Common questions about leak detection in O'Hare.
Signs of a hidden water leak in O'Hare 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.
Undetected hidden leaks in O'Hare homes cause progressive water damage to framing, insulation, and drywall. Within 24 to 48 hours moisture enables mold growth.

"Replaced a corroded outdoor hose bib and a leaky kitchen faucet. In and out in under an hour. Professional work, fair price."
"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."
