What Our Customers Say

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.

★★★★★

"Replaced two old toilets with new comfort-height models. The installer was respectful, took his shoes off at the door, and hauled away the old toilets. Small things that make a big difference."

— Yolanda B.
★★★★★

"Bought a new house and had a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection done. The plumber walked me through the footage and pointed out one section that would need attention in a few years. Honest assessment, no upsell pressure."

— Eric T.
★★★★★

"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."

— Manny Rivera
