Our Plumbing Services in Wilmington

Comprehensive plumbing solutions tailored to Wilmington properties. Click any service to learn more.

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.

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.

Drain Cleaning

Clogged drains slow your life down. Our licensed plumbers clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, main sewer lines, and floor drains using professional hydro-jetting equipment that cleans the entire pipe interior.

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.

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.

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 Leak Detection

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency Plumber

When a plumbing crisis hits, you need a licensed plumber immediately. We answer emergency calls around the clock and dispatch crews fast — stopping leaks, restoring water service, and preventing further damage.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Water Line Repair

Professional water line repair and replacement for main supply lines and service connections. We diagnose breaks, corrosion, and leaks, then perform durable repairs or full replacements using quality materials.

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.

Water Heater Replacement

When your water heater reaches the end of its life, we make replacement easy. Our plumbers handle everything — disconnection, removal, installation, and final testing — so you have reliable hot water again fast.

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.

Leak Detection

Find hidden leaks before they cause serious damage. Our leak detection specialists use thermal cameras and electronic listening devices to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground with precision.

Toilet Repair

Professional toilet repair and installation. We diagnose running, leaking, rocking, and weak-flushing toilets and restore full performance with quality replacement parts. New installations handled the same way.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line repair and replacement for cracked, collapsed, root-infiltrated, and offset pipes. We use camera inspection to diagnose the problem and recommend spot repairs, pipe lining, or full replacement.

Backflow Testing

Annual backflow testing and prevention device installation for residential and commercial properties. Our certified testers verify your backflow preventer and handle compliance paperwork with your water authority.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about plumbing services in Wilmington, NC.

How much does a plumber cost in Wilmington, NC?

Plumber rates in Wilmington 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.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my Wilmington home?

Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Wilmington 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.

What plumbing emergencies require immediate service in Wilmington?

Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Wilmington. 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 Wilmington and surrounding North Carolina communities.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in Wilmington 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.

When should I replace my water heater in Wilmington, NC?

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 Wilmington homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

What causes low water pressure in Wilmington homes?

Low water pressure in Wilmington homes is often caused by mineral deposits clogging aerators and pipes, a partially closed shutoff valve, a failing pressure regulator, or a hidden water line leak. Corroded or deteriorated pipes in older Wilmington properties can also restrict flow significantly. A licensed plumber can diagnose the specific cause and recommend the right fix.
