💧 Water bill gone up? It could be a plumbing issue.
If your water bill has increased recently or keeps creeping up, it may be a sign that water is being wasted somewhere in the property.
Some of the most common causes we see are:
🚽 1. Running toilet cistern
One of the biggest culprits, especially in older toilets.
A faulty fill valve can overfill the cistern, or a faulty flush valve can let water slowly leak into the pan.
Quick check: once the cistern has filled, look inside the toilet bowl. If water is still trickling in, the cistern may need attention.
🔧 2. Small hidden leaks
Loose joints, compression fittings, or minor drips under sinks and at pipe connections can waste a surprising amount of water over time.
🚰 3. Dripping taps
Easy to ignore, but a constant drip can still add up and increase water usage.
These signs don’t always confirm the exact cause on their own, but they’re often a strong indicator that something needs checking.
If you’re not sure what’s causing the increase, AquaFix 24/7 can help investigate.
