How it works
We make one introduction, then we are out of it.
This is a matching desk, not a plumbing shop. The split of labor is the whole product. If you want the neighborhood version of the same story, start on the Pittsburgh area page.
Tell us what the plumbing is doing
Call (412) 555-0669 or use the estimate form. A leak at 1 a.m., a sewer smell after rain, no hot water before work — describe the symptom. You do not need the cause. If water is moving, say so. That changes the queue. Read when this is actually an emergency.
We match you to a local plumber
We look at ZIP, job type, and who is actually answering the phone tonight. A frozen line in Brookline does not go to a shop that only runs new construction in Cranberry. An active burst does not sit behind a water-heater quote.
They inspect and quote
The plumber calls you from their number, walks the house, and writes their price. We do not mark it up. We do not rewrite it. If you want a second opinion after that, take one.
You decide
Hire them, wait, or call someone else. There is no membership to cancel. There is no invoice from us. If the work goes badly, use the complaints policy.

Do you take a cut of the plumber's invoice?
No. The plumber pays us for the introduction. Your estimate is theirs.
Will several companies call me?
No. We route each request to one plumber, not a blast list.
What if the plumber does poor work?
Your contract is with them. Tell us as well — we stop sending work to shops that generate complaints. See the complaints policy.
