Rising Water Bill?

This damage was caused by a long term leak caused by a loose fitting on the second floor. SERVPRO of Hattiesburg is always here to help!

It's common in the summer months for water bills to increase due to increased usage, but have you noticed a significant climb in your water bill?

Often times, barring any usage increase, a significant increase in your water bill is a sign of a leak. More specifically, it is a common indicator of a plumbing or irrigation related leak. It is a good practice to check your home or property, especially if it is vacant, at least once a month to make sure that your plumbing is properly working. Signs of intrusion may include discoloration, bubbling or flaking paint, damp flooring or content, buckling or cupping wooden floors, or even a strange odor. If it is a long term damage, there most often will be a strange odor that accompanies it. Most will describe this odor was "musty" or "moldy".
