- Water Leak In Your Garden – It may be your pipe
Is there water in your garden and you don’t know where it’s coming from? Chances are you may have a leak in your garden. This leak can cause you a lot of problems if you don’t get it fixed quickly. The problem for many people is they don’t even know they have a leak to begin with. It’s not until they get the higher than normal water bill they realize something might be wrong.
Luckily, you’ve found this page because we’re going to take a look at how to spot a leak in your garden and what you can do about it.
Start By Shutting Off All Water In Your Home
If you live in the city or in an area where you receive water from a water company, then you should have a service line that brings water into your home. You should shut off this line so you can begin testing and finding your leak. For most homes, you should be able to find this water connection in front of your home.
By shutting off the water you are able to get a more accurate reading.
Check Your Meter
Next, you’ll want to check your meter to see if there is any unusual activity happening on it. Take note of the little spinning triangle on your meter. Is it spinning non stop? If you look at your meter and you see this you may have a leak. Also, if you take a look and no water is going through the meter, then it may mean the leak is somewhere else in the system.
From the moment you notice this, you should contact an emergency commercial plumber company and have them come in and diagnose the problem.
Figuring if you have a leak on a digital water meter is a little different. On the digital water meter, you’ll have to check the flow rate. A low flow rate or one that reads zero is an indicator that there’s no water flowing through the line. This could mean the problem is in your service line.
Common Service Line Leak Locations
A service line leak can happen anywhere on your service line. The most common places leaks happen are near the shutoff valve and anywhere there are fittings on the line. If you notice that you have a leak, you should get a commercial plumbing service company to come to your property.
You don’t want to leave this for too long as it may lead to more serious problems in the future.
Conclusion
A leak in your garden is no fun. It can leave your yard muddy and damage your driveway. Fixing a water leak in your garden as soon as you notice it is very important. Deal with the problem quickly so that it doesn’t escalate. Take too long to deal with it, and it can become your worst nightmare. Use the tips in this guide to help with diagnosing the type of garden leak you have and then get a commercial drainage professional to fix it for you.
