Reasons Why You Have High Water Bills

• Are you worried about the financial implications
  of rising utility bills? Has your water bill
  suddenly skyrocketed? Are you worried you could
  be wasting water, which is a precious resource?
  While it is easy to ignore and forget about small
  leaks and drips in the house, research shows that
  you could be wasting thousands of gallons of
  water through small leaks and drips. Not only
  that, but water leaks also mean higher water
  bills than expected. If you are in a similar
  situation it is a good idea to seek the
  assistance of a professional Adelaide plumber to
  help you identify the cause of water damage,
  water leak, water waste and fix it efficiently
  saving you the hassle, time and money.

• In this blog, we are discussing some of the most
  common causes of high-water bills that you should
  be aware of and look out for on your property.
  All plumbing fixtures use water toilets,
  washing machines, showers, sinks and any water
  bill increase must be inspected in these places
  in a house.

4 Common Reasons For A High Water Bill

• 1. Running or Leaking Toilets If you have a
  broken or leaking toilet it can cause significant
  water wastage and increase your water bill by a
  few hundred dollars. If you suspect your toilet
  is leaking and if it has been leaking unnoticed
  for a long time then you must get a
  qualified toilet plumber to fix the problem for
  you. To inspect you could run a dye test simply
  put a few drops of food colouring in your
  toilets cistern and then wait for about 15
  minutes to check if the water in the toilet bowl
  changes colour.

• If water colour changes in the bowl then it means
  that your cistern is leaking water leading to
  wastage and higher water bills. Or if you have
  been hearing a continuous, odd hiss-like sound in
  your toilet then there could be leakage issues in
  other parts of the toilet that need to be
  assessed by a plumber. Get a professional plumber
  to ensure that the problem is properly fixed.

• 2. Leaky Taps and Plumbing Fixtures Taps with
  drips and leaks are easy to spot and are one of
  the most common reasons for increased water
  bills. Did you know that a leaking tap wastes
  about 17 gallons of water per day?! It is
  recommended to visually inspect all your
  household taps, shower heads, and all plumbing
  fixtures for any leaks and drips. If your
  fixtures are old and worn out, your bathroom
  plumber may recommend an upgrade to save water by
  installing smart and water-efficient fixtures. If
  leaks are caused by normal wear and tear a
  plumber would be able to fix the worn-out part
  ensuring there are no more drips or leaks.

• 3. Outdated Plumbing Fixtures If your household
  has old and obsolete plumbing fixtures and an
  outdated toilet then you might be using up way
  more water than a household that has modern
  plumbing fixtures. New age plumbing fixtures and
  accessories have a multitude of features aimed at
  improving water efficiency that save hundreds of
  dollars in water bills along with saving water
  and minimizing wastage. Modern fixtures boast
  low-flow water-saving features, aerators for taps
  and water-saving shower heads that can help you
  minimize your bills considerably. Get your
  trusted local plumber to inspect the taps, shower
  heads, toilets, and other water-using equipment
  in your house and recommend necessary repairs or
  upgrades.

• 4. Using More Water Than Usual? Adding a new
  member to your household to purchasing
  water-consuming equipment or installing a new
  fixture that uses more water also impacts your
  total water consumption. Water use also changes
  from season to season, which might cause the
  utility bill to increase. By making smart buying
  decisions and applying proper water consumption
  practices, you can keep your water bill low.
