As a homeowner you probably know leaks waste water, money and (when it comes to fixing them) your time, but here's a few important things you might not know:
In the U.S. alone, plumbing leaks are responsible for over $6 billion worth of property damage each year! How much of that is your share of expenses?
Mold and damage to your home's foundation are two unfortunate side effects of undetected leaks. Make sure to check frequently to avoid this.
A portion of the cost to repair a leak is usually covered by homeowner's insurance. That means your paying less than $300 out of pocket to find and repair leaks as opposed to the thousands further damage could cost.
Exceptionally high water bills are a tell tale sign of a home water leak. Double check with your water company, but this may may be an indication that it's time to call a plumber.
Always have a house checked for leaks before purchasing it. The minute you sign the dotted line those leaks become your problem and can cause unexpected property damage you didn't think you were buying into.
