Soggy patches, unexplained puddling, or a rising water bill can point to a leak in a buried yard line. Our technicians locate the source before recommending any excavation.
Situations That Lead Here
A soggy or unusually green patch of lawn that stays wet regardless of weather often points to a leak in a buried supply or irrigation line beneath the surface. Some homeowners notice a steady drop in water pressure throughout the home, later tracing it to an underground leak rather than an issue inside the house. Others catch it first through a water bill that climbs without any change in household habits, prompting a closer look at the yard itself.
The General Approach
Rather than digging based on a guess about where a yard leak might be, our technicians use acoustic detection equipment to listen for the specific sound Artesian Plumbing Pro of water escaping underground. This approach lets us narrow the search to a much smaller area before any digging starts, protecting your landscaping and limiting the size of the eventual repair.
Breaks in sprinkler or irrigation supply lines are among the most common yard leak calls we handle.
A break in the main line running from the street to your home can cause significant water loss if left unaddressed.
Lines serving outbuildings, pools, or outdoor fixtures can develop leaks that go unnoticed for some time.
Step-By-Step Process
We review the symptoms you have noticed and check your water meter to confirm active loss.
Listening equipment narrows the search to a specific section of yard rather than the whole property.
Once located, the leak's position is marked precisely before any digging begins.
Only the confirmed section is excavated, limiting disruption to the surrounding landscaping.
The repair is pressure tested before the excavated area is backfilled and leveled.
