The job
Plumbers work in San Francisco
San Francisco has a large and steady base of plumbing demand. The city's housing stock is old, much of it built before the Second World War, and the mix of single family houses on the west side and dense multi unit buildings downtown and in the Mission keeps a constant flow of repair and replacement work. The trade here is mostly small owner operator firms and a long tail of two and three van shops, with a handful of larger service companies and franchise names taking the top of the paid results. Paid search for plumbing terms in the city is expensive, which tells you the commercial value of a call is high. Searches come from both owners and renters, and a good share of them are urgent, made on a phone the same day the problem appears.
