See detailsHow does the meter test work?
Turn off everything that uses water, read the meter, wait without using any water and read it again. If the numbers or the small dial moved, water is going somewhere.
Does a moving dial always mean a leak?
It means water is moving. A running toilet, ice maker or softener can do it too, which is why the tool asks you to check those first.
What should I do if the test says there may be a leak?
Call us. We pinpoint the leak and explain the repair options. Our Leak Detection and Repair page has more.
