Sometimes a running/leaking toilet can be very costly on your water bill.

To prevent this take the Toilet Dye Test!

Place food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the bowl without flushing, your flapper valve leaks and should be replaced to save water.

Leaks account for almost 1 trillion gallons of wasted water each year in the United States. On average, a household with leaks can waste almost 10,000 gallons of water. Finding and fixing those leaks protects natural resources and can save you on your water bills.

One way to see if your home has a leak somewhere is to stop using water for one to two hours. Look at your water meter before and after that period. Changes in the meter mean that water is still running somewhere, which likely means you have a leak.

You can inspect any visible plumbing components for leaks at any time. Check faucets and any exposed pipes, such as those under sinks and in unfinished areas, such as basements and crawl spaces. Look for signs of water below the pipes, such as puddles or mold.

In finished areas, leaks often aren’t easy to spot until you notice water stains on walls or ceilings. You might also see or smell mold or mildew from the excess moisture.

Leaks often happen where pipes connect, so look at those areas especially close. Faucets often leak when the washers and gaskets inside wear out. If you discover a leak, call a plumber to have the problem fixed properly if it’s not something minor that you can handle yourself.

Don’t forget to look for leaks in and around your appliances that use water, including dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators with built-in icemakers and water dispensers. It could be a simple connection issue or a leaking hose that needs to be replaced. Hoses eventually deteriorate and can develop cracks.

While you’re looking for leaks, check out the condition of the pipes and hoses in your home. Components can corrode or crack over time. Even if they’re not leaking yet, they could be close to leaking if they show signs of deterioration.

Use Your Garbage Disposal Properly
Garbage disposals make life a lot easier, but they can quickly become a plumbing headache if you don’t use them properly. Not all food is safe to put down the garbage disposal. Many food items can damage the garbage disposal or cause it to back up.

Avoid certain foods in the garbage disposal, including:

Grease and fat that can congeal
Pasta, bread, rice, and similar starchy items that expand when wet
Coffee grounds
Bones, shells, and other hard objects
Nuts, seeds, and pits
Tough meat
Food with membranes, such as onion layers and eggshells
Potato peels
Stringy and fibrous items
Non-food items
If you’re unsure about whether or not an item can go in the garbage disposal, throw it in the trash instead to be on the safe side. At the least, many items dull the blades, which makes your garbage disposal ineffective. At worst, you can completely destroy the appliance or clog it, making the sink unusable until you get an emergency plumber to fix the problem.

Water Heater Care

Flush the Tank: To prevent sediment buildup, flush your water heater tank once a year.

Check the Anode Rod: Have a plumber inspect and replace the sacrificial anode rod in your water heater every few years to significantly extend the life of the unit.

Check out these Drain & Toilet Habits to help keep your plumbing flowing and your money from going!

#1 Never Pour Grease Down Drains: Cooking grease, oil, and fats cool and solidify in your pipes, creating stubborn blockages. Pour them into a sealed container and throw them in the trash.

#2 Use Drain Screens: Equip all sinks and showers with mesh strainers to catch hair and soap scum before they enter your system.

#3 Follow the Toilet Rule: Only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed. Toss items like wet wipes (Yes even flushable), dental floss, and feminine hygiene products in the garbage, regardless of what their packaging claims.

#4 Ditch Chemical Drain Cleaners: Store-bought chemical cleaners rely on harsh acids that can eat away at your pipes. Opt for a standard plunger or a hand-crank snake to clear clogs safely.

Locating the Main Shut-Off valve to your home:

Identify exactly where your main water shut-off valve is before an emergency strikes!

If You Live in a Single-Family Home

On Exterior Walls: In warm climates, it is often set into an exterior wall near the front foundation, close to an outdoor hose spigot.

In the Garage or Utility Room: Follow the main water pipe as it enters the house. The valve is frequently located inside the garage, near the hot water heater, or beside the laundry hookups.

Near the Water Meter: Outdoor meter boxes (usually concrete or plastic lids near the street) contain a curb shut-off. Note: In many jurisdictions, operating the street-side city valve is prohibited and can result in severe fines.

If You Live in a Condo

Near the Front Entry: Frequently tucked into a utility closet, behind a washing machine, or hidden behind a drywall access panel near the front door.

Near the Water Heater: Inspect the walls or ceiling directly above, below, or behind the hot water heater.

Building Shut-Off: Older or smaller condo complexes may not have individual shut-off valves for every unit. You may need to access a shared valve in a basement, a mechanical room, or a hallway ceiling.

How to Operate and Identify the Valve

Ball Valve: Identified by a single lever. The water is ON when the handle is parallel to the pipe and OFF when it is perpendicular (turned a quarter turn).

Gate Valve: Identified by a round wheel. Turn this valve clockwise (to the right) several full turns to shut off the water entirely.

Emergency Tag: Once you find it, tie a brightly colored ribbon or Valve Tags around the handle so it can be located instantly in a panic.
