Homeowner emergency tools
Deterministic tools built on published safety guidance and our real coverage data. They never guess a price, a provider count or an arrival time — where an answer depends on live availability, they say so.

Emergency shutoff and utility guide
Anything at or before the meter belongs to the utility; the property side, from the meter into the building, is where a licensed professional works. If you smell gas, leave first and call 911 and the gas utility from outside.

UrgentHomePro is a home-services matching platform. We help connect consumers with independent home-service providers. UrgentHomePro does not perform home repairs and does not employ the independent providers it may route requests to. Provider availability, qualifications, licensing, pricing, warranties and service terms are determined by the individual provider. Calls placed through this site may be connected to an independent provider or a partner provider network, and UrgentHomePro may be compensated for qualifying calls and requests. Availability and arrival times vary by provider, location and current demand.
