Service areas

All of Orange County, from the foot of Saddleback

Our base is Rancho Santa Margarita, on the plateau below the Santa Ana Mountains, and we take calls from every corner of the county. Nine places have their own page: Rancho Santa Margarita and the eight closest to it. Every other city and community is shaded on the county map and named in the index further down, with the same 24-hour emergency response.

SoCal Emergency Plumbing Rancho Santa Margarita is based in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, and a single phone line, answered day and night, covers the whole county. Each call is handed to the closest of our 10 locations: Rancho Santa Margarita, Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Orange, Fullerton and Brea.

Homes in the nine places with a page here were built across almost half a century. Census figures put the median build year at 1969 in Laguna Woods and at 2015 in Rancho Mission Viejo. Rancho Santa Margarita sits in between: tract homes, townhomes and condos from the mid-1980s and 1990s, mostly built on concrete slabs, with the copper supply pipe running beneath the floor and now old enough for pinhole leaks. Laguna Woods Village condos share drain stacks, while Rancho Mission Viejo runs PEX, tankless heaters and recirculation pumps. The same wet spot on a floor can lead to three different repairs.

Each of the nine pages lists ZIP codes, Census housing numbers and what tends to fail in local plumbing: Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Lake Forest, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo, Rancho Mission Viejo and San Juan Capistrano. Anywhere else among the 34 cities and 5 unincorporated communities of the county, the service is identical; there is simply no page for it. Call from any of them and we tell you which location is nearest.

Some things do not change from one city line to the next. No work begins until you have the written estimate in hand and have said yes to it, every job is done under our C-36 plumbing license, and our $25,000 contractor bond is filed with the CSLB.

How a visit works

What happens between your call and a dry floor

  1. 1

    Reach us

    Phone or send the form. A real person takes the call at three in the morning just as at noon.

  2. 2

    Set the visit

    You choose the time. If water is still moving, the visit is treated as an emergency and booked that way.

  3. 3

    Diagnose, then price

    The plumber finds what failed and puts the price on paper. No wall is opened and no part is swapped before you sign off.

  4. 4

    Prove it and clean up

    The repair runs while you look on, then the space is wiped down and the old parts go with us.

Water where it should not be

One number, every hour of the year.

Close the main valve first: in most Rancho Santa Margarita homes it sits where the line enters the house or in the meter box at the curb. Then call, and stay on the line for the next steps while the plumber heads out from the closest location.
