Newport Beach is where we are based. From here we take plumbing calls at every hour for houses, condos, rentals and shops all over Orange County.
Ready for the leak nobody planned
SoCal Emergency Plumbing Newport Beach is set up for the night an angle stop gives way under the sink, a toilet floods the bathroom, or the water heater in the alley garage starts to leak. Whoever answers helps you find the shutoff while a plumber gets moving from the closest of our 10 locations.
Beach cottages and duplexes on narrow Peninsula and Balboa Island lots, Eastbluff homes poured on slabs in the 1960s and 1970s, Newport Coast hillside houses with tankless heaters and pressure regulators, condos where several units share one drain stack: this is the plumbing we see here, and we look at it before anyone names a price.
License and bond
CSLB license #1131308 in the C-36 Plumbing class, backed by a $25,000 contractor bond the state keeps on file.
A person on the line
Call at 2 a.m. on a holiday and someone still picks up.
Based in Newport Beach
Our base sits in Newport Beach, one of 10 company locations spread around the county.
Clean work areas
Drop cloths on the floor, old parts carried out, and the space swept before we leave.
Commitments you can check
Plain talk
You hear what broke and why in ordinary words, and we never sell repairs your home does not need.
Price agreed first
The whole price is in writing and approved by you before work begins, and it stays put if the job takes longer than planned.
Written warranty
Our repairs and installs are backed in writing by a workmanship warranty, and when our work fails we come back to fix it.
What we fix most often
Most calls are urgent: a water heater rusted through by salt air, a laundry drain packed with beach sand, a slab leak under an Eastbluff floor, or galvanized pipe in an older Corona del Mar house that has reached its end. Every service below links to a page covering what to watch for and how we handle it.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing
Burst supply lines, overflowing fixtures and leaks that will not hold until morning.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Sand, grease and roots cleared, with a camera to confirm the pipe is open.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Tank and tankless units repaired or replaced. A tank gets its two earthquake straps, and the relief valve drains to a safe spot.
Sewer Repair & Repiping
Cracked laterals fixed or replaced, trenchless where the line allows, and old galvanized supply pipe swapped for new.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair
Leaks found and fixed, the line pressure tested, and everything ready for SoCalGas to restore service.

Paperwork you can verify
CSLB license #1131308
Issued to SoCal Plumbing Co Inc under the C-36 Plumbing classification. The CSLB license lookup shows its status, so you can confirm it before you book.
$25,000 contractor bond
The bond sits on the same CSLB record, which helps HOA boards and owners of rental units who need proof before hiring.
Permits pulled and closed
Permits for a new water heater, a repipe, a sewer lateral or a gas line go through the City of Newport Beach, which also inspects the work. In the other cities that require a permit we file there, and on unincorporated land we file with the County of Orange.
Warranty terms on paper
Every repair and install gets one, with the terms printed on the estimate or the invoice. Should our work let you down, correcting it is on us.
