Every so often we come across the news that someone we know has got a disproportionate water bill which it was due to a major water leak that went unnoticed for a few months.
But it also may be the case of small water leaks go unnoticed for very long periods, even years, which are draining our pockets at a steady rate so we do not notice, unless we check.
If you haven’t watch it yet, have a look to the video where we show how to read a water meter, because in the video we also show and inexpensive way to look for water leaks. In any case, on the table below we show how much money an water the smallest leak can cause.
The simplest way to check for a water leak is to just check at the water meter:
1.- Stop using all water
2.- Record the number on the water meter
3.- Wait for a minimum of five hours (maybe during the night)
4.- Check again the water meter
