Frequently asked questions
01
Bigger jobs use one of our three flat-rate packages, and small, one-off jobs are priced individually — see the full list on our pricing page. Either way, you get a number in writing before work starts.
02
Most standard calls are scheduled same-day. True emergencies — an active leak or burst pipe — are prioritized ahead of routine bookings.
03
Yes — Socal Zd LLC is a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor, fully insured, and every technician on our crew is a licensed plumber.
04
If something we installed or repaired isn't right within 7 days, we return and fix it at no extra charge. Full terms are on our refund policy.
05
Yes — active leaks, burst pipes, and no-hot-water calls are treated as emergencies and prioritized, including outside normal business hours.
06
If there's active water, shut off the main if you know where it is. Otherwise, just clear access to the fixture or work area — we'll handle the rest.
Who we are
Thirteen years of Orange County plumbing
SocalZd was founded in Irvine in 2013 by Sean Hunt, a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor who got tired of watching customers get quoted one price and billed another. Over a decade later, that's still the rule the company is built around: tell people what a job costs before we start.
We handle everything from a single clogged drain to a full home repipe — the same licensed plumbers either way, not a dispatcher routing you to whoever's available.
Most of our work still comes from Irvine, Lake Forest and Woodbridge, plus a steady base of property managers and builders across Orange County who've learned they can hand us a job and not have to check our work.
