If you think you have a leak in your home, there's an easy way you can check. Go out to your water meter and record the level. Make sure no one uses any water for a few hours, then go back and check the meter again (it's easiest to do this when everyone goes to bed, then check it again first thing in the morning). If the level has changed, you probably have a leak.Can leaks get bigger over time?
Yes. Water leaking out of your pipes or fixtures will eventually cause enough corrosion that even a pinhole-sized leak can eventually grow and potentially cause damage to your home.Is there anything I shouldn't put down my toilet?
You really shouldn't put anything down your toilet, except what's supposed to go down there. Putting items down the toilet will likely require plumbers to come out to your home. Avoid putting in things like: -Baby wipes, napkins, facial tissue, or paper towels. While these will flush fine, they don't break down the way toilet tissue does and will cause clogs or damage your septic system.Why does my hot water heater not work as well in the winter?
When it gets really cold out, the water that enters your home is much colder. This causes the hot water in your tank to lose a lot more heat when it mixes with the incoming cold water. In addition, you may have a buildup of sediment in your tank that's inhibiting your water heater's performance.How much water is wasted from a dripping faucet?
A dripping faucet can waste a surprising amount of water. To put it into perspective, 15,140 drops equate to one gallon. A faucet dripping 10 times per minute results in 14,400 drips daily, amounting to 347 gallons annually from a single faucet. With three such faucets, the waste exceeds 1,000 gallons yearly. To calculate your faucet's water waste, count the drips per minute, multiply by 60 for hourly drips or 1440 for daily drips, then divide by 15,140 to determine gallons wasted.
