Signs of a hidden water leak in North Shirley 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 North Shirley 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.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Hydro jetted our main line after years of slow drains. Huge difference — everything drains fast now. Well worth it."
"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."
"Been meaning to write this for a while. Our sewer line collapsed and we had three quotes — two wanted to dig up the whole yard, Magnet recommended trenchless. They finished in two days, no damage to the lawn, and the price came in thousands under the other guys. The Magnet team knows what they are doing and I will not hesitate to call them again."
