Our Plumbing Services in San Diego

Comprehensive plumbing solutions tailored to San Diego properties. Click any service to learn more.

Commercial Plumbing

Commercial plumbing needs are different from residential. Our plumbers understand backflow requirements, floor drain regulations, grease trap compliance, and the scheduling demands of active business operations.

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.

Water Heater Repair

Expert water heater repair that restores your hot water fast. From faulty thermostats and pilot light issues to anode rod replacement and sediment flushing, we fix the problem at the source for lasting results.

Water Line Repair

Water line breaks can disrupt your entire home's water supply. Our licensed plumbers repair or replace damaged main lines and service connections quickly, restoring full water pressure and flow to your property.

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.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Upgrade to on-demand hot water with professional tankless water heater installation. Our plumbers assess household demand, recommend the right model, and install with all required gas or electrical connections.

Toilet Repair

A running or leaking toilet wastes thousands of gallons and drives up your water bill. Our plumbers fix flappers, fill valves, wax rings, flush handles, and other toilet components — or install new toilets.

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.

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

Trenchless sewer repair replaces damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. We use pipe lining and pipe bursting methods to save time, money, and the mess of conventional excavation.

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.

Pipe Repair

Professional pipe repair for leaks, corrosion, and breaks in supply lines, drain lines, and waste pipes. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the cause and perform lasting repairs using quality materials.

Boiler Repair

Professional boiler repair for banging noises, lost pressure, pilot failures, and circulation problems. We service atmospheric, condensing, and high-efficiency units — including expansion tanks and circulator pumps.

Backflow Testing

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

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.

Faucet Repair

Professional faucet repair and installation that eliminates drips, leaks, and stiff handles. We carry common repair parts on our trucks for same-visit repairs on most faucet brands, plus full installations of new fixtures.

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.

Gas Line Repair

Gas line leaks demand immediate professional attention. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair gas line failures safely, using proper materials and testing to ensure your gas system is secure and code-compliant.

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.

Sump Pump Installation

Protect your basement before the next storm. Our plumbers install sump pumps with float switches, check valves, and battery backup systems — ready to keep groundwater out of your home reliably.

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.

Garbage Disposal

When your garbage disposal jams, leaks, or stops working, our plumbers diagnose the problem fast. We repair what makes sense and replace units that are beyond repair with quality new disposals.

Hydro Jetting

Commercial and residential hydro jetting for persistent drain and sewer problems. We use calibrated pressure and nozzle selection for your specific line type, delivering a thorough clean without damaging pipes.

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.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line problems cause backups, odors, and potential health hazards. Our plumbers use video cameras to inspect the line, identify the damage, and repair or reline the pipe — often without full excavation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in San Diego? We have answers.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my San Diego home?

Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in San Diego homes, especially PVC, brass, or aging galvanized plumbing. The caustic chemicals can eat through pipe walls over time and are hazardous if they splash on skin or eyes. A professional drain cleaning by Magnet Plumbing is safer, more effective, and prevents pipe damage — costing less in the long run.

Does homeowners insurance cover plumbing repairs in San Diego, CA?

In San Diego, homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental plumbing damage such as a burst pipe flooding your home. The cost of repairing the pipe itself may not be covered, but the resulting water damage often is. Gradual leaks and corrosion from neglected maintenance are usually excluded. Call (844) 618-0753 if you need documentation for a claim.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in San Diego?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in San Diego. 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 San Diego and surrounding California communities.

How much does a plumber cost in San Diego, CA?

Plumber rates in San Diego 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.

How can I tell if I have a slab leak in my San Diego home?

Signs of a slab leak in San Diego homes include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, cracks in the foundation or walls, and low water pressure. If you notice these symptoms, call a plumber for professional slab leak detection before the damage worsens.

How do I shut off my water in a plumbing emergency in San Diego?

Your main water shutoff valve in San Diego is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Magnet Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
