Our Plumbing Services in Philadelphia

Our licensed Pennsylvania plumbers provide a complete range of plumbing services for Philadelphia homeowners and businesses.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Professional tankless water heater installation including new setups and tank-to-tankless conversions. We handle sizing, venting, gas supply upgrades, and permitting for code-compliant installations throughout the country.

Gas Leak Detection

Professional gas leak detection using calibrated detectors and pressure testing to find leaks in gas lines, connections, appliances, and meters. We locate the leak source precisely and recommend repairs immediately.

Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposal repair, replacement, and installation for kitchen sinks. We fix jammed, leaking, and failed units — or install new disposals with proper P-trap and dishwasher connections.

Drain Cleaning

Professional drain cleaning using hydro-jetting and snaking to clear slow and clogged drains throughout your home. We remove grease, hair, roots, and mineral buildup — restoring full flow and preventing backups.

Sump Pump Repair

Emergency sump pump repair when flooding threatens your basement or crawl space. We diagnose failed floats, clogged intakes, and seized impellers fast — getting your pump back online before water damage spreads.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Professional trenchless sewer line repair for cracks, offsets, and root intrusion. Pipe lining creates a new pipe within the old one, while pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through to replace the failed line completely.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pump installation and replacement for basements and crawl spaces prone to flooding. We size the right pump, install primary and battery-backup units, and ensure reliable operation before every rainy season.

Repiping

Whole-home and partial repiping to replace aging galvanized, polybutylene, or deteriorated pipes with modern long-lasting materials. Repiping eliminates chronic leaks, low pressure, and discolored water permanently.

Slab Leak Repair

Expert slab leak detection and repair using electronic sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks under your foundation. We perform minimally invasive repairs to protect your structure and stop water waste.

Emergency Plumber

Around-the-clock emergency plumbing for burst pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, gas leaks, and water heater failures. Our licensed emergency plumbers respond fast to stop damage and restore your plumbing.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease trap maintenance keeps your kitchen drains flowing and your business compliant with local waste regulations. We provide scheduled pumping, manifesting, and inspection-ready documentation.

Boiler Repair

When your boiler fails in winter, you need a plumber who understands hydronic systems. Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair all major boiler brands, restoring efficient heat to your home or building fast.

Backflow Testing

Professional backflow prevention testing and device installation. Our certified plumbers service residential and commercial properties, protecting your potable water supply from contamination.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heater replacement with same-day or next-day installation in most areas. We remove your old unit, recommend the right size and model for your needs, and install your new water heater to code.

Leak Detection

Find hidden leaks before they cause serious damage. Our leak detection specialists use thermal cameras and electronic listening devices to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground with precision.

Commercial Plumbing

Full-service commercial plumbing for restaurants, offices, retail, multi-family, and industrial properties. We handle new construction, maintenance contracts, fixture replacement, and urgent repairs.

Water Line Repair

Expert water line repair using trenchless and conventional methods. We locate the break, recommend the most cost-effective repair approach, and restore your water service with minimal disruption to your property.

Gas Line Repair

Professional gas line repair performed by licensed plumbers who understand gas system safety. We find the leak, repair or replace the damaged section, and pressure test the line before restoring gas service.

Sewer Line Repair

Professional sewer line repair that diagnoses the actual problem before recommending solutions. Camera inspection shows us exactly what is wrong so we can perform the least invasive, most cost-effective repair.

Hydro Jetting

When snaking is not enough, hydro jetting clears the pipe completely. Our professional jetters use pressurized water to blast away grease, scale, and root intrusion — restoring full pipe capacity for years.

Pipe Repair

Reliable pipe repair throughout your home — from pinhole leaks in copper supply lines to cracked drain pipes and corroded fittings. We diagnose the root cause and fix the problem at the source.

Faucet Repair

A dripping faucet wastes hundreds of gallons per month. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair kitchen, bathroom, and utility faucets of all brands and types — stopping leaks and restoring smooth operation.

Water Heater Repair

Fast water heater repair for tank and tankless units. We diagnose and fix pilot light failures, thermostat issues, heating element problems, pressure relief valve malfunctions, and sediment buildup quickly.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Video sewer inspection reveals exactly what is happening inside your sewer line — no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation. Essential for pre-purchase inspections and diagnosing recurring sewer problems.

Toilet Repair

Reliable toilet repair and installation for running toilets, phantom flushes, rocking toilets, weak flushes, and leaking seals. We diagnose the root cause and repair or replace components quickly and affordably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Philadelphia homeowners.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it right for my Philadelphia home?

Trenchless sewer repair in Philadelphia replaces damaged sewer lines using pipe lining or pipe bursting methods — without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. It works for most sewer line problems including cracks, root intrusion, and offset joints. Magnet Plumbing uses camera inspection to confirm trenchless repair is the right approach for your specific line condition.

How do I find a licensed plumber in Philadelphia, PA?

When hiring a plumber in Philadelphia, always verify their PA license and insurance. A licensed plumber must pass state examinations and carry liability coverage that protects your property. Magnet Plumbing employs licensed, background-checked plumbers throughout Pennsylvania — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Philadelphia, PA?

To prevent frozen pipes in Philadelphia, 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.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Philadelphia home?

If you smell gas in your Philadelphia home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Magnet Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.

How much does a plumber cost in Philadelphia, PA?

Plumber rates in Philadelphia typically range from $100 to $250 per hour depending on the type of work and time of day. Common jobs like drain cleaning run $150 to $300, while slab leak repair and repiping projects cost significantly more. Magnet Plumbing provides free estimates so you know the full cost before any work begins.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Philadelphia?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Philadelphia. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, and gas leaks pose fire and explosion risks. Magnet Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania communities.
