Answers to frequently asked slab leak repair questions from Edwardsville homeowners.
Common signs of a slab leak in Edwardsville include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or wet spots on floors, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, low water pressure, cracks appearing in walls or flooring, and mold or mildew odors. If you notice any of these, call Magnet Plumbing for professional slab leak detection.
Slab leak detection and repair in Edwardsville typically takes 1 day for direct access repairs and concrete patching, or 1 to 2 days for pipe rerouting through walls. More extensive rerouting involving multiple floors or complex routing may take longer. Magnet Plumbing provides a clear timeline after the detection assessment.
Magnet Plumbing uses electronic leak detection equipment — acoustic listening devices, electronic amplifiers, and thermal imaging cameras — to pinpoint the leak location under your Edwardsville slab before any concrete is cut. This precision means we only open the slab where necessary, minimizing repair costs and disruption.
Slab leaks in Edwardsville are most commonly caused by pipe corrosion in copper lines from soil chemistry or water quality, pipe movement from soil shifting or seismic activity, poor original installation with pipes that rub against concrete, and high water pressure that stresses pipe walls over time. Older homes with copper supply lines are most susceptible.
