Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Installed a new sump pump in our basement before hurricane season and I am so glad I did. The install was clean, the pump runs quietly, and they explained the battery backup option clearly. Great experience."
"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."
"We noticed our water bill doubling month over month and could not find anything visible. These guys came out with the leak detection equipment and located a slab leak under the living room in about thirty minutes. The repair was minimally invasive — small access cut, patched afterward, and the bill is back to normal. Really impressed with the professionalism."
