Eugene is Oregon’s second largest city and one of the most diverse commercial markets in the state. We bring Portland-grade commercial plumbing, civil, and trenchless utility crews to the University of Oregon, PeaceHealth Sacred Heart, Lane County government, and the dense student housing and industrial properties that make up the rest of the city.

Eugene is unlike anywhere else we serve. In a city of about 177,000 people, you find a Pac-12 research university, a regional Level II trauma center, the seat of Lane County government, one of the densest student housing markets in the state, and a working industrial corridor along Highway 99 still tied to the Pacific Northwest’s timber and forest products heritage. Few commercial contractors in the local market are built to cover all of that.
Lovett Services is. The same crews that rebuild sanitary mains under Portland State, replace risers in apartment towers along the South Waterfront, dig stormwater retrofits at industrial sites in Rivergate, and run hydro excavation around active OHSU facilities are the crews we deploy to the University of Oregon, the RiverBend medical campus, multifamily portfolios near campus, and the manufacturing facilities west of downtown Eugene.
Because Eugene is a two to two and a half hour haul down I-5 from our Portland yard, we are honest about how we work here. Our Eugene business is built on scheduled projects, planned maintenance contracts, large mobilizations, and portfolio-level relationships. Property managers who plan their work get top-tier capability they can’t always source locally. We are not pitching ourselves as a midnight emergency vendor, and that clarity is part of why our Eugene clients keep us.
A complete portfolio of in-house capability that property managers across Eugene and Lane County can rely on. One contract, one accountable team, every major commercial system.
Installation, repair, maintenance, leak detection, and water service for university buildings, healthcare facilities, multifamily complexes, and west Eugene industrial properties. Includes backflow testing and sump pump service.
Rooter service, high-pressure jetting, sewer camera inspection, grease trap cleaning, and preventative maintenance programs sized for high-density student housing and campus dining.
Hydro excavation, stormwater system maintenance, debris extraction, waste removal, and confined space support for industrial and institutional clients.
Site work, grading, trenching, sewer rehab, pipe bursting, concrete, and demolition.
HDD, trenchless conduit installation. PGE Certified. Useful around mature campus landscaping.
Structural drying, mold remediation, and restoration for planned mitigation projects.
Turnkey commercial EV charging infrastructure: power and communications drilling, concrete pad construction, and full charger installation for multifamily, retail, and fleet properties.
Eugene’s commercial infrastructure was largely built between the 1940s and 1970s in a city that has roughly doubled in population since then. Older corridors (downtown, the area east of the University of Oregon, the west Eugene industrial belt along Highway 99) routinely surface clay tile sewer, asbestos cement water lines, and undocumented utility runs the first time a trench opens. Our standard approach to Eugene work is to start with camera inspection and hydro excavation rather than assuming the as-built drawings reflect what is actually in the ground.
The McKenzie River watershed, EWEB’s source water territory, drives stricter erosion control, stormwater compliance, and DEQ documentation than many comparable Oregon cities. A contractor who has not worked under a 1200-C or 1200-CN construction stormwater permit will lose days on the first inspection. We pull these permits in our own name, maintain the SWPPP and BMPs, and keep inspection records ready for the desk at Eugene Public Works.
Campus and healthcare work in Eugene also runs on calendars outside the contractor’s control. University of Oregon facility access tightens during finals, commencement, and home football weekends. PeaceHealth Sacred Heart and the surrounding clinical buildings have patient-care areas that cannot tolerate noise or dust intrusions. We plan Eugene projects around these calendars from the first scoping conversation, scheduling shutdown windows and after-hours work where the building requires it.
We serve Eugene and Lane County. We also serve these nearby communities:
When you bring a contractor 110 miles down I-5, the work better be worth the haul. Here’s what Eugene clients are buying when they hire Lovett.
We're built for the property manager who owns dozens of buildings or runs an entire campus, not one-off service calls. Our Eugene clients sign annual maintenance agreements and capital project schedules so we know their assets cold.
Every Eugene truck roll arrives with the full Lovett kit: plumbing, drain, vac truck, hydro excavation, directional drilling, civil, and mitigation capability in the same crew. One mobilization covers what would otherwise be three or four separate contractors.
CCB #125507, fully insured, PGE-certified for power conduit installation, and every project covered by our 1-year workmanship warranty. Eugene work is held to the exact same standard as our Portland metro projects.
Real reviews from property managers and business owners across the Pacific Northwest.
“These guys were extraordinary — Gary and his crew worked through the night to restore water and sewage to 26 homes. A dedicated crew that didn’t clock out until every house was up and running.”
Columbia Way West
“We use Lovett often, always calling when we’re in a pinch. The team always steps up. Ken and Andrew always come through, 100% of the time. There is nothing these guys can’t do.”
Multi-Family Property Owner
“As a facilities professional it’s always a pleasure to work with contractors who know their business. Charges were in line with expectations and the quality was first rate. An outstanding choice.”
Facilities Professional
Yes. Eugene sits roughly 110 miles south of our Portland hub on I-5, and we routinely mobilize crews, vac trucks, and directional drilling equipment down the corridor for scheduled projects, planned maintenance contracts, and pre-booked repair work across Lane County. Our model in Eugene is built around advance scheduling rather than rapid 24/7 dispatch, which lets us deliver Portland-level expertise to facilities the local contractor pool can’t always cover.
Absolutely. Lovett has decades of experience servicing the same property types Eugene has in abundance: dense university campuses, regional hospital systems, large multifamily portfolios, and active industrial facilities. The plumbing risers, sanitary mains, grease interceptors, vac truck staging, and trenchless utility installs we run for clients across the Portland metro translate directly to projects at the University of Oregon, PeaceHealth Sacred Heart, and the surrounding clinical and academic facilities.
For pre-scheduled work, we hit the date you book. For unexpected calls, plan on a two to two and a half hour mobilization window from our Portland yard, which is the honest haul time down I-5. Because of that distance, we strongly recommend Eugene clients lock in planned maintenance agreements, semiannual jetting and camera inspections, and project-scale capital work rather than relying on us as a true 24/7 emergency contractor. We are very transparent about what we are and aren’t the right fit for.
Yes. We pull permits with the City of Eugene Public Works and Building Permit Services and coordinate with Lane County on right-of-way work, EWEB tie-ins, and projects touching public infrastructure. Our project managers handle the paperwork, traffic control plans, and inspection scheduling so your facilities team isn’t chasing the permit office while a project is in flight.
Both, but with a strong preference for scoped, scheduled work rather than one-off small repairs. Our sweet spot in Eugene is planned maintenance contracts, multi-property portfolio agreements, capital repairs on student housing and healthcare campuses, and civil and trenchless utility projects that justify a full crew mobilization. Smaller repairs are absolutely fine when they’re part of an ongoing relationship or bundled with other Lane County work on the same day.
Tell us what you need and when you need it. We’ll mobilize a Portland-grade crew down I-5 with the full kit: plumbing, drains, hydro excavation, directional drilling, and civil work, all on the date you set.
