Troubleshooting
1. Leaking toilet
The best way to check for a leaking toilet is to remove the cover from the tank in the back of the toilet and place a few drops of food coloring in the tank full of water. Without flushing the toilet wait several minutes and check the toilet bowl for indications of this colored water flowing into the bowl. If the water turns color this indicates a leak. Make necessary repairs and remember this leak is probably occurring 24/7.
2. Checking for a service line leak
First you must isolate the buried line for your indoor plumbing; you must close the main valve located in the basement, crawl space or utility room. This valve must close tight in order for this test to be successful. Go to the street or meter location remove the water meter lid (some of the meter pits may be full of water, this is normal as in clay soil conditions the pit holds surface water, rain water, etc.) dip out the water if necessary, so that you can see the meter. Some newer meters have a triangle which rotates more rapidly which indicates water moving through the meter. If your meter does not have this triangle then it will be necessary to note the location of the dial and the digits, keep record of these. After some time go back and recheck the dial and digit locations if they are exactly the same then the leak is not in the buried portion, if the meter has moved this indicates a leak. However not all leaks will come to the top of the ground.
If the test shows no leaks then reopen the shut off valve and run the same test again, if movement of the meter occurs then this indicates that the leak is in the indoor portion. When conducting this test always replace the meter cover lid in between steps to prevent from freezing from occurring, or from some one from accidentally stepping into the hole and getting hurt.
