It’s Fix-a-Leak Week, a great time to learn about the value of checking for and fixing leaks inside and outside the home. Here are some quick tips:

🚰 Monitor your water bill – an unusual spike can indicate a leak!

🚰 Investigate appliances and fixtures – if you see condensation, puddling or dripping, you may have a leak.

🚰 Check for puddles – soggy grass or pooled water could be a sign of a leak.
