Quick answer
How to Detect a Water Leak in Your Yard
A yard leak often shows as a wet or extra-green patch, water near the meter box, or a meter that moves with all water off. To confirm it, close the main valve at the house and watch the meter. If it still moves, the leak is likely in the yard line. Pros then trace the line and use a ground microphone to pinpoint the leak. Garden Grove homes get water from Garden Grove Water Services.
Why Yard Leaks Are Easy to Miss
Water from a buried line soaks into the soil. It may never reach the surface, or it may come up far from the leak. We start at the meter, split outside from inside, then trace the line and listen along it.
Our team is professional and experienced, and we explain each step as we go.
