High Water Bill Sign of a Hidden Water Leak in Burbank Home?

We are water damage restoration leaders in Cook County!

Our local Bedford Park/Burbank teams use advanced technology and techniques to detect hidden water damage. An unexpected rise in your water bill could indicate a hidden water leak. These leaks can happen in areas that are hard to spot, such as in pipes beneath the ground, inside walls, or in seldom-used plumbing fixtures.

Because they occur in concealed locations, these leaks can go unnoticed for long periods, causing not only wasted water but also potential damage. Monitoring water bills for unusual increases can help detect leaks early.

One common cause is a leaking toilet, where a faulty flapper or valve allows water to flow continuously from the tank to the bowl unnoticed. Another potential source is a leaking faucet, even if the drips are slow, which can add up significantly over time. Hidden leaks in the foundation or walls can also cause water to seep out slowly without visible signs until the damage becomes severe.

In addition to causing structural damage over time, undetected leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each month, directly impacting the water bill. Regular monitoring of water usage, checking for unusual increases, and scheduling professional inspections when needed can help identify and repair hidden leaks, preventing high water bills and costly damage.
