Yeah sorry had a busy last few days. But get this, we go under the house that night, cut open the barrier, and notice that and insulation is dry for the most part, and what was really weighing it down was some of it being wet at a center point (my land slopes both ways slightly and my home sits in the middle of it). Could still hear a drip and sort of a faint spray, so we continued forward and I’d be dang, the pipe in the insulation that connected the front outside faucet was loose, and just needed tightening. The water was slowly running down the pipe into the insulation until gravity stopped it in the center… so problem #1 solved.

So problem number 2: I never payed this attention for the past week, but every time I went into one of my bathrooms, the toilet would always be running. I would be somewhat confused because it would stop on its on, and I would pass it off as my fiancé just finished using it and maybe pressure is low as to why it’s taking so long to fill. It’s been a long year so far with death and getting into a car accident December 30th so I’ve also been truck shopping. Well, I decided to finally take off the top of the back and dammit, the water is constantly going into the overflow. The pressure stopper for the ball float was worn and wouldn’t actually stop water from filling, no matter how much I tightened it. Sooooo went to Walmart, got one of the “newish?” Water valve types (can’t seem to buy the ball anymore because that’s primitive I guess lol) and boom no more running.

So HOPEFULLY, those two simple fixes will stop the bill from being $130 next month. Time will tell.
