Your water bill is like a leaky bucket—it’s only a problem if you don’t know where the holes are. So, grab your sleuthing hat and check for drips. A single faucet that drips once per second can waste over 3,000 gallons a year—that’s like taking a shower every day for two months for free!
The easiest test? Read your water meter, then don’t use any water for two hours. If the number still changes, you’ve got a silent drip somewhere. Fixing a leaky toilet is often as simple as jiggling a flapper—and you can do that while feeling like a plumbing hero.
