Now, let’s become a water-whisperer. Turn off every faucet, toilet, and appliance. Go to your water meter and look at the little triangle or dial. If it’s spinning, you have a leak. It’s that simple. You’ve just solved half the case with zero tools.
If the meter is still, congratulations—your usage is real. That means you’re using more water than you think. And that’s only a problem if you don’t enjoy a little challenge.
