High Water Bill With No Visible Leak in Denton
A high water bill can be the first visible sign of a hidden leak, but it does not prove the leak is under the slab. Toilets, irrigation, service lines, water softeners, appliances, and unusual use can create the same surprise.

How Urgent Is This, Really?
Not every slab leak is a five-alarm emergency, and not every one can wait. Use this to decide what Denton property owners should do right now.
Active or worsening
Water is actively surfacing, the meter will not stop moving, or you can hear running water with every fixture off. Shut off the water at the meter if you safely can, then contact an appropriate plumbing provider or the serving utility for help.
Repeated symptoms
Repeated warm or damp patches, unusual water use or unexplained running-water sounds warrant investigation. Ask a qualified provider to assess the source and timing; symptoms alone do not confirm a slab leak.
Single, unconfirmed signal
A single unexplained reading or a symptom that has not repeated, with no active water and no pressure loss. Keep a log of meter observations and symptoms, and seek advice if they repeat or worsen.

Get a Straight Answer →Run a simple meter test
Choose a period when no water will be used. Turn off fixtures, appliances that use water, irrigation, and automatic fill systems. Record the meter, wait without using water, and check again. If the meter changes, water is moving somewhere on the customer side or a device is cycling.
Do not operate utility equipment you do not understand. If the meter is difficult to read, the City or a qualified provider may help distinguish a constant customer-side leak from other causes. A meter test does not identify the exact location.
Rule out common causes
Check toilet tanks, irrigation schedules, hose bibs, water heaters, softeners, refrigerator lines, pool fill systems, and recently changed household use. A silent toilet or irrigation leak can consume substantial water without wet flooring.
If the leak remains hidden, ask a provider to determine whether the evidence points to the service line, distribution piping, hot-water system, or another source before assuming a slab leak.
Protect your Denton adjustment option
The City of Denton program states that eligible customers may receive a partial adjustment for qualifying leaks. Repairs must be completed, required permits obtained, and permit-required work pass inspection. The program says customers should complete repairs within one month of detection and submit proof within 60 days after completion.
The published program limits adjustments and excludes certain outdoor components. It also says customers remain responsible for normal payment processes while an adjustment is reviewed. Check the current City document before relying on any deadline or calculation.

Questions Before You Request Help in Denton
Do you perform the slab leak repair yourselves?
No. Denton Slab Leak is an information and matching platform. It does not perform plumbing work. Service is provided by independent plumbing companies, and the responsible provider should identify its Responsible Master Plumber, scope, price, and warranty before work is authorized.
Does a moving meter prove a slab leak?
No. It shows ongoing water use or a leak somewhere downstream of the meter. Fixtures, irrigation, service lines, and appliances should be considered.
Will the City locate the leak inside my home?
City meter services may help confirm meter or customer-side flow issues, but exact indoor location typically requires the customer or a qualified provider.
How much can Denton adjust?
The published program describes a partial credit subject to eligibility, limits, calculations, and documentation. Use the current City form and rules for the exact determination.
Can I apply before repair?
The published Denton program requires leaks to be fully repaired before application and proof submitted within the stated timeframe.
What if my use is high but no leak is found?
Review irrigation, household changes, equipment cycles, and meter accuracy with the City. An unidentified source may not qualify under the leak program.
