How fast can a plumber get to my emergency?

Our emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1–2 hours in the Ridgecrest metro area. We're available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call immediately if you have active flooding or a gas leak.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Turn off the water main valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home). If there's a gas leak, leave the house and call 911. Place towels or buckets to catch water and move valuables away from affected areas.

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Drain cleaning in Ridgecrest typically costs $125–$500. A single clogged drain costs $125–$250 to clear. Main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting runs $250–$500. We provide upfront pricing before starting.

What causes drains to clog in Ridgecrest homes?

The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Ridgecrest's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Ridgecrest, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.

How much does water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement in Ridgecrest costs $1,200–$4,500 depending on the type. Standard tank water heaters run $1,200–$2,500, tankless models $2,500–$4,500. Heat pump water heaters qualify for SMUD rebates up to $4,000.

What SMUD rebates are available for water heaters?

SMUD offers up to $4,000 in rebates for heat pump water heater installation. Combined with federal tax credits, you could save $4,000–$6,000 on an energy-efficient upgrade. We handle all rebate paperwork.

I agree with the other review. Alan is a golden find. I had a water heater start leaking a couple of days ago. The main plumbing company in town couldn't get to it until 5 days later. Alan Perot came to my rescue. I bought the water heater from Desert Industrial Supply and they also highly recommended Alan. Labor rates were awesome. Is he licensed ? YES !!! I am definitely using him again. 7/9/2019 And I did. The water heater leaked a little. Flex line, luckily it was today, he just got restocked. A lot of houses had the same problem. I called today, in the morning, he was here at the time he said he'd be. We now have hot water after the 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes. Because the water heater was installed properly, it was an easy fix.

Always a pleasure to have work done by this plumber very knowledgeable & great at explaining any information pertinent to the job. Just LOVE this man he is pleasant, thorough, and reasonable with his rates. He charges usually way under what other plumbers will quote plus his work is meticulous. Definitely refer everyone I know to use his services.

SOS Plumbing was fantastic. They were able to come by within hours of calling for a quote, which was as low or lower than the other plumbers in town. The job was tougher than I had hoped (and more than what I had asked for in the initial quote), but the additional expense was far lower than I had expected when I authorized the extra work it took to fix the problem. I would definitely use SOS again.
