They can cause serious structural damage to your home, and even lead to mold or flooding if they go unnoticed for too long. Underground water leaks may be tricky to identify, but there is a professional out there who fixes them: an experienced plumber. They can use their knowledge and tools to identify the source of the leak, and then take the necessary steps to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Tell If A Water Pipe Is Broken Underground?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3 most common ways that a homeowner becomes notified of a possible underground water leak are&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The water bill is higher than normal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s a noticeable water stain on the floor or wall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s a puddle of water in the yard<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is to turn off all the water faucets in your home &#8211; this should stop the water meter from running.&nbsp; Then go check your water meter and if you see that the indicator in your meter is running, that means that somewhere, water is still running and you&#8217;re being charged for that water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect that you may have a leak somewhere in your plumbing system, we recommend that you contact a professional plumber as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Find A Broken Underground Pipe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plumbers use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantisplumbing.com\/service\/sewers\/atlanta-sewer-camera-inspection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">camera inspection<\/a>&nbsp;equipment to help them find a broken pipe quickly and this will help greatly if your leak happens to be under the home&#8217;s foundation or under your driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But oftentimes, if the leak happens to be out in your yard, you can usually identify it if there&#8217;s a puddle of water in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll first want to check your sprinkler system (if you have one) and the problem could simply be coming from that system.&nbsp; If not, the problem could be your main water line and depending on where the leak is, it could be something that your city is responsible for, or that you are responsible for fixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locating leaks, whether they be behind walls or underground is a very time consuming and frustrating project. The proper equipment can make the job easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about underground water leaks or are having some problems with it, call Atlantis Plumbing today at&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:+17705058570\">770-505-8570<\/a>.
