Our Plumbing Services in San Marcos

Our licensed California plumbers provide a complete range of plumbing services for San Marcos 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

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.

Faucet Repair

Expert faucet repair and installation for dripping, leaking, and hard-to-turn faucets in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas. We repair or replace cartridges, O-rings, seats, and stems — or install new fixtures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Boiler Repair

Boiler repair and installation for residential and commercial hydronic heating systems. We service gas, oil, and electric boilers for reliable winter heating — diagnosing pressure, circulation, and combustion issues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Water Heater Repair

No hot water? Our licensed plumbers diagnose and repair water heater problems on the first visit whenever possible. We service all major tank and tankless brands and carry common repair parts on our service vehicles.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Video sewer inspection reveals exactly what is happening inside your sewer line — no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation. Essential for pre-purchase inspections and diagnosing recurring sewer problems.

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.

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.

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.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting service using high-pressure water to scour the interior of your drain and sewer lines. Removes grease, scale, tree roots, and years of buildup that mechanical snaking cannot reach.

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.

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.

Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is required annually in many jurisdictions. We test your preventer, document the results, and submit paperwork to your local water authority — keeping you in compliance and your drinking water safe.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in San Marcos? We have answers.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in San Marcos 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 long does a plumbing repair take in San Marcos, CA?

Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in San Marcos often take 1 to 2 hours. More complex jobs like slab leak repair, water line replacement, or water heater installation typically take a half to a full day. Whole-home repiping can take 2 to 4 days. Magnet Plumbing provides a clear time estimate before starting any job.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in San Marcos?

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

How do I find a licensed plumber in San Marcos, CA?

When hiring a plumber in San Marcos, always verify their CA 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 California — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

When should I replace my water heater in San Marcos, CA?

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 San Marcos homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in San Marcos, CA?

To prevent frozen pipes in San Marcos, 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.
