Finding a water leak

Jonah42 · 2010-12-27 15:03:17

Hi, Yesterday the water supply to out house stopped. We're pretty sure it's due to a water pipe outside leaking, but we've no way of finding the leak short of digging up the whole driveway. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

There are leak detection companys who use specialist sound equipment to detect and find leaks.

Unless its a complete break you should still have some amount of water coming into the house, are you?

Mains pipes generally dont burst, they tend to fail at the fittings instead.
