issue, like a sewer or water line leak. And if left unchecked, you could

standpoint.
That's why we will quickly go
over the possible sources for a water in your front yard and what you should do
now to find and solve the problem.
Sources of Water Leak in Front Yard
If there is a water leak in your
front yard, it could be from one of three sources: irrigation system, sewer
line, or main water line. We will briefly go over these sources and then
explain the best way to know where a leak is coming from.
Irrigation System Leak
The water in your yard could be
from a leak in your irrigation system, otherwise known as your sprinkler
system. Your main line provides water to this system. What makes a leak in your
irrigation system particularly difficult to identify is if it is underground.
Possible signs of an irrigation
system leak include water pooling around a sprinkler head or water spurting
between sprinklers.
Sewer Line Leak
Your sewer line provides a
critical role for your home comfort—that is, to carry wastewater out of your
home.
When water is in your front
yard, it could be attributed to a sewer line leak, which typically is
associated with a smell of sewage as well. You may also notice unusually green
grass or even rats infiltrating your yard (gross!).
Here's several other common signs of a sewer
line leak:
●
Weird
sounds coming from your toilets
●
Absence
of water inside your toilets
●
Sewer
smell on your property
●
Sewage
backing up in your bathtub
Sewer line issues can be a
serious disruption to your home's comfort, health, and safety. You may need a sewer line repair
or replacement now. Our team of expert Atlanta plumbers can
provide a sewer line inspection to determine the next step.
Water Line Leak
The water line is the pipe that
runs from your water meter to the inside of your house. A water line leak is a
very serious issue that requires prompt repair or replacement.
In addition to a pool of water
in your front yard, a few other common signs include the following:
●
Water
spots in your home
●
Mold
or mildew presence in your home
●
Low
water pressure
●
Plumbing
clogs more than usual
If you think you have a water line leak, you
should immediately call a plumber, as you may need a repair or water line
replacement.
Now that we covered the
potential sources for water in your front yard keep in mind that it's
difficult to ascertain the source of a leak yourself without the consultation
of a licensed Atlanta plumber.

where a leak is coming from is by scheduling a service with a licensed plumber.
