Our Plumbing Services in Essex

Our licensed Massachusetts plumbers provide a complete range of plumbing services for Essex homeowners and businesses.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks are a serious safety hazard. Our licensed plumbers use professional gas detection equipment to find leaks in supply lines, fittings, appliances, and meters — and recommend immediate repairs to protect your family.

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.

Pipe Repair

Professional pipe repair for leaks, corrosion, and breaks in supply lines, drain lines, and waste pipes. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the cause and perform lasting repairs using quality materials.

Water Line Repair

Water line breaks can disrupt your entire home's water supply. Our licensed plumbers repair or replace damaged main lines and service connections quickly, restoring full water pressure and flow to your property.

Repiping

If your home suffers from frequent leaks, low pressure, or discolored water, repiping may be the solution. We replace your entire water supply system with modern pipe materials and restore full pressure and water quality.

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.

Faucet Repair

A dripping faucet wastes hundreds of gallons per month. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair kitchen, bathroom, and utility faucets of all brands and types — stopping leaks and restoring smooth operation.

Commercial Plumbing

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.

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.

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.

Boiler Repair

When your boiler fails in winter, you need a plumber who understands hydronic systems. Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair all major boiler brands, restoring efficient heat to your home or building fast.

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.

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

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.

Backflow Testing

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

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 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.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heater replacement with same-day or next-day installation in most areas. We remove your old unit, recommend the right size and model for your needs, and install your new water heater to code.

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.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

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.

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.

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.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Regular grease trap cleaning for restaurants and food service operations. We pump and scrape grease traps on schedule and handle compliance documentation for health department inspections.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in Essex? We have answers.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Essex, MA?

To prevent frozen pipes in Essex, 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.

When should I replace my water heater in Essex, MA?

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 Essex homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

How do I shut off my water in a plumbing emergency in Essex?

Your main water shutoff valve in Essex 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 should I do if I smell gas in my Essex home?

If you smell gas in your Essex home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Magnet Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.

How much does a plumber cost in Essex, MA?

Plumber rates in Essex 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.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Essex?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Essex. 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 Essex and surrounding Massachusetts communities.
