The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that homes in the United States waste more than one trillion gallons of water each year. Our local team in Yamhill and Tillamook Counties responds to water damage emergencies throughout the year in Rockaway Beach. Here are some tips from the EPA for detecting shower leaks:

Shower Leaks

• Most leaky showerheads can be fixed by ensuring a tight connection using pipe tape and a wrench. If you are replacing a showerhead, look for one that has earned the WaterSense label.
• A good method to check for leaks is to examine your water use. A family of four likely has a serious leak problem if its winter water use exceeds 12,000 gallons per month.
• Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. You probably have a leak if the meter does not read exactly the same.
• Place a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank to check for a toilet bowl leak. You have a leak if the color shows up in the bowl within ten minutes without flushing.
