According to the Alliance for Water Efficiency, the average home loses between 2,000 and 20,000 gallons of water each year because of leaks. Dripping faucets and leaky water heaters are basic finds, but other leaks—in the toilet flapper valves or water supply lines—can go undiscovered for a long time.
Even minor water leaks can become costly. Not only do you constantly pay for wasted water, but there can also be the expense of water damage to walls, flooring, and other structural elements of the property where the water is leaking. That’s why it’s always important to find and fix leaks, no matter their size.

The total cost will depend on where the leak is in your home in addition to the severity of any damage. A minor, dripping leak can be fixed more easily compared to severe damage to the water main.
You won’t always be able to stop leaks entirely, but it’s still possible to lower the risk. Seals and valves can frequently lead to leaks, so keeping them maintained can minimize the risk. Investing in professional repair and repiping will also ensure the entire system is as tightly sealed as possible.
A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge levied by HVAC companies when a technician is sent out to your home to diagnose any and all problems with your furnace or air conditioner. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, experience and travel costs associated with determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s basically a service fee for the technician’s professional evaluation to find the cause of the malfunction.
Think of it like visiting your doctor. They need to do some preliminary tests or an examination to learn more about what’s wrong before proposing treatment. In the same way, the HVAC technician must examine your system to determine the needed repairs or maintenance.
