Dripping Cost Calculator

A small leak adds up faster than most people expect. Estimate the real cost of yours.

Check a recent water bill for your exact combined rate — this defaults to a typical Florida estimate.

Wasted / day

Cost / month
$3.83
Cost / year
$46.54
That's roughly 6,205 gallons wasted per year — not counting any water damage the same leak could eventually cause.

Why small leaks cost more than they seem

A drip that seems too minor to worry about can waste thousands of gallons a year. The EPA estimates that a leak dripping once per second wastes roughly 3,000 gallons annually — enough for over 180 showers.

This is an estimate, not a diagnosis

The numbers above are planning estimates based on common leak-rate references, not a measurement of your specific fixture. Actual waste depends on water pressure, the leak's exact size, and where it's located.

The bigger risk is usually hidden

A visible drip is the easy case. Slab leaks and leaks inside walls waste far more water and can cause real structural and mold damage before they're ever noticed — if your water bill has jumped and you can't find an obvious source, our leak detection service can pinpoint it without demolition.
