Get the Facts for Fix a Leak Week!

It's #FixALeakWeek!  Are you doing everything you can to prevent water waste in your home?  According to the EPA, correcting household water leaks can save most homeowners about 10% of their water bills.  

Here are a few ways you can fix leaks in your home.

How to Fix Leaks:

  • Check Your Faucets - Leaky faucets can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year.  If you have a leaky faucet, it is likely that you will be able to correct the leak by checking your faucet washers and gaskets for wear.
  • Check Your Showerhead - Showerheads can waste more than 500 gallons per year.  Fortunately, most leaky showerheads can be fixed by ensuring a tight connection.
  • Check the Toilet - Toilet leaks are often caused be a worn flapper.  In many cases you can just replace this inexpensive part.  However, if you do need to replace the entire toilet, new, water-efficient models can help you save even more water and money.
