Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year and increase your bill. The most common household leaks are easy to identify and repair. Follow the steps below before calling for service.
Check Your Water Meter
Look for movement when water is not being used. A spinning dial or moving indicator often means a leak is present.
Toilet Leaks
Place a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, the flapper valve is leaking.
Faucet and Fixture Leaks
Listen and check for drips under sinks, outdoor spigots, and basement plumbing.
Underground or Outdoor Leaks
Watch for soft spots, wet soil, or unusually green patches of grass along your service line.
When to Call for Help
If you believe the leak is on the service line side, or you cannot locate the source, contact our office for assistance.
