Any plumbers on here?

[DoubleGobble00]

Well since yall were so helpful with my electrical problem, I got another one for you. I got a water leak. It is either between my water meter and my house, or under my slab. I believe it is in front of the house but it is hard to tell since we have had so much rain and I am not real sure where my water lines run. It is leaking about 1 gallon a minute.

I believe they make acoustical meters to locate a leak... would all plumbers have this? Or should I just keep turning my water on/off until it gets dry enough to find the leak? Any plumbers on here that work in the Jackson area?

My water bill is going to be outrageous.. I didn't even know it was leaking till I got the notice from the water company. The yard is so wet I would have never noticed it..

Thanks for any help..

Look in the front of your phone book. Should be a number to call about digging. They will come out and mark all your utility lines. Not all plumber have that specialized meter. A gallon a minute is a pretty good leak. Good luck.

Some utility companies will adjust one bill in situations such as this.

You not gonna believe me when I show you this vid but it DOES WORK and works well. We tried it a few years back with wire flags. We marked it and then went back and probed it with a probing rod. We were never more than 6 inches off. Yahoo! Video Detail for Using Dowsing Rods To Find A Water Line

I was building an above ground pool with a 36'x36' deck around it. I wasn't sure exactly where my septic tank was located, I knew it was probably in line with the vent on the roof of my house but wasn't sure. Someone that I know told me to cut 2 pieces of coathanger equal length and bend at right angle about 4" of the hanger. Hold it in a fist lightly and walk back and forth and when they cross that's your pipe. I'll be dang if it didn't work just like they said. I found the tank and leach lines so when I leveled off the area for the pool I knew I wouldn't hit any of them. That was pretty cool!

It seems every time I hear about coat hangers finding water lines; they always find lines you already know about where they are.
