🚰 A Quick Water Line Check Could Save You Money
Over the past week, I’ve had several calls for water leaks between the street meter and the home. With the hot, dry weather we’ve been experiencing, the ground can dry out and shift, which may put stress on underground water lines.
One thing I’ve noticed is that some of these leaks are not creating the usual soft spots or visible water above ground. In dry soil, leaking water can soak straight down or travel underground, making the leak difficult to locate.
I recommend taking a minute today to check your water meter:
💧 Make sure all the water in your home is turned off.
💧 Check your meter to see if it is still registering water usage.
💧 If the meter is moving when everything is off, you may have a hidden leak.
A small leak can turn into a big water bill or a much larger repair. One of our customers experienced a $1300 bill.
If you suspect a leak, give Lewisville Plumbing Pros a call. We can help determine whether the problem is inside the home or somewhere along the underground service line.
