Responding to a Leak Alarm

To locate water leakages in your water system, refer to the leak finder guide below. This will help you identify potential leaks and take the necessary steps to fix them.

To check for toilet leaks, add food coloring to the tank overnight. If the bowl has color without flushing in the morning, there's a leak.

To find water leaks from appliances, disconnect all appliances from the outlet until you locate the source. The water might be in the form of a slow drip.

Visible dampness in your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry area could indicate a water leak, leading to home mess and potential mold growth if left unfixed.

Use the six checks below to reveal a potential water leak in your home. We recommend you schedule a water leak repair with a trusted local plumber immediately to prevent water damage.
