New Orleans, LA
Burst pipe at 2am. Got a callback in 8 minutes and a plumber at my door in under an hour. He fixed it fast and the emergency rate was reasonable.

Needed a full bathroom plumbing redo. The plumber they matched me with was meticulous. Clean work, on time, on budget.

I've used HomePro three times now. Each plumber has been licensed, on time, and gave me a price before starting. Never been surprised by the bill.

Typical range: $150 – $8,000+ depending on scope
Plumbing costs are highly variable depending on whether the issue is a simple fixture swap or a major leak requiring access to walls or slabs. Emergency work carries a premium over scheduled service.
| Option / Tier | Description | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Drain cleaning & minor repairs | Clog clearing, faucet replacement, toilet repair | $150–$500 |
| Water heater replacement | Standard tank unit; tankless adds cost | $900–$2,500 |
| Leak repair (walls/floors) | Depends on access complexity and extent of damage | $500–$3,000 |
| Full bathroom or kitchen rough-in | New supply and drain lines for remodel | $2,000–$8,000+ |
What moves the cost most:
Pipe material and access
Cast iron, galvanized, and older copper systems are harder and more expensive to work with than modern PEX.
Slab vs. above-grade
Leaks under a concrete slab require saw-cutting or tunneling — adds significantly to cost.
Emergency timing
After-hours emergency calls carry a $100–$300 premium. Burst pipes and active floods require immediate dispatch.
Water heater type
Tankless water heaters cost $1,000–$2,000 more than tank units but qualify for a federal tax credit and last 20+ years.
Tankless water heaters qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $600 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Fixing a running toilet or slow drip saves 50–200 gallons of water per day — meaningful on monthly utility bills.
Burst pipes, sewage backups, and active flooding require same-day response — every hour of delay multiplies water damage. A slow drip under a sink or a running toilet, while not emergencies, should not be deferred more than a few days as they cause hidden damage and waste hundreds of gallons of water monthly.
Standard tank water heaters (40–50 gallon) are the most common and least expensive to install ($900–$1,800). They last 8–12 years. Tankless (on-demand) units cost more upfront ($1,800–$3,500 installed) but last 20+ years and qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $600 under the Inflation Reduction Act. For homes with high hot water demand or planning a long stay, tankless often has the better lifetime economics.
