UNDERGROUND WATER LEAK DETECTION

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF UNDERGROUND WATER LEAKS

If you suspect you may have an underground water leak, recognizing the warning signs early can help prevent costly damage. Underground leaks often go unnoticed until visible symptoms begin to appear within the home or on the surrounding property.

Common signs of an underground water leak include:

• Warm spots on concrete slabs

• Wet areas or visible cracking in walls or flooring

• Persistent wet spots or pooling water in the yard

• The appearance or smell of mildew on surfaces or walls

• A sudden or unexplained increase in your water bill

• Changes in water meter readings when no water is being used

• A water pump running when no water is actively in use

• Constant or frequent operation of a sump pump without recent rain or storm activity

Underground water leaks can originate from supply lines, service mains, irrigation piping, or other buried plumbing components. Professional leak detection allows the source of the problem to be accurately located before extensive damage occurs.
