Step 4 · The Waiting Period

With all water usage confirmed to be off and the initial meter reading recorded, you must now wait for a significant period without using any water. A duration of 1 to 2 hours is generally sufficient to allow even a slow leak to register a noticeable change on the meter. It is imperative that no one in the household uses a toilet, faucet, or any other water appliance during this time.
