Welcome to the Northwest Plumbing Services project gallery, a practical starting point for thinking through plumbing work in St. Helens, Columbia County, and nearby Northwest communities. David and Mindy Sass have family-owned the company since 1991, and our work spans everyday repairs, fixture updates, water and drain lines, repiping, water heaters, remodels, new construction, and commercial plumbing. Use the examples here to help describe what is happening in your home or building, then contact our office so we can discuss the right next step for your property.
What to look for in a plumbing project
A useful project review starts with the problem, not a product list. Note where water appears, whether a fixture is hard to use, and what changed before the issue began. Photos of a shutoff, exposed pipe, fixture, or water heater can make an initial conversation more productive, but they do not replace an on-site assessment.
For remodels or new construction, gather your room plan, fixture locations, and any goals for access or maintenance. That information helps the office understand the scope before you make selections.
- Repairs involving pipes, faucets, toilets, or garbage disposals
- Water-line, drain-line, and repiping planning
- Tank or tankless water-heater replacement discussions
Ideas for remodels and accessible bathing
A bathroom or kitchen update is a chance to think about comfort, clearances, fixture placement, and future maintenance alongside appearance. Northwest Plumbing Services can discuss plumbing needs for remodels and new construction, including accessible low-threshold Bestbath shower options. Bring measurements and product details when you have them; the office can help identify what should be confirmed before installation.
- Consider who will use the space and how easily controls can be reached.
- Confirm drain, supply, and shutoff locations before ordering fixtures.
- Ask about site conditions when an existing layout may need to change.
Planning for homes, businesses, and larger scopes
Plumbing work can look very different in a lived-in home, a remodel, a new build, or a commercial space. A clear scope helps separate a straightforward fixture repair from work that may involve lines, repiping, or coordination with other trades. These are planning examples, not promises about a particular project or outcome.
- Describe the building type, affected area, and whether water service must be interrupted.
- Share any known age, access, or previous-repair details.
- Ask the office which options and scheduling details apply to your situation.

Questions about your project
Can I use the gallery to price my plumbing project?
No. Project photos or planning examples cannot establish a price. Contact the office with your property details and scope so the appropriate next steps can be discussed.
What information should I share when I call?
Explain the affected fixture or area, what you are seeing, the building type, and whether the work is a repair, remodel, new construction, or commercial need. Photos and measurements may also help.
