How It Works | SOS Plumbing

When water is spreading through your home, the last thing you need is a complicated process. We built SOS Plumbing around speed: one call or one ZIP search, and a vetted local plumber is on the way.

Call or search your ZIP code

Call our 24/7 line or enter your ZIP code on the home page. A real dispatcher answers right away — no phone trees and no waiting on hold.

We match you with a top-rated local pro

We search licensed plumbers in your area and surface the highest-rated, most-reviewed professional who is available to respond to your emergency now.

A licensed plumber is dispatched

Your details are passed to the plumber, who heads straight to your location. Most metropolitan areas see a plumber arrive within 30 to 60 minutes.

Approve the price, then the work begins

You receive a clear price quote before any work starts. There are no surprise charges, and you are never obligated to proceed.

Why it is faster than searching on your own

Instead of calling shop after shop and hoping someone picks up, you reach one 24/7 line that already knows which licensed plumbers in your area are available and well rated. We do the searching so you can focus on containing the problem.
