SOS Plumbing Just because clogged drains and sewer lines are the most common plumbing problems doesn't mean they can't be very costly. And the strange thing is, they are also among the most preventable problems. S.O.S. Plumbing has high definition cameras on each truck and trained, skilled technicians who know how to use them.

A camera inspection on your drains or sewer lines tells the technician where the problem is in the system without using invasive techniques that sometimes cause more damage to the pipes. If work is necessary-a simple cleaning or something more-we will give you an upfront estimate and usually take care of the problem that same day.

Trenchless Sewer Repair
Report
You've trusted us for over 40 years with your home and business plumbing, drain, and sewer needs in Southern California. These counties include Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, San Diego County and San Bernardino.
Slab Leaks
Report
Many houses in Orange County and surrounding area are built on slabs, meaning the structure's pipes and sewer lines are laid out and then covered with concrete, which then becomes the flooring. Two reasons for building on slabs are cost-slab-build structures are much lower-and the environment. Oftentimes the land in a development will not support basements.
Sewer Repair
Report
Since 1970, family owned and operated S.O.S. Plumbing & Expert Drain Cleaning Service has been helping families, businesses, cities and even other plumbing companies repair broken pipes, leaks and other problems resulting from clogged drains and sewer line backups-all of which could add up to big money if not taken care of properly. We can repair any sewer in California.
Leak Detection
Report
If you hear running water where you shouldn't, see wet spots on the walls or floor, feel warm spots on the floor and if your water bills are out of sight, you might have a leak under the slab your house or commercial business sits on. Puddles of water in your yard or around the sidewalk or driveway might indicate a sewer line back-up.

Called for help with a clogged toilet and the owner on the phone was very responsive and helpful and told me a technician would get to me later in the day. The tech arrived, diagnosed the problem pretty quickly and called for support with the tools he needed to get the job done. They worked for hours until the job was finished and done right. Highly recommend this company for excellent service and professionalism.

Disappointed I did not get quote verbally or in writing before working projects I had used then 3 times before and over $200 for a flapper and fill valve in toilet disappointing took about 15 minutes. My fault I guess just disappointed at the price. They were on time and courteous Services:Toilet repair, Drain cleaning

My wife and I called Paul at S.O.S. Plumbing when the upstairs sink backup up. We recently had a fiberglass liner installed by another company, and it turns out they missed reinstating the sink drain connection into the main line (that's a BIG oops). As I feared, we had to dig.in the family room.under the carpet.three days after we had the house cleaned and the carpet shampooed from the other guys.

We shared our story with Paul and Al, and everything the other company put us through (extended timeline, disorganization, destruction of property, etc.) They felt for us. Given that the family room had to be dug up, these guys did it right! They set up ratcheting poles (floor to ceiling) to create a containment area. They put down several drop clothes, to protect the carpet.

And they even put the dirt into trash cans instead of on the slab. Imagine that, a tidy plumbing company. I was shocked too. When they left, the job was done right and it was photographed for the previous company. Our family room was as clean as it could be until our carpet guys could reset the carpet and pad they folded over (neatly). And now (three days later), there is NO EVIDENCE that S.O.S. Plumbing was here.

They were upfront about the Scope of the project and Pricing. They were very fair and kept their word! They said ONE day, and it was 3/4 of a day! These guys definitely earned a spot on my "Good Vendor List." As a business owner in an industry that is familiar with plumbing, that is a strict list. I also possess the knowledge to understand their process, and to know (ahead of time) these guys are HONEST & hardworking, very clean, and paid to think! Thanks guys, my wife and I are so relieved to be through this.

I want to the Paul Owen and his team, who came out and jetted and lined my main sewer line. The workers did a great job and it was reasonably priced. I would recommend SOS Plumbing to anyone. Thank you SOS Plumbing for a job well done!

Was the only plumber I could get a hold of to come out on a Saturday night and clean out my main drain from the vent on the roof. It took him almost an hour to get the drain cleared but he was able to do it.

SOS Plumbing is a professional business that came to the rescue. Sewer main intrusion by tree roots. Encountered an emergency situation that forced me to require assistance for plumbing needs outside of my capabilities! Paul provided clear guidance and professionalism that put me at ease. The crew were very efficient and tidy with their work and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I would definitely recommend them and I will contact them for any future needs!

They came out quickly to our home and was able to fix a problem we had for years that another plumber couldn't. They explain the whole process well and were fair priced. And we didn't lose any of our landscaping. I highly recommend Paul. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Paul & the whole crew at SOS Plumbing are awesome! They came out when we were in a jam to our Newport Beach home the same day and fixed a problem for us right away. They are professional and get the job done. I would highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.
