Water leaks happen more often than you think—and they often go unnoticed until your water bill spikes. In fact, nearly 1 in 5 homeowners contact Louisville Water each year with concerns about leaks.
The consequences can be costly. From hidden toilet leaks to burst pipes, undetected leaks don’t just waste water—they can lead to serious damage and significantly higher bills.
Catch potential leaks early with Pure ConnectSM by monitoring your water usage and setting up alerts for unusual spikes. For added peace of mind, our WaterPro Water Leak Protection PlanSM offers an affordable solution to cover excess charges for water you didn’t use.
Just because you can’t see a leak doesn’t mean it’s not there. Look for signs of water damage on floors, ceilings, at the back of cabinets, and in crawl spaces. These areas are often where leaks can hide undetected.
Leaks can originate from various sources in your home, including toilets, faucets, showerheads, and irrigation systems. Regularly check these areas for drips, stains, or unusual water usage.
