Replace your water heater in Caddo Heights-South Highlands 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.

"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."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
"Once again Magnet Plumbing came to save the day. I manage a building of 49 units and we had a gas leak somewhere. The city shut the gas for the whole building. They showed up right away and got to work. They found the problem, fixed it, and were able to turn the gas back on so people could have dinner. Saul is amazing — right on time, very professional."
