FAQs

How can I check if I have a leak?

An unusual spike in your water bill is an easy identifier for leaks, if suspicion arises you can always check the water meter too. If the indicator on the meter is spinning, after you have turned off the water valve located inside, you have a leak. You can also put food coloring in the toilet tank. If the dye runs to the bowl, that indicates a leak in the flapper of the toilet. If the water flows over the fill valve, this identifies a ball cock issue. Call our plumbing contractors at Decino Plumbing, Inc. if you think you may have a leak.
