Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Our 1970s galvanized pipes were failing one joint at a time. Got three bids on a whole-house repipe and these guys were competitive on price and had the best timeline. Seven days start to finish, minimal drywall damage, and water pressure is dramatically better throughout the house. Worth every dollar."
"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."
"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."
