What could be causing my water bill to increase?

ABC understands the shock of getting a water bill that is much higher than what you’re used to. The good news is that you may be able to quickly identify small issues around the home which could be causing this spike so you can make adjustments to bring your water costs back to normal. For example, a running toilet in a guest bathroom can result in a $100 increase in your bill over the course of a year. Or, a leaking faucet can waste as many as 300 gallons of water in that same period.

If you received a higher than normal water bill, check your faucets, both inside and outside the home, for any drips. Then, look to see if water is flowing into your toilet’s overflow pipe by taking the top off and looking inside your tank. Sometimes, a damaged flapper could be the cause of your problem.

One more serious issue that could be causing a higher-than-average water bill is a slab leak. As copper pipes start to corrode over time, they can leak water under the foundation of your home. Unfortunately, the excess moisture from this kind of leak can lead to mold growth and can even attract termites. Signs you may have a slab leak include pools of water around the perimeter of your home, moisture under your carpet, damp floors, a musty smell or low water pressure.

If you have seen any of these signs or can’t quite diagnose what is causing your water bill to increase, our licensed plumbers can perform an inspection and report back to you on their findings.

Can your plumbers install new equipment?

We most commonly get calls regarding plumbing repairs. That said, we are fully equipped to install any new plumbing equipment. We understand that sometimes you purchase new components, only for them to sit there for weeks while you wait for a free weekend to learn how to install it properly. Instead, you can call in a plumber from ABC, who can quickly put in your new faucet, sink, fixture, toilet, showerhead, aerator, water heater, ice maker or garbage disposal.
