If you cant find anything call the city, my meter went bad at my house in SC and they were charging me for 25,000 gallons of water a month. I went through the same thing though, had plumbers come out, no leaks but the city swore up and down I had a massive water leak. To make a very long story short, there meter was messed up.

waiting to hear back from a family friend. Her brothers and dad have been plumbers for as long as I can remember. I will let you know of a number when I hear back.

Make sure no water is running in the house at the time and check the meter in the yard. It shouldn't move if the water is off. Your neighbor washing their cars when you are at work? :bigthumb:

x2. $40 increase is not a sign of a Major leak. I had 7 small leaks and my bill went from $80 a month to well over $200. And that was for only a week of leaking and I shut the water off during the day when I was not home during that time frame.

They are my neighbors. Buncha assholes. Prines plumbing is one. I cant remember the others name.

Plumbing is easy though. There are only three things you need to know.
