Our licensed Connecticut plumbers provide a complete range of plumbing services for Waterbury homeowners and businesses.
Commercial plumbing needs are different from residential. Our plumbers understand backflow requirements, floor drain regulations, grease trap compliance, and the scheduling demands of active business operations.
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.
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.
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.
Professional water heater replacement for tank, tankless, and hybrid models. We match the right unit to your household needs and install it with all required connections, expansion tanks, and safety components.
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.

Common questions about plumbing services in Waterbury, CT.
To prevent frozen pipes in Waterbury, 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.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Consider replacement when your unit is over 10 years old, produces rusty or discolored water, makes rumbling or popping noises, or requires frequent repairs. Magnet Plumbing offers free water heater assessments to help Waterbury homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
Your main water shutoff valve in Waterbury 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.
Plumber rates in Waterbury typically range from $100 to $250 per hour depending on the type of work and time of day. Common jobs like drain cleaning run $150 to $300, while slab leak repair and repiping projects cost significantly more. Magnet Plumbing provides free estimates so you know the full cost before any work begins.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Waterbury 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.
Signs of a slab leak in Waterbury 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.

"These guys are amazing, very professional, friendly, clean and neat on their job and appearance.

I recommend them to my family so you know they are good once you trust them with your family's plumbing."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
