What it usually is

Silent leaks are commonly a running toilet, a dripping fixture or a leak in a line you cannot see. A meter check can tell you whether water is moving when nothing is on.

What to do first

Turn everything off and look at the water meter for a minute. If the dial still moves, there is a leak somewhere. Send us the reading and a photo.

The flat rate that covers it

Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill. In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
