At my mom's house the other day and thought I heard water in the one corner of the house. Went outside and shut off the main water line and still heard it. I cleared the water from the outdoor spigot line and the water sound is gone. Sound returns when I turn main water back. No signs of water on the floor or walls and cant find any wet spots outside. Any ideas?

Does she have a sprinkler system? It could be a leak in the ground out side.

If it's an exterior wall, depending on the leak, it might take some time before you actually see the leak. The wood framing and insulation might be soaking it up. You better call a local plumber to check it out.

She doesn’t have a sprinkler system. It sounds like rushing water probably would see something by now I would think.

Let's be more specific. Do you hear water dripping or do you hear that characteristic sound of water running through the pipes or do you hear something more like a babbling brook? What do you mean?
Explain what you did to clear the spigot (and is anything hooked up to it?).

I'd hit up a professional. sucks, because they ain't cheap, but they are cheaper than long term water damage.

Not a drip sounds like flowing. All I did was turn off main water then turn on the outdoor faucet to clear it of water. Nothing is hooked up to it. Did have a watering system but has been disconnected and all the other faucets are turned off. Argh don’t want to call a Plummer to find out she doesn’t have a leak.

Water cost me 14 cents a gallon last I checked including waste water. So it needs to be a major leak before I call the plumber at an emergency rate on my properties. I work with a property which had 20,000 gallons of water leaking a month. We could only isolate it to a 100 foot run of pipe which was buried six to eight feed underground. We couldn't locate the specific leak location, and guess it was leaking down into an underground cave. We ran a new line closer to the surface of the ground called it good. You might have a leak running down into a cave you aren't aware of. |

Shadow is there a septic tank? I have heard it before. If a septic tank is leaking it makes that very sound. I'm afraid without seeing it I can't diagnose fully.

Been trying to check the meter but somehow the box got covered up with dirt and grass so been probing around with a screw driver looking for it. She doesn't have a septic tank. Not sure bout the neighbors but I dont think so.
Thanks all for the help.
