We Can Determine the Cause of Your High Water Bill
If you’ve received an unusually high water bill in the St. Petersburg, Clearwater or Tampa, area, it could be a sign of a hidden water leak.
Leaks often reveal themselves through telltale signs. You might notice the sound of running water within your walls, warm spots on floors, or an unexplained increase in your water bill without changes in your daily routine.
Leaks can often be identified by these 8 common signs:
- The sound of running water in walls, floors, or ceilings when no taps are on.
- A sudden spike in your water bill without any changes in your usage habits.
- A drop in water pressure throughout your home or specific fixtures.
- Warm spots on the floor, a common sign of a hidden slab leak.
- Unexplained puddles or water pooling in your yard or near the foundation.
- Damp or wet spots on floors, walls, or ceilings that persist or worsen.
- Cracks in walls or flooring, which may indicate water damage beneath the surface.
- Mold or mildew growth, often accompanied by a musty odor.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it could point to a hidden leak. Addressing it early can save you from costly repairs. For expert help, contact I Find Leaks.
In some areas, the water department may even leave a notice at your door, indicating abnormal water usage. In some cities, such as Clearwater you can submit a High Water Bill Check Sheet. Pinellas County Utilities offers a comprehensive leak detection guide to help you identify and address common signs of water leaks in your home. This guide empowers you to take proactive steps to save money by checking for potential issues yourself.
Slab leaks—leaks that occur underneath the concrete foundation of your home—are a frequent cause of high water bills. Other potential causes include leaks in irrigation systems tied to city water or even a recent refill of your swimming pool. The best way to confirm a leak is to check your water meter, typically located near the curb of your property.
