Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Our older boiler was making banging noises and losing pressure. The technician diagnosed a failed expansion tank, replaced it, and the system has been silent ever since. Reasonable rate and quick turnaround."
"Fixed a hidden leak behind the drywall without tearing apart the whole wall. Impressed with how precise they were and how quickly they found it."
"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."
