• Pay attention to your Water Bill.  Anything outside the normal seasonal fluctuations should be monitored. 
• Look for areas that are constantly wet or soggy.  Underground leaks can be very slow and barely noticeable. 
• Sometimes at night when everyone is quiet and no one is using water, you might be able to hear water running. This is a sure sign of a leak. It could be just a toilet or faucet that won’t shut off…But it could be a leak under the slab or a leak on the water service line from the meter to the house.

If you suspect a leak, here are a few simple steps:

Before checking for leaks, you must make sure all running faucets, toilets and irrigation valves are repaired or stopped before conducting any tests. Also, all ice makers, reverse osmosis filters and any other fixtures that constantly uses water must also be shut off to do the test.

• Check the water meter to see if the flow needle or dial is moving when no water is being used. 
• Check all toilet tanks to see if water is draining into the overflow tube. Also put some dye (food coloring) into the toilet tank then check to see if the dye drains into the bowl (it can take up to ten minutes).
• Check the cold water inlet on the water heater after no hot water has been used for at least 10 minutes. If the pipe is warm or hot at least six inches up or higher, chances are there are no leaks on the hot water system. If the line is cold, there is most likely a leak somewhere on the hot water system.
• Check for warm spots on the floor.
• The water going on frequently when no one is using hot water is another sure sign of a leak.
• If the burner on your water heater kicks on frequently when no water has been used, there may be a hot water leak.
