Residential Leak Detection
Class Description
Irrigation leaks just the size of a dime will waste nearly 6,300 gallons of water a month. Old, inefficient toilets can waste up to 13,000 gallons a year. Leaks can be present anywhere so every week should be Fix A Leak Week! This class will help homeowners learn how to read a water meter to help confirm if there is a water leak. They will learn how to isolate and identify where a leak is located on a property as well as how to fix common indoor and outdoor leaks. When a leak gets out of hand it can potentially lead to several thousands of gallons of water waste as well as cause extensive damage to infrastructure. With the proper training and tools, leaks can be fixed before they become a costly and hazardous issue!
