Leading Denver home services company urges residents to regularly check for plumbing leaks

DENVER, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- High 5 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric , a family-owned and operated home service company serving residents in the greater Denver metropolitan area, recommends homeowners take proactive measures to identify and fix plumbing leaks heading into the warmer months.

"Warmer temperatures are headed our way as spring begins to take hold," Levi Torres said. "Pretty soon, air conditioners will stay on a little longer and energy bills will begin to rise. One of the best ways to offset those costs is to check your plumbing for any leaks that could be increasing water usage."

According to the EPA , the average household wastes nearly 10,000 gallons of water every year due to unknown leaks in the home. In addition, 10% of homes waste 90 gallons or more per day.

The experts at High 5 recommend the following tips to help recognize plumbing leaks:

• Check the flapper in the toilet periodically to ensure it isn't old or worn out. This can cause the toilet to silently leak thousands of gallons of water a year or cause it to flush on its own. Replacing the flapper can be an easy, cost-effective way to prevent toilet leaks.
• Inspect the washers and gaskets on your faucets. Old washers can be a primary culprit for leaky faucets, causing a home to waste more than 3,000 gallons per year.
• Check the showerhead for frequent dripping after usage. A showerhead that drips 10 times per minute can waste over 500 gallons per year. Simply tightening the connection or replacing the showerhead can be a cheap option to prevent leaks.

"While some simple leaks can be prevented by replacing small parts, it's always important to call a licensed plumber if you suspect you have major leaks inside your home," said Torres. "Leaks behind a wall or with a water heater can be much more complicated and need professional attention. If left untreated, they can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. Never leave a leak left untreated."
