Expert Water Leak Detection Services
Water leaks can cause serious destruction to a house. Some leaks are in full display, while others can only be detected by a water leak detection service. A high water bill is the first sign you have a water leak. You can have a leaky toilet or a pipe leak. Even old sewer lines could leak, but the worst type of water leaks may be in or under your slab. Whatever the case, every leak requires the latest tools and equipment and a water leak detection expert to locate the leak.
Some leaks are straightforward, and you can see the sign in the bulging drywall. A water leak that starts upstairs could usually be seen on the ceiling downstairs. In every situation, the water leak needs to be fixed so your plumbing technician can make repairs. Call MVP Plumbing for all your Menifee leak detection services.
Saving Water Is Not A Drought Issue
We can all take some practical steps to save water. First, we need to remind ourselves that saving water means saving money. That makes an effort much more palatable. From a practical standpoint, we should all be saving water whether there is a drought or not. We're all a little indulgent when it comes to water, myself included. We all have heard of the most practical steps on saving water: cutting down on shower time, watering your grass less often, and not shaving with water running. These are just a few ways we can conserve. But there are other steps we can take to cut back on water usage.
- Have your home inspected for water leaks.
- Install WaterSense faucets and showerheads.
- Replace old water heaters with energy-saving heaters.
- Consider a tankless water heater.
- Install a recirculation or booster pump on your water heater.

According to WaterSense®, the average US household wastes 10,000 gallons of water a year due to water leaks in our homes. WaterSense® is a program put on by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The program encourages water conservation. They claim that 10% of all homes waste 90 gallons of water per day due to water leaks. Here are some facts put out by WaterSense®.
- A water leak that drips at the rate of one drop per second can waste 3000 gallons of water per year.
- 1 trillion, yes, 1 trillion gallons of water are wasted each year due to home water leaks.
- Fixing water leaks can save you as much as 10% on your water bill.
- A family of four should not exceed 12,000 gallons per month on winter water usage. If it does, this is sure of a sign of a leak
- An irrigation pipe with a leak 1/32nd of an inch hole can waste 6,300 gallons of water a month.
Fix Leaky Faucets And Fixtures
Three main areas contribute to home water leaks: faucet and showerheads, toilet leaks, and outside irrigation. Most of us don't understand the magnitude of how much water gets wasted when we see dripping faucets or hear the toilet occasionally running. For instance, a showerhead that drips ten drops per minute wastes 500 gallons of water per year. An easy test to take to see if your toilet is leaking is by putting a drop of food coloring in the tank. Wait 10 minutes. If the color shows up in the bowl, you have a water leak. Flush the toilet quickly after 10 minutes so no staining occurs. If you need help, call water leak detection services.
Upgrade To WaterSense® Labeled Fixtures
If your faucets and showerheads show signs of wear or corrosion, you might want to upgrade them to WaterSense® labeled fixtures. Upgrading isn't a big financial investment and could save you and the environment in the short and long run. Ultimately, this is where the problem lies:
- Most of us don't know if we have a water leak.
- We don't know how to check for a water leak.
- We don't know how to fix a water leak.
DIY Water Leak Detection
One way to find out if your home has a water leak is to call your local Menifee Plumber and schedule a service call. In most cases, it will not need more than a service call. If you're a do-it-yourself and want to save a few bucks, here are a couple of steps to follow to check for a water leak.
- Turn off all the water in your home.
- Take the lid off your water meter. Your water meter is usually in the front yard toward the street. Spray it with bug spray and use gloves. Spiders like to live in the water meter box.
- In some instances, the water meter will have a metal cover that needs removing to expose the numbers (reading) on the meter; others will have a clear or plastic cover that may need to be wiped clean.
- Your water meter has a triangle or round dial called a water flow detector. If water is on in your home or there is a water leak, the dial will be moving. If all the water is turned off and the dial is still moving. You have a leak.
- Don't stop there! Locate and turn off valve to your irrigation and shut the water supply off. The irrigation valve is usually located in the garage, front yard, or near an outdoor faucet. Wait a few minutes and recheck your meter. If your water flow dials have stopped moving, the leak is in the irrigation. If the dials continue to spin, the leak will be in the home.
Now that you have narrowed down your search to home or irrigation, you can now take the necessary steps to fix the problem. If you need further help detecting a leak or to resolve the problem, call MVP Plumbers for all your Menifee plumbing services.

After 20 years, my water heater went out. My home warranty service put me in touch with Murrieta plumbing company. I received a call from the technician to inform me that he would be there between 9 and 10. He was there on time and was very knowledgeable in explaining the installation and the upgrades that were necessary in order to bring my water heater situation up to code...

Outstanding work, work-ethic, and installation of a new sink in our home. The service was terrific, and Garret as the on-site rep installing the sink made a tough job seem easy, with great respect to our expectations and precision.
With a very fair price, I highly recommend them for plumbing and install work.

WOW I am impressed with the service given by this company! I have dealt with many flakey contractors lately. I was in a hurry to get someone out to detect a possible plumbing leak in the wall of my bathroom. When I called and they scheduled an appointment for the next day. The gentleman was on time, professional, and didn't charge me an "arm and a leg" for his services. Murrieta Plumbing company will...
