Plumbing & Sanitation in Oregon
Browse marine providers across Oregon. Heads, holding tanks, freshwater systems, and through-hull plumbing.
The plumbing system on a yacht is rarely glamorous but consistently the source of expensive surprises when it fails — a leaking through-hull can sink the boat, a failed holding tank pump-out leaves the head unusable, and freshwater system failures end cruising trips early. A competent marine plumber handles head and holding tank service, through-hull replacement, freshwater pump and hose work, and watermaker installation. For shop-grade work (welded stainless steel tanks, custom fittings), look for a marine fabricator.

Frequently asked
- How often should marine head joker valves be replaced?
- Joker valves (the rubber check valves in manual marine heads) typically need replacement every 1–2 years on regularly-used heads. Signs of failure include backflow from the bowl, hard pumping, and discharge odors. Replacement is a 30-minute DIY job for most popular head models.
- What is a Type III MSD?
- Type III marine sanitation devices are USCG-classified holding tank systems with no overboard discharge. They're required in no-discharge zones (most U.S. waters within 3 miles of shore, all lakes and rivers). Service involves pump-out, deodorant treatment, and periodic vent filter replacement.
