Slab Leak Repair

Professional slab leak repair from detection through restoration. We use acoustic listening devices and thermal cameras to find the leak precisely, then repair or reroute the line to solve the problem permanently.

Boiler Repair

Boiler repair and installation for residential and commercial hydronic heating systems. We service gas, oil, and electric boilers for reliable winter heating — diagnosing pressure, circulation, and combustion issues.

Water Line Repair

Professional water line repair and replacement for main supply lines and service connections. We diagnose breaks, corrosion, and leaks, then perform durable repairs or full replacements using quality materials.

Drain Cleaning

Thorough drain cleaning that goes beyond surface blockages. We use video inspection and high-pressure water jetting to clear obstructions completely, leaving your drains flowing freely and reducing future buildup.

Skip the destructive dig. Our trenchless sewer repair methods rehabilitate damaged sewer lines from inside the existing pipe — preserving your landscaping and completing most jobs in a single day.

Leak Detection

Professional leak detection services that pinpoint hidden water leaks without tearing into walls or floors. We use non-invasive technology to find the source precisely, then recommend the most effective repair.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Professional sewer camera inspection to diagnose blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and collapse. We show you the video so you can see the problem and make informed decisions about repairs.

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.

Sump Pump Repair

Professional sump pump repair for residential and commercial properties. We diagnose electrical, mechanical, and float switch failures and return your pump to full working order with quality replacement parts.

Repiping

If your home suffers from frequent leaks, low pressure, or discolored water, repiping may be the solution. We replace your entire water supply system with modern pipe materials and restore full pressure and water quality.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line repair and replacement for cracked, collapsed, root-infiltrated, and offset pipes. We use camera inspection to diagnose the problem and recommend spot repairs, pipe lining, or full replacement.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in Charlottesville? We have answers.

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

Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Charlottesville 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.

How do I find a licensed plumber in Charlottesville, VA?

When hiring a plumber in Charlottesville, always verify their VA 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 Virginia — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in Charlottesville 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.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Charlottesville, VA?

To prevent frozen pipes in Charlottesville, 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 plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Charlottesville?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Charlottesville. 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 Charlottesville and surrounding Virginia communities.

How often should I have my drains cleaned in Charlottesville?

Most Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville. Magnet Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
