The Hidden Cost of Common Leaks
You might think a slow drip is harmless, but the EPA estimates that household leaks waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water nationwide every year. That tiny drip from your kitchen faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons per year—the equivalent of 180 showers!

In coastal cities like Virginia Beach, excessive moisture poses a twin threat:
- Skyrocketing Water Bills: You are literally pouring money down the drain every single hour.
- Mold and Mildew Risk: The high humidity in our region means that even small, unseen leaks behind walls or cabinets create the perfect breeding ground for toxic mold.
Our professional service tackles the problem at the source, saving you money and protecting your investment.
Expert Faucet Leak Repair Services
Faucets leak for many reasons, often depending on the type (cartridge, ball, disc, or compression). While the fix might look simple, ensuring a permanent repair requires the right parts and expertise.
Common Faucet Leak Symptoms We Address:
- The Constant Drip: Water is dripping from the spout, usually due to a worn-out washer, O-ring, or cartridge seal.
- Puddles at the Base: Water is pooling around the handle or the base plate of the faucet, indicating loose connections or a broken seal inside the fixture.
- Corrosion: Visible rust or mineral deposits around the spout or handles, often a sign of long-term leakage.

Comprehensive Toilet Leak Repair Solutions
Toilet leaks are often silent, making them a much more costly problem than a dripping faucet. You may not notice the issue until you get a surprisingly high water bill.
Identifying the Silent Leak (The "Phantom Flush")
The most common toilet issue is known as a "running toilet" or a "phantom flush"—when the toilet tank refills itself without anyone having used the toilet. This indicates water is constantly leaking from the tank into the bowl.
Common Causes We Fix:
- Worn Flapper: The flapper is the rubber seal at the bottom of the tank. Over time, it degrades, becomes stiff, or the chain rusts, preventing a complete seal. This is the #1 cause of constant running.
- Faulty Fill Valve (Ballcock): This mechanism controls the water level in the tank. If it fails to shut off, water continuously flows down the overflow tube.
- High Water Level: If the water level is set too high, it constantly spills over the top of the overflow pipe.
The Denny’s Plumbing Dye Test
- If you suspect a leak but don't see one, we can perform a simple, quick dye test. We drop a small amount of harmless dye into the tank. If the colored water appears in the bowl within 15-30 minutes without flushing, you have a leak. This essential step ensures we never miss a costly, hidden leak in your toilet system.
