The Leak You Can't See
A running toilet or a hidden leak can quietly waste thousands of gallons and drive your water bill up month after month. This guide covers the warning signs, a few simple checks you can do yourself, and when to call Ruben at (210) 425-1360.
Signs of a Hidden Leak
A water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water when every fixture is off, damp spots on floors or walls, or a toilet that refills on its own.
Two Quick Checks
Turn off every fixture and watch your water meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, water is going somewhere. Then put a few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank. Color in the bowl without flushing means a leaking flapper.
When to Call Speedy's
If the meter keeps moving, the toilet still runs after a new flapper, or you find water where it shouldn't be, call Ruben at (210) 425-1360 before a small leak becomes a big repair.
