Why Your Water Bill Is Skyrocketing — And What You Can Do About It
Getting hit with a shockingly high water bill? If your usage habits haven’t changed, but your costs have, you may have an invisible problem—a hidden water leak.
Here’s how to figure out what’s going on and how to fix it fast.
Top Reasons for a Sudden Water Bill Increase
1. Undetected Water Leaks
A small pinhole leak in a pipe can waste hundreds of gallons a month. Underground slab leaks or leaks behind walls often go unnoticed—until they show up on your utility bill.
2. Running Toilets or Dripping Faucets
A constantly running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day. A slow-dripping faucet might seem harmless, but over a month, it adds up.
3. Irrigation System Issues
Cracked sprinkler pipes or faulty valves often go undetected—especially if they’re underground or only run at night.
4. Faulty Water Softeners or Appliances
Malfunctioning water softeners, dishwashers, or washing machines can cycle improperly, drawing more water than needed
If you suspect a leak but can’t find the source, it’s time to call a professional. At First Class Leak Detection, we use non-invasive tools to pinpoint leaks—no digging, no guessing.
