Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Magnet Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
"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."
"Saul and his team showed up on time and worked quickly to resolve our issue. They were able to quickly replace the old water heater with a new unit. They left the area cleaner than it was originally. We finally have hot water again! Pricing was fair, service was exceptional."
