My water heater gave out and my trusted plumber had just recently retired so I was in need of help. SOS was referred to me by a good friend so I contacted them. They scheduled me next day, came within the window they gave me and installed a new water heater that same day. They were quick, efficient, price was reasonable, and left the area as clean as they found it. Their positive reviews online are well deserved. Thanks again, SOS!

Really appreciate Paul Owen and his crew fixing the main problem standing between me and getting my equity. I have more jobs coming your way. Whoever reads this...dont use ROOTER MAN PLUMBING....their guy said he was going for parts to Home Depot and then just BAILED. SOS is the best. Thanks

Paul and his team got our water heater up and working immediately. Thank you SOS! We will be referring our neighborhood in the shores and our real estate clients to him!

This is an ongoing Project with having to replace every Sewer Mainline under 23 Buildings. We now have 13 buildings done, with 11 to go This job was completed in 4 days. We are very pleased with the Professionalism of the work as well as the Courteous Workers. The Residents only had to move out one night to let the Resin Liner cure overnight and they were back home the next day. We are very pleased that no floors had to be cut open to expose/repair the sewer line. As we are doing one Building every other month , We look forward to having this project completed next year. We highly recommend SOS.

Paul knows what hes doing and I value that. Bit more expensive than Id thought. It was a dirty job and they did it without damaging anything else. A drain running under the fireplace is not an easy job; I was happy to find someone to do it.

S.O.S. Innovative Plumbing Solutions are the Best! Paul Owen was fantastic! He was professional, thorough, knowledgeable, trustworthy and very respectful of our home. After careful inspection and unclogging our pipes he gave us several solutions. We felt his pricing was fair. He returned first thing the next morning to remedy the problem. Making sure to give us a reminder call in the morning and texting us 10 minutes before arrival. He also had a team of two Pio Orozco and Luis Perez who were also very knowledgeable and courteous of our home. They reseated a commode and repaired a leaking valve. We will be calling them in the future. Having trustworthy people in your home is priceless. Thank you Paul, Pio, and Luis.

SOS found a break in the line under my kitchen. They were very honest about the urgency of the situation. We found out around Christmas and funds were depleted. Their honesty allowed me time to save up. The financing is also very convenient and reasonable.

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 (thats 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.

Quick response to the leak in a pipe in our bathroom ceiling. Repair was done quickly and water turned back on within 4 hours of our initial call.

SOS and Chris are the best in the business when it comes to my plumbing needs. Every time I have an issue on one of my properties, and its usually urgent, they are so responsive to the problem every single time. Ive been using SOS for several years now and wouldnt think about using anyone else, honesty and reliability when it comes to plumbing issues is a rare combination . Highly recommend SOS for everything plumbing for residential and commercial jobs. Thanks Chris & SOS!

Paul and SOS are fantastic as always. My water heater started leaking while I was out of town. Paul was able to come out on short notice and take care of everything when I couldnt. Excellent communication and professional service. Thanks!

Greg was great! Helped give advice on a problem with a dishwasher even though that isn’t really what they do. He also was proactive about our aging water heater.

I have used SOS Plumbing consistently over the past 20 years. Whether it is maintenance, plumbing upgrades or appliance installation they have consistently impressed me with their professionalism, fair price and outstanding work. I trust them implicitly!

Paul was amazing with a repair of a collapsed sewer line and doing trenchless repair. Was told by another plumber 25-45 thousand dollars. It cost me 15,000 and saved me a lot of money. Also started the next day within giving me the estimate. Most professional plumbing service I have ever used. Paul went above and beyond and so appreciated that.

They came out quickly to our home and was able to fix a problem we had for years that another plumber couldnt. They explain the whole process well and were fair priced. And we didnt lose any of our landscaping. I highly recommend Paul. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

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.

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.
