Answers to frequently asked leak detection questions from Olivette homeowners.
Signs of a hidden water leak in Olivette homes include an unexplained increase in your monthly water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, musty or mildew odors in walls or cabinets, discoloration or bubbling paint, soft spots in walls or flooring, and visible mold growth. If you notice any of these signs, call Magnet Plumbing for professional leak detection.
Hidden pipe leaks in Olivette are commonly caused by pinhole corrosion in copper pipes from local water chemistry, failed pipe joints from age or movement, improper original installation, high water pressure stressing pipe walls, and physical damage from renovation work. Homes built before 1990 with original copper or galvanized pipes are most susceptible to hidden leaks.
Magnet Plumbing uses non-invasive leak detection technology in Olivette, MO — thermal imaging cameras that reveal moisture behind walls, electronic acoustic listeners that amplify the sound of escaping water, and moisture meters that confirm wet areas without any cutting or drilling. We locate the leak first, then make only the access needed to repair it.
Undetected hidden leaks in Olivette homes cause progressive water damage to framing, insulation, and drywall. Within 24 to 48 hours moisture enables mold growth.

Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Magnet Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Needed our sewer line replaced and they recommended trenchless. It saved our driveway and landscaping and was finished in one day. I had no idea how fast trenchless repair could be."
"Smelled gas in the basement late at night and called the emergency line. A plumber was dispatched within the hour, located the leak at a corroded fitting on the water heater gas line, and repaired it on the spot. They even came back the next day to re-verify with the gas detector. Truly appreciated the care taken."
