The Meter & The Bowl

If you have noticed a recent bump in your home water bill but are using roughly the same amount of water each month, chances are, you may have a water leak somewhere.

Water leaks often times go unnoticed and unheard (you actually may hear a leak before you see it), as it can be a problem within the foundation of your home. There are two things you can do that can be vital in detecting and diagnosing a hidden water leak.

Check your toilet, and check your meter.

A toilet leak can be extremely annoying, as it can use a significant amount of water in a very short time. This kind of leak, however, is relatively easy to diagnose with the help of – believe it or not – food coloring. Remove the tank lid and apply a few drops inside. Wait for roughly a half-hour, and then glance at the water in the bowl. If the water has changed color, you have a leak between the tank and the bowl.

You also should check your water meter periodically. Find and close your shut-off valve, and then locate your water meter. Observe to see if the meter is running. If it is while the shut-off valve is closed, you have a leak underground.
