Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from South Boston homeowners.
To prevent frozen pipes in South Boston, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Magnet Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.
Most South Boston homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with large families, frequent cooking, or older plumbing may need service more often. Tree roots, grease buildup, and hair are the most common causes of drain problems in South Boston. Magnet Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in South Boston. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, and gas leaks pose fire and explosion risks.

Real reviews from homeowners we have served across the country.
"Came out the same day to replace a failed sump pump during a storm. Saved our basement. Fair pricing and very fast response."
"Amazing work. Good people. Reliable. On time and efficient. And prices are definitely hard to beat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
"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."
