Replace your water heater in Downtown when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Downtown by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually.

Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Our 1970s galvanized pipes were failing one joint at a time. Got three bids on a whole-house repipe and these guys were competitive on price and had the best timeline. Seven days start to finish, minimal drywall damage, and water pressure is dramatically better throughout the house. Worth every dollar."
"Our main line backed up on a Saturday night and the Magnet Plumbing crew showed up within the hour. They cleared it, camera inspected it, and gave us a quote to fix the damaged section. Professional from start to finish."
"Magnet Plumbing fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and installed a new toilet in the master bath on the same visit. They were in and out in a few hours and cleaned up everything before they left. Will absolutely use them again."
