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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tankless water heater installation for endless hot water without standby energy loss. We size, install, and commission all major tankless brands — and convert tank systems to more efficient tankless setups.
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.
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.
Professional drain cleaning using hydro-jetting and snaking to clear slow and clogged drains throughout your home. We remove grease, hair, roots, and mineral buildup — restoring full flow and preventing backups.
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.
Professional water heater replacement for tank, tankless, and hybrid models. We match the right unit to your household needs and install it with all required connections, expansion tanks, and safety components.
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.

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.
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.
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.

A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons per hour, and gas leaks pose fire and explosion risks.

Most Barrington homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with large families, frequent cooking, or older plumbing may need service more often. Tree roots, grease buildup, and hair are the most common causes of drain problems in Barrington. Magnet Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
Plumber rates in Barrington 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.
To prevent frozen pipes in Barrington, 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.
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 Barrington homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Barrington 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.
Real reviews from homeowners we have served across the country.
"Called Magnet Plumbing when our old 40-gallon tank started leaking. They came out the same day, gave me a fair quote on a tankless replacement, and had it running by end of day. Could not be happier with the work or the price."
"Main water line burst and we had a river in the front yard. They isolated the break, got the water back on within a few hours, and replaced the section cleanly the next day. Excellent emergency response."
