Garbage disposal repair, replacement, and installation for kitchen sinks. We fix jammed, leaking, and failed units — or install new disposals with proper P-trap and dishwasher connections.
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.

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.
Reliable pipe repair throughout your home — from pinhole leaks in copper supply lines to cracked drain pipes and corroded fittings. We diagnose the root cause and fix the problem at the source.
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.

Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Hickory homeowners.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Hickory 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.
Plumber rates in Hickory 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 Hickory, 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.
Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups, and flooding all require immediate emergency plumbing response in Hickory. 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 Hickory and surrounding North Carolina communities.
Trenchless sewer repair in Hickory 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 Hickory often take 1 to 2 hours.
