of Work: An existing hot water heater was removed and replaced with a new one.

We needed a few minor repairs done quickly because we were selling the house. Austin was the plumbing company with the shortest time frame. They came out within the promised time window, and the office called in advance to let me know they were on their way. The guys worked quickly and efficiently and did the repairs in just under one hour, a perfect fit with the one-hour minimum charge.
Description of Work: Plumbers fixed the leaking shut-off valve located at the meter. Replaced faulty toilet parts and valve, replaced a broken outdoor faucet as well as a shower arm.

The work went very well. Leak stopped and preventative maintenance for future leaks completed in short time. Total time on job was 2.5 hours and material costs were only $57. He tested everything, even fixed low pressure on my sink faucet. I'd call them again if I need a pro. They know old houses and do quick work for a price that was lower than I expected to pay.
Description of Work: I discovered a slow leak in a hot water pipe in our basement ceiling on Saturday afternoon, called and made an appt. for Monday. The truck was waiting for me when I arrived home, he immediately assessed the situation (old metal) and fixed the problem. He also showed me the rust in my 70-year-old metal piping and explained why I should replace 2 sections that were doomed to fail in the near future. Said I'd save money if he did it now and he wouldn't want to come back in a few years and tear up the ceiling again to fix the same problem. He was right. The pipe he took out was bad and would not have lasted very long. Austin Plumbing knows old houses. That's why I called them. He also advised on how to dry out the wallboard & wood prior to doing any repair.

I called the number in the paper and scheduled a date four days in the future. We were pleased that we were able to schedule an early evening time to accommodate our schedules. The contractor contacted me before coming over; he came in, assessed the situations, worked through them all and did an excellent job. He explained everything as he went and the cost was very reasonable.
Description of Work: The contractor fixed a leak in the utility room, hooked up our washing machine, reworked all of the leaking pipes under the sink and didn't charge us a fortune for it.
