Why Is My Water Bill So High?
If your water bill has gone up significantly in the recent days or weeks, you may be experiencing an underground leak. If you're suspicious, check your water meter to see if it's spinning.
Water Meter Running Non-Stop?
A constantly spinning water meter is a clear sign that water is flowing even when all taps are off. This usually means there's a leak somewhere in your system that needs immediate attention.
Why Has My Water Pressure Dropped?
A noticeable decrease in water pressure could indicate a leak in your plumbing system. Leaks can reduce the flow of water reaching your faucets, affecting the overall pressure.
Unexpected Mushy Spots in Your Yard?
Wet spots forming on your property, especially in dry conditions, suggest a possible leak underground that is pushing water to the surface.
Notice Musty Odors Indoors?
Musty or moldy smells can be a sign of excess moisture from leaks hidden within your walls or floors, leading to mold growth that poses health risks.
Unusual Vegetation Growth
If there’s an area of your garden where the vegetation is noticeably more lush or green, it could be due to an underground water leak nourishing these plants.
Are There New Cracks in Your Foundation?
Water leaks beneath slabs or foundations can lead to cracks and structural damage. It’s important to address these leaks promptly to avoid extensive repairs.
Hearing Running Water When All is Quiet?
If you hear the sound of running water when no taps are open, it’s a potential sign of a leak that's actively wasting water and needs fixing.
