Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Quarterly grease trap cleaning for our restaurant. Always on time and they handle the compliance paperwork. One less thing to worry about."
"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."
"I called many places to see if someone could come and install a much needed commercial sink at work. Saul called me back and said he could be there in a few hours, and 3 hours later he showed up and installed the sink, faucet and replaced a broken toilet we had."
