Leaks Troubleshooting Medium Safety

Why’s my water bill so high?

A sudden spike in your water bill usually means water is escaping somewhere it shouldn’t. Common culprits include:

Hidden leaks – A slab leak or underground water line leak can waste thousands of gallons without visible signs. Look for wet spots in your yard or unexplained damp areas.

Running toilet – A toilet that won’t stop running can waste 200+ gallons per day. Do a dye test: put food coloring in the tank and wait 15 minutes. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak.

Dripping faucets – Even small drips add up over a billing cycle.

T&P valve release – Your water heater’s temperature and pressure relief valve may be releasing unusual amounts of water.

How to check for hidden leaks: Turn off all water in your home, then check your water meter. If it’s still moving, you have a leak somewhere.

If you suspect a hidden leak, we can locate it with leak detection equipment – often without tearing up your floors. If you find and repair a leak, some water companies will work with you on a bill adjustment. Would you like help scheduling a service?
