Even a small water leak, especially one you can't see, can create serious damage and a health hazard if it's not detected and repaired in a timely manor. It is important to stay proactive. Water leaks don't fix themselves; they continue to get worse, waste water and money. The Leak Doctor offers affordable solutions to your leaking problems.

Turn off all the faucets and water using appliances on the property. If you can hear water running, you probably have a leak.
Next, check your water meter. With everything still turned off, the meter should not be registering. Take a picture of it with your smart phone. Wait a couple of hours, without using any water, and check the meter again. If the number is larger than the first time or the low flow indicator is still spinning, you have a water leak.
