“I have used OnCall for HAVC & plumbing services for over ten years. They have always been responsive and professional. If you need it done right and right now they are the people to call. Recently I needed a tankless water heater replaced. Jordan did a great job and took time to explain what he was doing so that I understood the whole process. Can't recommend them enough.”

“Pat came out incredibly fast this morning, identified the origin of the leak and corrected it. Without his help and expertise, the damage could have been far worse.”

A few common questions.

How much does a plumbing service call cost?

Our residential diagnostic fee is $89, and we waive it when you go ahead with the repair at the quoted price. Payment is due on site by cash, check or card — and for bigger jobs like a water heater replacement, your plumber can walk you through financing options in person.

Are your plumbers licensed?

Yes. Our team includes master and journeyman plumbers and backflow-certified technicians. On Call holds South Carolina Mechanical License CLM.111515 MC and is insured — certificates of insurance are available on request.

What if I don't know what's wrong?

No problem. Just tell us what you're seeing or hearing — where it is and when it started — and we'll send the right plumber.

Will you try to sell me a new water heater or fixture?

Not necessarily. Your plumber will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better value, and give you a price for each so you can decide.

What brands do you install?

We install Rinnai, A.O. Smith and Rheem water heaters and Kohler and Delta fixtures, and we service every major brand.

Do you serve my area?

We serve homes and businesses across Columbia and the Midlands. Give us your address when you call and we'll get you scheduled.
