What do you think about this leak?

@joshm5816 4 жыл бұрын

In my area near Asheville NC, the digital meters are similar. I have on a few occasions, found meters installed with no check valve at the meter. This allows back flow at the meter. Two meters I've encountered, were faulty, showing water going to the customer, but it was actually going back into the city's system. The city replaced the meter, and the problem was solved. What brand of leak detection device are you using in this video?

An intermittent leak like that is almost always a leaky toilet flapper. A few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank will confirm if it bleeds through into the bowl. Next check the relief valve on the water heater for signs of leakage, it may be corroded or otherwise damaged and not working properly. Total cost for self-performing that service call is about a penny.

Not sure if there’s a trick to get it to seal immediately. If anyone has an idea, please comment! I really like the system as it allows you to do a short flush for just liquids, a normal flush for solids or even hold it open if you have a slight clog and just need a little more water.

New subscriber here...loved your video. We are a retired couple living in NJ and got our winter quarterly bill for 624,000 gallons of water use at a whopping cost of $1400.00! All outside water spigots were turned off and no one had access to our home. Also we were away for 3 of those 12 weeks. They claimed we had a leak somewhere or that something happened that we don't know about. Our master plumber did an inspection and confirmed this was not possible. They took the meter for testing (It's a Hersey analog meter) and found it to be running too slow but we knew before sending it in that it was working fine because since we got the bill we have been monitoring it and we use about 100 gallons per day. The Business Administrator of the town feels they did their "due diligence" by testing for water flow but no mechanical test was ever done, nor did anyone from the town believe that we didn't use that water either neglectfully or willing. The "leak" apparently "fixed" itself as we never had any repairs done. Our toilets are in fine working order and do not have an outside irrigation system. PSE&G had done work in the street and in our home (new gas meters being installed) that quarter and we don't know if that could have caused the meter to go haywire. Roger, how is this possible? Any help or insight you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.

If there is going to be a follow up vid, it should just be edited into one vid. I’m curious if it ended up being a faulty meter or a leak? I once had my meter read as though I filled an Olympic swimming pool two months in a row, with no leaks. The city tried to blame it on a faulty toilet flapper but that wasn’t correct. They ended up replacing the meter and it was fine thereafter. I’m not sure whats inside a water meter, but they do fail.

Have you ever run into a faulty meter? The city just changed out to a new meter with a sensor a week ago and low and behold they've detector water usage everyday since the new meter install. I've looked everywhere, shutoff every supply valve, and no change. The indicator dial is spinning extremely slowly and sometimes spins backwards. I also noticed that the meter is not tight and can be moved by hand about 1/8" and also is very vibration sensitive. Not sure if that's normal. The city claims they've never seen a failed meter in 5000 installs. Being an engineer, I know failure rates aren't zero on anything.

What? If I had been there. . . 1. Why is the meter submerged? The box makes up above grade, so surface water ought run around it. 2. Did we ever actually PROVE that we are on the correct meter? That is, where is the test shutting down the meter stop and then checking that the domestic side is dead? 3. Shutting down the feed to the meter, and then (?) checking for flow would only tell you that the curb stop is bad, worthless information. 4. The dual check being shut down (supposing that it does feed only irrigation) might possibly reveal a leak on the potable side, but as is, there is no way to invert the test, and prove integrity on irrigation only. There is a missing main SOV. Look indoors near the tank or softener? 5. This vid is an excellent example of why I hate digital meters! The sample (to be meaningful) should have been first to isolate the entire system at meter. Wait 15 minutes, and recharge, provided owner knows to open NO valve or faucet. THEN check flow to see if it is still dancing between 0 and .33 (gpm?). The static pressure ought drop with clock time, if a leak is present, and so, a surge upon opening up the ball valve will tell the story.

