Detecting Water Leaks at Your Property

• Water rippling in the toilet bowl.
• Water emptying and filling the bowl constantly when not being flushed.
• Water puddling around the base of the toilet.
• Overflow pipe in tank.

Oftentimes, toilet leaks go unnoticed because they are SILENT and do not provide the above warning signs! Conducting a dye test to confirm if your toilet is silently leaking is recommended.

       Conduct a dye test to detect toilet leaks:

• Put a few drops of food coloring or one specialized leak detection strip in the toilet tank.
• Wait 20 minutes without flushing the toilet.
• If the color spreads into the toilet bowl, there’s a leak.

• Any amount of water dripping or puddling from the fixtures once the shower is turned off.

• Any amount of water dripping from the sink once turned off.
• Water puddling underneath the cabinet from the pipe that feeds the fixture.

• Broken sprinkler heads/nozzles streaming out water.
• Water running consistently at all hours.
• Water consistently puddling on the grass.
• Check timer. Faulty timing can cause water to stay on.

• Hose left on running when not in use.
• Water spraying where the hose connects to the spigot.
• Any amount of water dripping from the spigot.
• Ensuring all outdoor water fixtures are shut off and winterized.

• Any amount of water dripping/puddling from the water connection to the appliance.
• Water being used to fill a humidifier attached to your heating system.

• Any amount of water dripping from the ceiling, protruding from the wall, or puddling on the ground.
• Spraying noise.
• If you hear water running in any pipe when no fixtures are being used, most likely, there is a leak.

• Filling hoses left on accidentally.
• Automatic pool/Jacuzzi filler running constantly.
• Water Puddling under or around the base of the unit.

• Any amount of water leaking or puddling from the heater (leaks will cause the tank to keep filling).

• Decreased water pressure.
• Discolored water.
• Water bubbling up in your yard or showing on outside surfaces.
• Hissing or bubbling sounds coming from pipes.
• Meter pit box full of water or overflowing.
