Surprise! Your water bill is sky high and you're wondering what the heck happened. Well, there could be a bunch of reasons behind this aquatic sticker shock. First things first, have your habits changed? Are you suddenly watering your lawn or plants more often? Or maybe it's the summer and your family is guzzling H2O like there's no tomorrow. Then, let's not forget about your plumbing system. Sneaky leaks can really sneak up on you and drain your bank account. Even the tiniest trickle can turn into a big fat bill. So, let's get to the bottom of this water mystery, shall we?

The Hidden Underground Leaks

It's easy to forget about the underground pipes, but they could be the culprit behind your skyrocketing water bill. We often don't realize there's a leak until it's too late and the damage is already done. So, what causes these sneaky leaks? It could be a number of factors like poor installation, old age, or even those pesky trees and unpredictable weather.

So, keep an eye on that meter! And don't forget to track your water habits while you're at it. These little tricks will help you uncover any sneaky leaks.

Toilets

Is your toilet running away with your water bill? Toilet troubles can drain your wallet faster than you can say "flush!" If your toilet is constantly running or leaking, you could be pouring money down the drain.

Your toilet's water level is controlled by an adjustable float in the cistern. If the float is too low, your flush won't pack a punch. Your toilet simply won't have enough water to get the job done right.

But wait! If the float is too high, the fill valve may not shut off the water supply. The result? A leaky toilet and a relentless water bill that keeps on rising.

If you suspect a leak, don't panic! Just call Duncan Plumbing. We can do some tests to find the problem and replace any faulty parts. And if your toilet fixtures are old and not working so hot, we might suggest a complete replacement.

Faucets

Those drippy faucets could be the culprit! Even a tiny drip can waste gallons of water every day. It's a bummer, but faucets can start leaking because of worn-out parts. And unfortunately, just replacing one part might not fix the issue - you might need a whole new faucet. Time for an upgrade, perhaps?



Thankfully, Duncan Plumbing can replace your old faucet with a new one. We'll make sure the installation is done right so you don't have to worry about any leaks!

Finally, it's always smart to get regular plumbing checks. Duncan Plumbing offers routine maintenance that can help you save time, money, and keep your sanity in check. Don't wait until it's too late - call us today! We'll make sure everything is running smoothly so you don't have any unexpected surprises on your next water bill.
