Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Needed our sewer line replaced and they recommended trenchless. It saved our driveway and landscaping and was finished in one day. I had no idea how fast trenchless repair could be."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"Came out the same day to replace a failed sump pump during a storm. Saved our basement. Fair pricing and very fast response."
