Our Plumbing Services in Richmond

Every plumbing service you need, delivered by licensed professionals who know the Richmond area.

Slab Leak Repair

Slab leaks are hidden under your concrete foundation and can cause thousands in damage if left untreated. Our licensed plumbers locate and repair slab leaks quickly with minimal disruption to your home.

Sump Pump Repair

A failing sump pump during heavy rain can flood your basement in minutes. Our licensed plumbers respond quickly to repair or replace failed pumps, restore drainage, and protect your property from water damage.

Gas Leak Detection

Professional gas leak detection using calibrated detectors and pressure testing to find leaks in gas lines, connections, appliances, and meters. We locate the leak source precisely and recommend repairs immediately.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Commercial Plumbing

Full-service commercial plumbing for restaurants, offices, retail, multi-family, and industrial properties. We handle new construction, maintenance contracts, fixture replacement, and urgent repairs.

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.

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.

Pipe Repair

Expert pipe repair for residential and commercial properties. We locate leaks and damage accurately, perform durable repairs, and pressure test the system to confirm everything holds before leaving.

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.

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 Richmond? We have answers.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in Richmond 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 much does a plumber cost in Richmond, VA?

Plumber rates in Richmond 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.

How do I find a licensed plumber in Richmond, VA?

When hiring a plumber in Richmond, always verify their VA 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 Virginia — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

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

Trenchless sewer repair in Richmond 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.

When should I replace my water heater in Richmond, VA?

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 Richmond homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Richmond, VA?

To prevent frozen pipes in Richmond, 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.
