Thread: Swamp yard

  1. #1

    Default Swamp yard

    I seem to have a water leak in the backyard. Not sure if it is related to the pool or sprinkler. The ground is soft and the drain at the street has water flowing. Looking for recommendations in the Allen area.

    Is the pool level dropping? If not, sprinklers. Turn off sprinkler system water supply.

    Make the boy dig a hole to find the leak.

    The pool has an auto-fill on it. I guess I could turn it off and watch it. I have the sprinkler off to see if it drys up.

    I might place an IR camera in the yard to see if jrj512 is using my yard as a toilet.

    Does it smell like pie or sorrow? If so, it's Jimmy poo.

    You shut off the water supply to the sprinkler system because it can still leak even with the box in the garage turned off. BTDT.

    Yep, BTDT too. Sprinkler main line popped a leak. Recieved a $400 water bill and flooded the field behind the house.

    Is there a septic tank under there?

    We used these guys: http://www.americanleakdetection.com...ntial-service/ when we had a leak under our slab. Took him about 30 minutes and then put a piece of tape on our master bathroom floor and said it was within 3 feet of that spot under the concrete. He was right....

    They aren't the cheapest, but they do good work and will find your leak...
