Your main water shutoff valve in South Lyme 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.

Trenchless sewer repair in South Lyme replaces damaged sewer lines using pipe lining or pipe bursting methods — without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping.

Magnet Plumbing uses camera inspection to confirm trenchless repair is the right approach for your specific line condition.
Plumber rates in South Lyme typically range from $100 to $250 per hour depending on the type of work and time of day.

Magnet Plumbing provides free estimates so you know the full cost before any work begins.
Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in South Lyme often take 1 to 2 hours. More complex jobs like slab leak repair, water line replacement, or water heater installation typically take a half to a full day. Whole-home repiping can take 2 to 4 days. Magnet Plumbing provides a clear time estimate before starting any job.
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 South Lyme homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
To prevent frozen pipes in South Lyme, 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.
