Modern plumbing diagnostics have changed the game for homeowners in South Portland. Rather than tearing open walls to find a leak or guessing at the cause of low pressure, Magnet Plumbing uses electronic leak detection, thermal imaging cameras, and camera inspection tools to pinpoint problems precisely — saving you time, money, and unnecessary property damage.
Our South Portland, OR plumbers combine that diagnostic technology with quality materials and skilled workmanship to deliver repairs that hold. We do not patch problems temporarily — we fix the root cause and use components rated for long-term durability so your plumbing stays reliable for years after we leave.
Here is what sets Magnet Plumbing apart from other plumbing companies in South Portland.
We use thermal imaging cameras, electronic moisture meters, and acoustic listening devices to find hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground — without tearing into your property unnecessarily.
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency crews are on call around the clock — burst pipes, gas leaks, and flooding get a fast response any time you call.
Every plumber we send carries a valid state license and full liability insurance. You get peace of mind knowing the work is done legally and that your property is protected if anything goes wrong.
We understand your time is valuable. For most plumbing jobs, we offer same-day or next-day scheduling so you are not left waiting days for a plumber to show up. Emergency calls are prioritized immediately.
We stand behind our work. If a repair or installation does not perform as expected within the warranty period, we come back and make it right at no cost. Your satisfaction is our ultimate measure of success.
Have questions about plumbing in South Portland? We have answers.
Your main water shutoff valve in South Portland 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.
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 South Portland homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in South Portland. 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 South Portland and surrounding Oregon communities.
Low water pressure in South Portland 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 South Portland properties can also restrict flow significantly. A licensed plumber can diagnose the specific cause and recommend the right fix.
Trenchless sewer repair in South Portland 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.
Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in South Portland 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.
Real reviews from homeowners we have served across the country.
"I never gush over crew, but this company saved us. Plumbing back-ups are a non-starter for most days but on a Friday panic call, Saul picked up and was there first thing. He problem solves. Saul and his team are undeniably the most professional plumbing team I have ever hired. On time, reasonable rate, professional work and communication, great personalities, and they cleaned up when done."
"Great job! Definitely recommend to others. Quick response, professional work, and fair pricing. Would use again without hesitation."
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
