Underground Leak Detection

Underground water leaks can be very problematic for your home or business. Usually, the signs of these leaks will appear outside on your property. If you see a steady stream of water running, even small puddles, despite not having rained or the sprinklers not being on, there is a good chance you have a leak. Confirmation of a leak is not always so easy. If you believe you have an underground leak, it is best to call a local leak detection company to provide a diagnosis and analysis.

How do I Determine if I Leak?

One of the best ways to determine if you leak is to use your water meter. Most meters will have a leak warning or reader that gauges or notifies you when a leak is occurring. A good way to tell is to ensure that water is not being used inside or outside your home and check the meter. If the dials on the meter are still moving even though no water has been used, there is a good chance you will leak.

Why do I Need a Leak Detection Company?

The primary benefit of using leak detection specialists is the specialized equipment they bring to the job. When an underground leak occurs, it is typically caused by a damaged pipe, a cracked water main, or a compromised sewer main.
