Each month you find your water Bill steadily increasing and you can find no true reason for the raise. Large spikes in water usage can mean a possible leak within your home, which not only increases your monthly water bill but can cause a great deal of damage if left untreated.

Homeowners may believe that the water company is to blame, but very rarely is a county or city issue. However, water companies can offer advice on how to minimize water usage, once the plumbing issue has been addressed, so that homeowners don’t find themselves in a bind again with high water bills.

How is Your Toilet Flushing?

One of the biggest offenders of high water bills is the toilet. Unfortunately, toilets can cost homeowners dearly if they are not careful. If your toilet is constantly running, you are allowing your hard earned money go down the drain into a high water bill. Running toilets can leaks massive amounts of water throughout the day. This leak is easily identified because the toilet makes a “running” sound, which signifies that the tank seal is warped. It can also be an easy fix for homeowners too. Replacing the flap seal in the tank can often solve the problem.
