Common questions about leak detection in Maplewood.
Signs of a hidden water leak in Maplewood 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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood, MD — 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.

"Magnet cleared our main drain line and scoped it with a camera to show us exactly what was going on. Honest, thorough, and priced well."
"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."
"Hydro jetted our main line after years of slow drains. Huge difference — everything drains fast now. Well worth it."
