We are an emergency plumber based in Costa Mesa, California. The phone is answered around the clock for houses, condos, apartments and businesses in every part of Orange County.
Set up for the night something breaks
SoCal Emergency Plumbing Costa Mesa exists for the hour a supply line splits, a toilet will not stop running over, or the water heater lets go in the garage. Someone talks you through closing the right valve, and a plumber sets out from the closest of our 10 locations in the county.
Costa Mesa houses from the 1950s to the 1970s sitting on concrete slabs, Eastside blocks with big trees and old sewer laterals, condo buildings where several units drain into one stack: this is the housing we work in every week, and we look inside the line before anyone prices a repair.
Licensed & bonded
California contractor license #1131308 in the C-36 Plumbing classification, backed by a $25,000 contractor bond.
Answered 24/7
A real person takes the call at night, on weekends and on holidays.

Careful work

What you can hold us to
A straight answer
We tell you what failed and why, in everyday words, and we do not push work the house does not need.
The price before the work
The full price is written down and agreed before anything starts, and it does not climb because a job runs long.
Workmanship warranty
Repairs and installs come with a written workmanship warranty. If our work does not hold, we return and correct it.
The plumbing work we do
Most of what we do is urgent: a heater that died overnight, a kitchen drain that clogs again a week after it was cleared, a slab leak pushing up the Mesa Water bill, or worn galvanized pipe that has run out of life. Each one has a page of its own that lists the warning signs and walks through how we do the job.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing
Split pipes, flooding and leaks that cannot wait, at any hour.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Blockages cleared, then a camera run to show the line is open wall to wall.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Tank and tankless heaters fixed or replaced, strapped and vented to California code.
Sewer Repair & Repiping
Sewer laterals repaired or replaced, trenchless where the pipe allows, plus repipes of the whole house.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair
Gas lines tested, leaks located and repaired, and the line readied for SoCalGas to turn service back on.
Where we work
Our base is Costa Mesa, and with 10 locations in Orange County the plumber comes from the closest one, with 24-hour emergency response. Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Tustin, Westminster and Garden Grove each have a page here, and the other cities of the county are covered all the same.
License, bond and permits
California license #1131308
The license belongs to SoCal Plumbing Co Inc, in the C-36 Plumbing classification. Look it up on the CSLB website before you let anyone into your home.
$25,000 contractor bond
Filed with the CSLB, so an HOA board or a property manager can check it next to the license.
Permits when the code calls for them
Heater swaps, repipes, lateral work and gas lines get permitted and inspected through the City of Costa Mesa, through the other cities that require it, and through the County of Orange on unincorporated land.
Written workmanship warranty
Every repair and install has one, and its terms are printed on your estimate or invoice. When our work fails, the fix is on us.
