Stop Expensive Damage of Water Leaks to Your Home or Business
According to the Alliance for Water Efficiency, the average home loses between 2,000 and 20,000 gallons of water each year because of leaks. Dripping faucets and leaky water heaters are simple to locate, but other leaks—in the toilet flapper valves or water supply lines—can go undiscovered for a long time.
Even minor water leaks can become costly. Not only are you paying for wasted water, but there can also be the expense of water damage to walls, flooring, and other structural elements of the property where the water is leaking. That’s why it’s always important to find and fix leaks, no matter their size.
