Apartment Water Leak Detection
Last reviewed September 2026NES Editorial, checked by the Billing & Compliance team
If you just had a high water bill, you probably already have a leak. NES MyReads watches your usage daily and flags it before it runs up the next bill.
How does apartment water leak detection work?
NES MyReads installs a wireless submeter on the property's main water line and reads it several times a day. You get a daily email report of usage, and when consumption spikes, that is usually the first sign of a running toilet or hidden leak. Catching it within hours, instead of at the end of the month, prevents a high bill and possible water damage.
Why leaks are so costly
A leak is often invisible. Even after investigating, you may find no obvious source, while a stuck toilet flapper quietly wastes thousands of dollars of water. The hard part is finding a leak before it causes damage or a large bill, and daily monitoring is the most reliable way to do that.
How MyReads works
- 1A wireless submeter on your main line
NES installs a wireless submeter on the property's main water line, or wherever you want usage watched. The meter is preconfigured for your property, and you can use as few or as many as you need.
- 2Reads several times a day
The meter reports usage to the NES platform several times a day, so a problem shows up within hours instead of on next month's bill.
- 3A daily usage report by email
You and your team get a daily email report of water usage, and you can review it weekly, monthly, or annually to spot trends.
- 4Early warning on a spike
When usage jumps, that is usually the first sign of a running toilet or a hidden leak. Catching it early prevents a high bill and water damage.
