Have questions about plumbing in Los Altos? We have answers.
Plumber rates in Los Altos 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.
Low water pressure in Los Altos 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 Los Altos properties can also restrict flow significantly. A licensed plumber can diagnose the specific cause and recommend the right fix.
To prevent frozen pipes in Los Altos, 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 Los Altos 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 Los Altos. Magnet Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
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 Los Altos homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
If you smell gas in your Los Altos home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Magnet Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.

"Replaced two old toilets with new comfort-height models. The installer was respectful, took his shoes off at the door, and hauled away the old toilets. Small things that make a big difference."
"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."
"Our main line backed up on a Saturday night and the Magnet Plumbing crew showed up within the hour. They cleared it, camera inspected it, and gave us a quote to fix the damaged section. Professional from start to finish."
