Commercial Plumbing

Commercial plumbing needs are different from residential. Our plumbers understand backflow requirements, floor drain regulations, grease trap compliance, and the scheduling demands of active business operations.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Video sewer inspection reveals exactly what is happening inside your sewer line — no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation. Essential for pre-purchase inspections and diagnosing recurring sewer problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about plumbing in Dover? We have answers.

How much does a plumber cost in Dover, DE?

Plumber rates in Dover 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.

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

Your main water shutoff valve in Dover 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 prevent frozen pipes in Dover, DE?

To prevent frozen pipes in Dover, 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.

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

If you smell gas in your Dover 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 find a licensed plumber in Dover, DE?

When hiring a plumber in Dover, always verify their DE 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 Delaware — call (844) 618-0753 to schedule service or get a free estimate.

What causes low water pressure in Dover homes?

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