    Understanding Underground Leak Detection

    [/gem_quote][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Underground leaks can be a somewhat complicated and messy problem to fix.  For home or business owners the main obstacle is that most of the warning signs and damage are underground.  As opposed to a leak under your kitchen sink, the signs of a leak underneath a concrete slab are harder to see.  By knowing the most common warning signs you can help to avoid a prolonged leak.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    1. A small or large drop in your water pressure. Perhaps you have noticed that your shower is not providing the same powerful stream that is used to.
    2. Areas of your lawn that are either brown and dying or the reverse where one area is more lush and green than other areas even though you had consistent sprinkler coverage.
    3. A sudden and unexplainable increase in your water utility bill.
    4. Cracked pavement, concrete or asphalt. You may also notice sinkholes or potholes that have developed in your yard, driveway or sidewalk.  You may also notice cracks forming in the foundation of your home or business.
    5. Unpleasant odors. This can arise from the smell of sewage or water that has been able to collect and sit for a while in unvisited areas.
    6. Listen for the leaks. Even though the leak may be out of sight, you can still sometimes hear the problem.  In many cases, you can hear the sound of running water, or perhaps a high-pitched hissing as water is being pushed out of a small hole.

  • How to determine if you have an underground leak?

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]When it comes to water leaks residents can usually use their senses to notice the warning signs of a leak. Dripping water can sometimes be noticed by the moldy or mildewy smell they leave behind. Obviously, if you can visually see water running then you know you have a leak, but in cases where the leak is hidden behind a wall or even underground, you have to use your ears to listen for a possible leak. You can probably imagine several different areas in your home or business where a leak can occur. Images of looking under your kitchen sink to see a small drip usually comes to mind. What may not come to mind right away are underground leaks, especially ones that are outside of your home.

    Warning signs of an underground leak

    An increase in your water bill. We always recommend that homeowners take note of their monthly water bill. If you see a sudden increase in charges that you cannot explain it could mean that you are experiencing a leak somewhere inside or outside of your home.
    Signs that water has been running or dripping. Running water can cause damage by corrosion or even from sweeping away load-bearing dirt and rocks. In extreme cases, leaks can even cause a sinkhole or areas of concrete slabs or sidewalks to the dropdown.
    Water collecting or leaving dark water spots. Much like seeing the damage water can cause, you should keep an eye out for water collecting in puddles that never seem to dry out. You can also see wet marks on the sidewalk or pavement even if the sprinklers haven’t run recently or rain has fallen.

    Professional underground leak detection

    So what do the professional companies do to locate leaks? The good news is that with the latest technology a leak detection company can locate all your sewer and water main leaks with almost pinpoint accuracy. This is achieved by utilizing sonic equipment that can “listen” for leaks. Many of our technicians describe even the smallest leak sounds like a running creek when using this equipment. By using top of the line tools contractors can pass those benefits on to the customer. This accurate detection means less of your property has to be dug up, reducing not only the impact of the repair but also the cost to repair. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
