A sudden jump in your water bill usually means water is leaking somewhere, most often from a running toilet, a broken irrigation line, a dripping water heater, or a hidden leak under the slab. Start by checking your water meter with everything turned off. If it moves, you have a leak. Veteran’s Plumbing finds hidden leaks in Miramar homes and across Broward.

How Do I Test for a Leak?

Turn off all faucets, appliances and sprinklers. Watch the water meter for 30 minutes. If the reading changes, water is escaping. Then shut off the valves to toilets one at a time to see if the meter stops.

What Are the Most Common Hidden Leaks?

  • Running toilets, often silent
  • Irrigation lines broken by mowers or roots
  • Slab leaks under concrete floors
  • Water heater relief valves dripping into a drain
  • Outdoor spigots and hoses

Could It Be a Billing or Meter Issue?

Sometimes. Compare readings with your bill and call your utility if the numbers do not match. If the meter is moving with no water in use, the problem is on your side.

Why Should I Fix Leaks Quickly?

Leaks waste water and money, and hidden leaks can damage floors, walls and foundations and lead to mold. Early repair costs far less than repairing water damage.
