Water Leak Repair — frequently asked

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?+

Signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, damp or discolored spots, musty smells, or the sound of running water when nothing is in use.

Should I shut off the water to a leaking fixture?+

If the fixture has its own shutoff valve and it is safe to reach, shutting it off can limit damage until a repair is arranged.
