Common questions about leak detection in South Addison.
Signs of a hidden water leak in South Addison 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 South Addison 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 South Addison, IL — 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.
Most residential leak detection jobs in South Addison are completed in 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of the home and the number of areas to investigate.
