Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Once again Magnet Plumbing came to save the day. I manage a building of 49 units and we had a gas leak somewhere. The city shut the gas for the whole building. They showed up right away and got to work. They found the problem, fixed it, and were able to turn the gas back on so people could have dinner. Saul is amazing — right on time, very professional."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
"Late-night leak under the kitchen sink, had someone out within 90 minutes. Stopped the leak, replaced the shutoff valve, and I could finally go back to sleep."
