Affordable plumbing repairs and installations from $99. Faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, leaks, and more. 24/7 emergency service. Insured and trusted by 1,800+ California homeowners.
80% of household plumbing issues don't require a $150-$300/hr licensed plumber. Here's why a plumbing handyman is the smarter call.
Perfect for these common jobs:
We'll honestly tell you when a plumber is needed:
In California, handyman plumbing work is legally limited to jobs under $500 in total value (labor + materials). We operate fully within these guidelines and refer to licensed plumbers when a job exceeds our scope.
For the vast majority of plumbing tasks — the dripping faucet, the running toilet, the garbage disposal that died, the showerhead you want upgraded — a plumbing handyman does the exact same work for 40-60% less than a licensed plumber. Same parts. Same tools. Same result. Lower price.
Compare our prices to what a licensed plumber charges. Same quality work, dramatically lower cost.

Licensed plumbers charge $150-$300/hr with service call fees. We start at $99 flat rate for common plumbing tasks. Same work, same quality parts, dramatically lower price because we don't carry the overhead of a plumbing license for work that doesn't require one.
Leaks don't wait for business hours. Our plumbing team is available around the clock for urgent issues. We aim to be on-site within 1-2 hours for active leaks and plumbing emergencies anywhere in our California service area.
Our plumbing techs carry common parts: flappers, fill valves, supply lines, P-traps, shut-off valves, garbage disposal hardware, and faucet adapters. Most repairs are completed in a single visit with no parts-run delays.
Unlike some plumbers who upsell unnecessary work, we tell you exactly what the problem is and how much it costs to fix. If the job requires a licensed plumber, we'll tell you honestly rather than attempt work outside our scope.
General liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every job. Plumbing work involves water — and water damage risk. Our insurance protects you completely in the rare event something goes wrong.

"My kitchen faucet was leaking badly and I called two plumbers — both quoted over $250 just for the labor to swap it. Called Zomg and they did it for $99. Same Moen faucet, same installation, same result. I felt like I'd been getting ripped off by plumbers my whole life."
"Our toilet started overflowing at 11 PM on a Friday. Called Zomg's emergency line and a tech was at our house by midnight. Turned out to be a failed wax ring seal. He replaced it, checked the fill valve, and had everything working perfectly. $149 for a Friday night emergency plumbing call. Our regular plumber wanted $350+ for after-hours."
"I'm a landlord with 4 rental properties. Plumbing issues come up constantly — running toilets, dripping faucets, garbage disposals dying. Zomg has saved me thousands of dollars compared to calling a licensed plumber every time. They're my first call for any standard plumbing repair."
"Had three things that needed fixing: kitchen faucet install, garbage disposal replacement, and a running toilet upstairs. A plumber quoted me $650+ for all three. Zomg did everything in one visit for $347. The tech was fast, clean, and tested everything thoroughly before leaving. Cannot recommend enough."
"What I appreciate most about Zomg is their honesty. I called them about a water heater issue expecting them to fix it. The tech inspected it and said, 'This needs a licensed plumber for proper installation and permitting.' He even recommended a good local plumber. That kind of integrity earned a customer for life on everything else."
"The shut-off valve under my bathroom sink was completely corroded and leaking. Called a plumber who said the earliest he could come was next week. Called Zomg and they had a tech out the next morning. He replaced both shut-off valves and the supply lines in about 45 minutes. $149 total. Problem solved."
