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."
"Saul and crew are the best. Replaced our water heater, re-piped, and gassed up our kitchen and laundry room. Honest, fair, efficient, and went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend. Thank you!"
