Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"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."
