A Tampa homeowner contacted I Find Leaks in regards to a water leak which was first identified by the receipt of a high water bill. High water bills in Tampa are not uncommon if you use city of Tampa water to irrigate your lawn or if you have a water softener installed. The way to spot a potential water leak would be a rise in your water bill by more than a 20% increase. Over time, the 20% increases will get even higher. As you can see in the pictures below, the high water bill in this case was caused by leaking water lines out in their yard. The Tampa home had been added on to several times and new water lines were run. Since the water lines were buried so deep, you could not see the water leaking on the surface or notice any wet spots in the yard. With the water table in Tampa so high, the unused city of Tampa water was just leaking into the aquifer. Water leaks must be located and repaired quickly in the Tampa area to prevent water damage and mold growth.
