Leaks and Leak Detection


Dripping faucet

Both residential and commercial accounts lose a significant amount of water every year to leaks. The average residential home loses 14% of the water delivered to leaks.

 

Water leaks at commercial facilities can often waste much larger volumes of water because of their increased water service size and complexity of tracking water on site.

 

Checking for leaks and monitoring your water and sewer bills closely can help reduce the likelihood leaks will go unnoticed. 

 

Residential and commercial leak detection techniques are considerably different.