@brandonwilliams9693 3 жыл бұрын

That meter appears to be a Neptune meter. Depending on the model that brand has the ability to produce a report commonly known as a Data Log. This report will tell you when a leak began and how much water moved by Daily and/or Hourly. My town uses mainly Neptune and Sensus brand water meters. Although the meter cannot tell you *where* a leak is the meter can give you the exact moment the leak began. Often times, homeowners will have water using utilities replaced and the Data Log will show that it. I live in Utah so your area may not use either brands. Also! Please talk with your City to know if you and/or your plumber is allowed to turn the meter off/on otherwise you could receive a Meter Tamper Violation Charge

Knowing that the leak only showed every once in a while on the meter using 0.33gpm I would have deduced its a ballcock on a toilet kicking on when the leaky flapper or aqua piston let enough water out to cause the Ballcock to trip. Locating which toilet it is as easy as dye test or magic marker the water lever line in the tank of the toilet. All you done at the begining yes isolate everything narrow your search but as soon as I seen the time frame in which it was registering a leak on the meter and then the subsequent amount of water being used toilets would have been the next thing I would have looked at. Not knocking your style but I would have checked those before I called it.

Lol I had that happen a few months ago and the landlord hired a plumber that said it was just a cartridge leak in the main shower even though you could hear water running throughout the house. He still just replaced the cartridge after I told them it’s a leak in the crawl space because you can hear water running and there’s no way a bad cartridge would cause a meter to run that much. Needless to say he was back a week later crawling in a muddy crawl space replacing a section and sweating pipe.

They will sue you for the money even, at best if you are good with someone who works over there you might get a bit of a "discount" due to your problem. Hilarious things. xD

I have a lot of irrigation leaks to fix, some easy and some not. The easiest way I find them is when I mow the lawn, there is always the same wet spot, which doesn't make sense because the rest of the yard dried up. The last leak I found was a pin hole in an underground pipe. After that, my solution is that all outside lines need to be replaced because who knows where else a leak will form.

@peggyr9623 4 жыл бұрын

After checking those things, why didn't you check the toilets? We had the same issue, only our meter was running all of the time. We called a plumber who came out and he ran around the house like a crazy person. Went back to the basement to check the meter and it was still running. Charged me $250.00, told me he had no idea and left. The next day, my husband and I turned off all of the water valve shutoffs in the entire house. Nothing registered at the meter. One by one we opened each valve and discovered that one of the toilet tanks was leaking. We changed the flapper, but that wasn't enough. Called another plumber to come and replace all of the parts in the tank. Charged me $165.00 and no more problems. I hope you didn't charge the customer for two home visits.

@jfinnall 4 жыл бұрын

My first thought when you described the issue, did anybody verify the email message? The results here do not match the complaint either. A 0.33 gpm occasional flow is not "Stopped Spinning". The old meters had a triangular trickle indicator. So then the newer meters do not? But might not be desired since the meter can read to 1/100th accuracy. As dirty as the meter actually was they do not physically read the meter every month. So that would indicate an electronic reading system. They usually are just short range. So how is the main office going to know if the meter was running continuously? Did they send out a truck and driver to sit there for 24 hours to monitor the meter? Then decided to just send an email message? With online systems today, they might actually have an email address on record for the property. But it would not be required for service, except for an online website account. Normally a person would not know there is a problem until they receive the water bill. So many things wrong with this post. This is the first time I have viewed anything from this creator. It just showed up in my suggested feed for some reason. Your investigative areas here are OK, I noticed nothing wrong there. Just the overall scenario of the issue. Like something was just fabricated for the video.

My online account with my city a couple of cities north of Roger's office has readings about every 4 hours. While it's not continuous, it would be unusual to have water flow every 4 hours.

Newer neptune meters have a built in leak detection system and it will read countinous leak. It has a system that records usage every 15 mins or so and if it notices usage during all or most of those no matter how little it will throw a continuous or intermediate leak message. The city should have been able to provide a print out of the times and amount used if they have the special reader.

i woulda vaccumed the water out of the meter box and checked to see if the union was dripping. problem wasnt found. would have isolated the shut off at house and checked meter over 15 mins to see if possibly a toilet flapper letting water by and a fill valve running for a few seconds (you most likely here as its a small amount of water for a few seconds every once in a while)
