Our Plumbing Services in San Luis Obispo

Every plumbing service you need, delivered by licensed professionals who know the San Luis Obispo area.

Drain Cleaning

Clogged drains slow your life down. Our licensed plumbers clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, main sewer lines, and floor drains using professional hydro-jetting equipment that cleans the entire pipe interior.

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.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Professional grease trap cleaning for commercial kitchens of all sizes. Reliable schedules, full compliance paperwork, and a clean trap every time — keeping your operation running and inspection-ready.

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.

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.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heater installation for endless hot water without standby energy loss. We size, install, and commission all major tankless brands — and convert tank systems to more efficient tankless setups.

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.

Gas Leak Detection

Accurate gas leak detection before small leaks become emergencies. We test your entire gas system using professional detection equipment and pressure gauges, identify any leaks, and perform safe code-compliant repairs.

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.

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.

Backflow Testing

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency Plumber

Plumbing emergencies happen day and night. Our 24/7 emergency plumbers arrive quickly with the tools and materials to handle any urgent plumbing situation — protecting your property and restoring service fast.

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.

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.

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.

Pipe Repair

Expert pipe repair for residential and commercial properties. We locate leaks and damage accurately, perform durable repairs, and pressure test the system to confirm everything holds before leaving.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from San Luis Obispo homeowners.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in San Luis Obispo 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 can I tell if I have a slab leak in my San Luis Obispo home?

Signs of a slab leak in San Luis Obispo 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.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in San Luis Obispo?

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

How do I prevent frozen pipes in San Luis Obispo, CA?

To prevent frozen pipes in San Luis Obispo, 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 is trenchless sewer repair and is it right for my San Luis Obispo home?

Trenchless sewer repair in San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo, CA?
