Signs the water is going somewhere

One of these on its own can have an ordinary explanation. Two or more together usually point to a leak.

The bill jumped for no reason. No guests, no new appliances, no extra watering, but the gallons went up.
Running water with everything off. A faint hiss or trickle in a wall or under the floor when no tap is open.
The meter keeps moving. With every fixture off, the meter’s leak indicator still turns.
Damp or stained spots. A stain on the ceiling or soft drywall can sit right below or beside a hidden line.
A toilet that refills on its own. One of the most common causes of a high bill, and easy to miss.

Check your meter in a few minutes

This quick test tells you whether water is leaving the system before you call anyone.

Turn everything off. Every faucet, shower and appliance, and make sure no toilet is refilling.
Find the meter. It’s usually in a box near the street. Note the reading, or watch the small leak indicator on its face.
Wait 15 to 30 minutes. Use no water at all. If the reading changed or the indicator moved, water is escaping somewhere.

How we find it

We start with the simple causes, like toilets, fixtures and the water heater, then test the lines themselves to narrow down where the water is going. It could be inside a wall, under the slab, or on the line between the meter and the house.

Once we know, we show you what we found, explain the repair options and give you a free price estimate before any work starts.
