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.

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.

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.

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.

Water Heater Replacement

When your water heater reaches the end of its life, we make replacement easy. Our plumbers handle everything — disconnection, removal, installation, and final testing — so you have reliable hot water again fast.

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.

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.

Commercial Plumbing

Professional commercial plumbing services for all business types. From emergency repairs that keep your doors open to scheduled maintenance that prevents downtime, we protect your business operations.

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.

Leak Detection

Advanced leak detection using thermal imaging, electronic sensors, and pressure testing to find hidden leaks in walls, floors, and underground. Accurate detection prevents costly water damage and unnecessary demolition.

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.

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.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection for residential and commercial properties. Our plumbers document the condition of your sewer line and provide a copy of the footage with our professional assessment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Professional garbage disposal installation and repair. We handle electrical connections, mounting flange replacement, and drain line connections for reliable, leak-free kitchen sink drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in Amherst? We have answers.

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

Trenchless sewer repair in Amherst 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 shut off my water in a plumbing emergency in Amherst?

Your main water shutoff valve in Amherst 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.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Amherst?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Amherst. 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 Amherst and surrounding New York communities.

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

Signs of a slab leak in Amherst 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 find a licensed plumber in Amherst, NY?

When hiring a plumber in Amherst, always verify their NY 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 New York — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Amherst, NY?

To prevent frozen pipes in Amherst, 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.
