It's in a mobile home park and everything is on one meter. We can't hear anything or see any water yet the water meter is running rapidly. I need to get this repaired right away. I've called several excavators in town but they are backed up. How can I isolate or what ever I need to do to find this leak?
There are people that are specailists in this. They use listening equipment or ground sonar to find the leak. I had a slab leak and had to hire one, it cost about 250.00 I'm in california.
Well, you're going to have to do some digging. Obviously you can start at the meter and work your way toward where the pipe goes into the house, if you don't see and hear water running inside your place then the leak will be underground. When you find it, take pictures of what you've found, the utility where I live will give you a pass or at least a reduction on a big bill if you can show you had a leak.
Easiest way to locate the leak is to look for the wet spot. If you have a large leak there will be a very wet spot on the ground above it. Many cases like this don't require any special equipment.
