How 24/7 emergency help works — and what it isn’t
It’s the same Yobly marketplace, jumped to the front of the line: when something in your home breaks and can’t wait, we get a vetted local tradesperson on it fast. Here’s exactly what that means.
- 1
Flag it as urgent
Tap a topic or describe what's happening. When you send it, your job is flagged as an emergency — no forms, no hold music, no waiting until morning. Emergency posts are limited per customer each day; past the limit, your job still goes live as high priority.
- 2
On-call vetted pros get it first
It goes only to pros who opted into 24/7 on-call duty and offer that service (or a related one, if none does) — or, if we can't tell which service you need, to every on-call pro. Yobly never does the work itself — you choose who to hire.
- 3
On-call pros are alerted right away
On-call pros get your job as soon as you send it. How fast one reaches out depends on who’s available — it isn’t a guarantee.
- 4
Escrow-protected — released after the job is approved
You still get a clear upfront quote, and your payment is held safely in escrow. It's released when you approve the finished job — or, if you don’t respond within 48 hours or a dispute is decided, after our team reviews it. Same protection as every Yobly job, just faster.
Yobly is not 911 and not an emergency service. We are an online marketplace that connects you with independent local tradespeople for urgent property problems — a burst pipe, no heat, a power failure, a lockout, a roof leak. We are not the fire department, police, ambulance, hospital, or your gas or electricity utility, and we cannot send emergency responders.
If there is a fire or smoke, if you smell or suspect a gas leak, if a carbon-monoxide alarm is sounding, if anyone is hurt, in danger, or having a medical emergency, or if a crime is in progress — stop and call 911 now. For a gas leak, leave the building first and call your gas utility from outside. For downed power lines or a neighbourhood outage, call your electricity utility. Do not wait for a pro.
Once you and everyone else are safe, come back and we’ll get your property fixed fast.
When a pipe bursts or the heat quits at 2 a.m., you’re not on hold and you’re not alone — your job goes straight to vetted, on-call local pros.
Questions, answered.
Is my money really safe?
Yes. When you accept a quote, you pay through Yobly and Yobly holds your payment in escrow — in its own account, not a separate trust account. The pro can see the money is secured, but it's released only when you confirm the job is done — or, if you don't respond within 48 hours, after our team reviews the proof of work. If something goes wrong, open a dispute and a person on our team reviews it.
How are pros verified?
Pros can upload government ID and business documents, which our team reviews. Licensed trades (plumbing, electrical) can also upload their licence and liability insurance certificate. We don’t run criminal background checks.
What does it cost to post a job?
Nothing — posting is free and you can collect as many quotes as you like. Pros use credits to send quotes and pay a commission when a job is completed and paid, so our incentive is the same as yours: a job well done.
Do I have to write in English?
No. You can write in your own language — for example French, Spanish or Chinese. Our AI understands you and structures a clear job post for pros.
How fast will I get quotes?
It depends on how many pros cover your category and area — we’re onboarding pros now. Emergency jobs are flagged so nearby pros see them first.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
Don't approve the release. Open a dispute from the job page — our support team reviews the evidence (photos, chat history, the job draft) and decides, including partial or full refunds where appropriate.
Tell us what’s broken. We’ll take it from there.
