If you notice a water leak but aren’t too sure where it is coming from, there are a couple of steps you can take to locate the source yourself.
Step 1 – Turn Off All Fixtures that Use Water at Your Property
Before you attempt to find a water leak, complete the following to eliminate any false signs of water leaks:
- Tightly turn off all plumbing fixtures including showers, taps, and sprinklers.
- Make sure that appliances such as your dishwasher or washing machine are off.
Step 2 – Check the Water Meter
Now that you know there isn’t any water accidentally dripping out of any fixtures, inspect your water meter to see if it is turning.
If it is, your property likely has a water leak.
