We check whether the meter moves when everything is off, which tells us if water is being lost.
A sudden jump on the water bill usually has a reason. We track down whether it is a leaking toilet, a hidden line break, an irrigation fault or a change in usage.

High water bill diagnostics is a step-by-step process of finding out why usage has gone up. It starts at the water meter and works outward through fixtures, appliances, irrigation and buried lines until the cause is found.
Many bill spikes come from something small that runs constantly, like a toilet flapper that does not seal. Others come from a hidden line break that no one can see. Because the cause could be almost anywhere, a methodical approach saves time and avoids replacing parts that were never the problem.
We begin with the simplest checks and move to advanced detection only when the evidence calls for it.
