Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"These guys are amazing, very professional, friendly, clean and neat on their job and appearance. I had a clog on my main line at 11pm on a Saturday and they came and got the job done, so now they are my go-to guys. I recommend them to my family so you know they are good once you trust them with your family's plumbing."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
