Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"We had a slab leak that nobody else could pinpoint. The Magnet team used proper leak detection equipment and found it under the kitchen in about thirty minutes. The repair was clean, no extra damage to the flooring, and the pricing was honest. Highly recommend."
"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."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
