Signs of a hidden water leak in Kirkwood 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.

Hidden pipe leaks in Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood, 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.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Called Magnet Plumbing when our old 40-gallon tank started leaking. They came out the same day, gave me a fair quote on a tankless replacement, and had it running by end of day. Could not be happier with the work or the price."
"They are the best. They come when they say they will, fair pricing, are attentive to detail, protect the floors, are friendly and professional. Very different from plumbers we have used in the past. Thank you Saul!"
"These guys are amazing, very professional, friendly, clean and neat on their job and appearance. I had a clog on my main line at 11pm on a Saturday and they came and got the job done, so now they are my go-to guys. I recommend them to my family so you know they are good once you trust them with your family's plumbing."
