"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."
"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."
"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."
