What homeowners in Magna should know about leak repair
Leaks in Magna fall into three pain levels: visible (under-sink fitting drip, water heater drain valve), hidden but reachable (wall stud, basement ceiling, water meter), and slab leaks (under the concrete foundation, almost always a copper pipeline pinhole from mineral corrosion). All three get same-day diagnostics. We carry pipe-locating equipment, acoustic leak detection, and infrared cameras for the hidden ones — most Magna leaks get found within 30 minutes of arrival, then quoted as a flat-rate repair before any cutting starts. Magna's 20+ grain water is a major contributor to copper pipe pitting on homes built before 2000 — if you've had one slab leak, you'll typically have another within a few years.

My water bill spiked in Magna but I don't see a leak - where to look?
Three common Magna hidden leak sources: (1) toilet flapper not sealing - put food coloring in the tank, wait 15 min without flushing, check the bowl, (2) water heater T&P valve seeping into the drain pan, (3) slab leak - the meter spins even with everything off. We'll diagnose with the meter test + acoustic equipment on the same visit.
What is a slab leak and is it common in Magna?
A slab leak is a copper hot-water pipe pinhole leak under the concrete foundation. They're common in Magna homes built 1970-2000 because of the combination of (a) acidic/hard water, (b) copper pipe that wasn't properly insulated from concrete contact, (c) decades of mineral corrosion from inside. Telltale signs: warm spot on the floor, mildew smell in lower-level rooms, water bill spike, hot water pressure dropping.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover slab leak repair in Magna?
Most policies cover the WATER DAMAGE caused by a slab leak (flooring, drywall, contents) but NOT the cost of finding and repairing the leak itself. We provide detailed invoices that document the leak event for claims purposes. Document everything with photos before any repair work starts if you plan to file a claim.
Should I repair a slab leak or repipe the whole house?
Depends on age and history. First slab leak on a Magna home under 30 years old: spot repair. Second slab leak (or first on a home over 35 years old with original copper): consider full PEX repipe ($8K-$15K but solves it permanently). Multiple slab leaks in a single year is a strong sign the entire copper system is at end-of-life.
