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. The moment you send it, your job is marked TOP PRIORITY — no forms, no hold music, no waiting until morning.
- 2
On-call vetted pros get it first
It routes only to ID-verified local pros who opted into 24/7 on-call duty, so someone qualified sees it right away. Yobly never does the work itself — you choose who to hire.
- 3
First contact in about 15 minutes
A nearby pro reaches out fast to confirm the problem and head over. This is a target based on who's available, not a guarantee.
- 4
Escrow-protected — pay only when it's done
You still get a clear upfront quote, and your payment is held safely in escrow. It's released only once the job is finished and you're satisfied — 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 — a real, vetted local pro is reaching out within minutes.
Questions, answered.
Is my money really safe?
Yes. When you accept a quote, your payment goes into escrow — a locked holding account. The pro can see the money is secured, but it's only released when you confirm the job is done. If something goes wrong, a human resolves the dispute within 48 hours.
How are pros verified?
Every pro passes ID verification and a background check before they can bid. Licensed trades (plumbing, electrical) must also upload valid licence and insurance documents, which our team reviews.
What does it cost to post a job?
Nothing — posting is free and you can collect as many quotes as you like. We charge pros a small commission only 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. Describe your job in any of 12 languages — English, French, Chinese, Punjabi, Spanish, Arabic and more. Our AI understands you and structures a clear job post for pros.
How fast will I get quotes?
Most jobs get their first quotes the same day. 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 resolves it within 48 hours, including partial or full refunds where appropriate.
Tell us what’s broken. We’ll take it from there.
