Suspect A Water Leak? Here Is What To Do

Many homeowners in Orlando don't realize they have a water leak. Life can get busy and it can be difficult to notice a hidden plumbing connection under a concrete foundation or behind a wall.

You are not alone, studies show these types of leaks account for 14% of water leaks in the average home. If you add it all up, each month a family of four can easily loose over 1,500 gallons of water a month.

A small leak dripping 10 time per minute can waste 540 gallons of water a year! Just imagine if you had more than one leak, or even a larger leak.
