Leak Detection |
An undiscovered leak in your home's water supply could end up costing you hundreds of dollars a month or even result in severe damage to the structure of your home. If you think you might have a leak, check out these common problem areas for signs of escaping water.
|
Examine each of the toilets in your home. Put a dye tablet or food coloring in the toilet tank. Wait about 30 minutes and check to see if the dye appears in the bowl. If it does, you have a leak that needs repaired promptly.
|
Check the pressure relief and drain valves on your hot water heater for pooling water.
|
Look for leaky shower heads. Pay attention to evidence of water damage around sinks and faucets.
|
Inspect your home's exterior hose bibbs. "Bibbs" are the faucet like pipes on the side of your home you use to hook up a water hose.
|
Assess the condition of any water accessories you have in your garden, including hoses, taps, fountains, water ornaments and irrigation systems.
|
|
Scan for clues that might indicated a break in your underground water lines. Look for standing water, overly soft or muddy patches or grass that's significantly greener or growing at a faster rate than the rest of the lawn.
|
|
Check for leaks in your swimming pool or hot tub.
|
|
Check for leaks in barns and out-buildings.
