The Importance of Early Detection

The moment you suspect that you have a water leak in your Richmond home, it is imperative to schedule a leak repair service as soon as possible to help prevent further damage from taking place. Water leaks can be detrimental – damaging walls, roofs, belongings, and precious keepsakes. One of the most obvious signs that you have a water leak on your hands comes from dripping faucets or leaking water heaters. However, the more damaging leaks tend to hide underground or behind walls and can go undetected for years. Luckily, at Leak Finders our expert plumbers are not only able to detect leaks but also offer quality repair services, whether you need pipe repair, slab leak repair, or a simple fix for your leaking faucet, we are the team for the job.

A Simple Leak Test

Not sure if the change in your water bill indicates a leak? There’s a fairly simple way to check.

To determine if your home has a water leak, follow these steps:

  • Turn off all water-using appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.).
  • Make sure all faucets are off. Ask family members not to use water, including flushing toilets, for 20 minutes or so, or do the test when others aren’t at home.
  • Locate your water meter. It is usually outside your home under a cover but maybe in your basement.
  • Remove the cover.
  • Note if any dials are moving. This means water is flowing through your pipes, but if you don’t see movement, there’s an additional step.
  • Write down the number on the meter’s dial (labeled in gallons or cubic feet).
  • In 20 minutes, check the meter again. If the number has changed, you have a leak.

Your Next Step

Even if you’ve determined that you have a leak, it can be hard to know exactly where the water’s coming from. Good thing you have Leak Finders.
