Ours is a 24-hour emergency plumbing service run from Dana Point, the harbor city on the south coast of Orange County. Homeowners, landlords, condo owners and small businesses all over the county dial one number, and each call reaches a person.
Ready when a pipe lets go at night
SoCal Emergency Plumbing Dana Point is built around the bad night: the water heater that splits open in the garage, the toilet that will not stop filling, the ceiling stain that has started to drip. On the call, we talk you to the valve that stops it, and then a plumber heads from Dana Point to your address.
Dana Point became a city in 1989, when most of its housing was already standing: across the city, from Monarch Beach to Capistrano Beach, nearly two thirds of the homes date from the 1970s and 1980s. Water from the South Coast Water District measures about 12 to 17 grains of hardness depending on its source, which builds scale inside heaters, and each home's sewer lateral is the owner's to keep up all the way to the main under the street. That is why the first tool out is a pressure gauge, a camera or the water meter itself, and the price is discussed only after it has shown the cause.
State license and bond
California CSLB license #1131308 (C-36 Plumbing) covers each job. The CSLB also lists a $25,000 contractor bond under the same number.
Someone on the line
No recording takes over after dark or on holidays. The person who picks up can tell you which valve to close and can send a plumber.
Based in Dana Point
Dana Point is our base. You stay put; the plumber travels to your address anywhere in Orange County.
A tidy work area
We lay floor protection from the door to the job, carry out the parts we replaced, and wipe up where we worked before leaving.
Said plainly, written down
Straight explanations
You are told which part failed, why, and what happens if it is left alone. Work the house does not need is never added to the list.
The price, before the work
The price is written down, and you sign off on it before anything starts. A job that drags on longer than planned still costs the figure you approved.
Written warranty
You get a written workmanship warranty on everything we repair or install. If our work fails, we return and set it right.
What we get called for
Most calls are urgent: a heater that died overnight, a lateral that backs up again once roots or grease close it off, a leak hidden under the floor, a pressure regulator that let the house pressure creep up. Every service has its own page, listing the warning signs and how we approach the job.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing
Burst supply lines, overflowing toilets and any leak that should not sit until morning.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Blockages opened with a cable or a water jet, and a camera pass afterward to show the pipe wall is clear.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Tank or tankless, repaired or replaced; strapped twice against earthquakes, the relief line piped outside, and the permit Dana Point asks for on every replacement.
Sewer Repair & Repiping
Laterals choked by roots or broken at a joint, repaired or replaced (trenchless where the line allows it), and whole-house repipes when the supply lines are worn out.
Leak & Gas Leak Detection
Water leaks that hide in walls and slabs, found before anything is opened. Gas piping is pressure tested and repaired, and SoCalGas restores service once it passes.
The area we cover
Dana Point is the base; the plumber does the traveling, to your address, and 24-hour emergency response goes with every call. Seven places have their own page here: Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Beach, Aliso Viejo and Laguna Hills. Everywhere else in Orange County, from Rancho Mission Viejo up to La Habra, gets the same service without a page.
License, bond and permits
CSLB license #1131308
Held by SoCal Plumbing Co Inc, classification C-36 Plumbing. You can search the number on the CSLB website before anyone steps inside.
$25,000 contractor bond, on record
Nationwide is the surety. The bond shows on the same CSLB record as the license, so a landlord, an association board or a home buyer can verify it without asking us.
Permits, start to finish
Gas lines, repipes, sewer laterals and water heaters get the permit the code calls for: through the eTRAKIT portal of the City of Dana Point here, through each other city's building department, and through the County of Orange in Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo and the county's other unincorporated communities. Every permit is closed once the work passes inspection.
Written workmanship warranty
Every repair and installation is covered. The terms appear on both the estimate and the invoice. Should our work fail, we come back and correct it, and you do not pay for that visit.
