Small leaks deserve attention.

EPA WaterSense highlights household leaks as a source of wasted water. A running toilet, recurring drip or unexplained change in water use is worth bringing to a plumber’s attention.

Tell the technician what you have noticed and when it happens. Ask which checks are included, whether a repair is needed and what it will cost before authorizing work. A general check is not a promise that every concealed problem will be found.
