Leaky Faucets and Toilets: The Silent Drain on Your Wallet




A Small Leak Can Cost You a Fortune

You might think a leaky faucet or toilet is a minor inconvenience, but it can actually be a major drain on your wallet. Over time, even a small leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water, leading to significantly higher water bills.

The Rising Cost of Water

Water utility prices are steadily increasing. This means that every drop of water wasted is costing you more and more. A persistent leak can add up to hundreds of dollars per month, especially if it's left unchecked.

How to Spot a Leak

  • Check Your Water Meter: If your water meter is spinning when no water is being used, you likely have a leak somewhere in your home.

  • Listen for Unusual Noises: Pay attention to any unusual sounds coming from your pipes, such as hissing or dripping.

  • Look for Signs of Water Damage: Check for water stains, mold, or mildew around your plumbing fixtures.

  • The Dye Test: Add a few drops of food coloring to your toilet tank. If the color appears in the bowl within 30 minutes without flushing, you have a leak.
