Our Plumbing Services in Arcata

From 24/7 emergency response to complete repiping, we handle every plumbing need for homes and businesses in Arcata, CA.

Boiler Repair

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.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks are a serious safety hazard. Our licensed plumbers use professional gas detection equipment to find leaks in supply lines, fittings, appliances, and meters — and recommend immediate repairs to protect your family.

Water Heater Repair

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.

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.

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.

Water Line Repair

Water line breaks can disrupt your entire home's water supply. Our licensed plumbers repair or replace damaged main lines and service connections quickly, restoring full water pressure and flow to your property.

Leak Detection

Advanced leak detection using thermal imaging, electronic sensors, and pressure testing to find hidden leaks in walls, floors, and underground. Accurate detection prevents costly water damage and unnecessary demolition.

Sewer Camera Inspection

High-definition sewer camera inspection for residential and commercial properties. Our plumbers document the condition of your sewer line and provide a copy of the footage with our professional assessment.

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.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair replaces damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. We use pipe lining and pipe bursting methods to save time, money, and the mess of conventional excavation.

Faucet Repair

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.

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

Licensed gas line repair for natural gas and propane systems. We use pressure testing and calibrated gas detectors to locate leaks and perform safe, code-compliant repairs to restore your gas service.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heater replacement with same-day or next-day installation in most areas. We remove your old unit, recommend the right size and model for your needs, and install your new water heater to code.

Hydro Jetting

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.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

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.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line problems cause backups, odors, and potential health hazards. Our plumbers use video cameras to inspect the line, identify the damage, and repair or reline the pipe — often without full excavation.

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.

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.

Commercial Plumbing

Professional commercial plumbing services for all business types. From emergency repairs that keep your doors open to scheduled maintenance that prevents downtime, we protect your business operations.

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.

Toilet Repair

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.

Pipe Repair

Expert pipe repair for residential and commercial properties. We locate leaks and damage accurately, perform durable repairs, and pressure test the system to confirm everything holds before leaving.

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.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease trap maintenance keeps your kitchen drains flowing and your business compliant with local waste regulations. We provide scheduled pumping, manifesting, and inspection-ready documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Arcata homeowners.

What is trenchless sewer repair and is it right for my Arcata home?

Trenchless sewer repair in Arcata 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.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Arcata home?

If you smell gas in your Arcata 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.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in Arcata 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.

How do I find a licensed plumber in Arcata, CA?

When hiring a plumber in Arcata, always verify their CA license and insurance. A licensed plumber must pass state examinations and carry liability coverage that protects your property. Magnet Plumbing employs licensed, background-checked plumbers throughout California — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

When should I replace my water heater in Arcata, CA?

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 Arcata homeowners decide between repair and replacement.

What causes low water pressure in Arcata homes?

Low water pressure in Arcata 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 Arcata properties can also restrict flow significantly. A licensed plumber can diagnose the specific cause and recommend the right fix.
