Signs of a Hidden Leak in Your Home
Some leaks stay hidden behind walls or under floors, and the wasted water adds up. Nationally, the average household's leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons of water a year, according to EPA WaterSense leak guidance.
Want a quick check? The EPA suggests reading your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak.
Check for these signs:
A water meter that moves when no water is in use
A water bill that rises while your water use stays the same
A toilet that runs or refills on its own
Damp spots, stains, or a musty smell on walls, ceilings, or floors
Warm spots on the floor
Lower water pressure than usual
If the meter test points to a leak, call 713-357-0876 to schedule a leak check. Our plumbers may help find the source before it causes bigger damage.
How to Help Prevent Clogs and Sewer Backups in Houston
What goes down your drains matters. The City of Houston says 70% of Houston sewer overflows are caused by clogs from fats, oils, and grease and by flushed wipes. That figure comes from Houston Public Works guidance, which also shares these tips:
Send only the three P's (pee, poo, and toilet paper), soap, and water down your drains.
If a toilet backs up, check your cleanout at the street. If sewer water is standing by the pipe, call 311.
Watch for these signs of a sewer line problem:
Several drains slow down at once
Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
Water backing up into a tub or shower when you flush
Sewage odors indoors or in the yard
Clogs that come back after drain cleaning
If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call a plumber. A professional inspection may help pinpoint the cause.
