Water bill went up super high
Hello! I have a fourplex. The water bill is usually 500$ every 3 months. Now there was an increase in the bill to 1,755$ for 3 months. I called the water company. They said they will send someone in 2 weeks.
I checked around the house looking for water signs of leakage. I did not find any outside or inside the house.
Has anyone experienced something similar before??
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi. You definitely have a leak somewhere and need to find it ASAP!! We had this happen to us last year. $1,500.00 bill. Google water leak detection for your area and you will find someone that will come out and find it. I believe we paid around $500/$600 here in Miami, Florida. They had a device they hooked up and could listen to the sound waves. They were able to find the leak location and luckily, the it was not under the house! Find someone right away! Don't wait for the water company to come out. They will only check the water meter and tell you "yep, you've got a leak." The water will keep leaking and racking up more $$$ while you are waiting. Miami-Dade County gives you a one-time leak forgiveness for the bill. If by chance you are in Miami, let me know and I will look for the company's info and post it. Best of luck to you!
