How can I tell if there is a leak underground?

Sudden increase in your water bill

The number one sign you have an underground water leak is the increase in your waterbill. To identify a leak, locate your water meter and if possible, shut off the main water valve to your property. Take note of the numbers on your meter and leave it off for about an hour. When you return, if the numbers have moved, it is like you have an underground leak.

Cracked areas or bulges in your concrete

A common sign of underground leaks is the damage it causes to the area around the leak. If there is concrete surrounding the leak, it is likely that you will spot some cracked areas, bulges or potholes, and even sinkholes.

Low water pressure

An underground leak can cause the surrounding pipes to lose their water pressure significantly. 

Sounds from pipes

In some situations, you may be able to hear an underground leak. Hissing sounds can be a sign of decreased water pressure, splashing may be a sign of water flowing around the pipes and clinking may be from pebbles or stones flowing and banging into the underground pipes.

Dirty Water

An underground leak and lead to contamination of your water, which can make the water appear rusty, dirty or filled with air. However, this can be a sign of an issue with your water supply and not an underground leak.
