Got a leak in the (I think) 3/4 copper line feeding my house. When house is shut off, I can hear water outside the foundation wall. It’s about 5 feet down and the first five feet outside the wall are under a concrete porch.
Dirt is all heavy wet clumpy clay anytime I’ve dug before. Betting the leak is just outside the wall, any ideas how far sound would travel that deep along a copper line and through 8” of concrete.
Locator is coming this morning to locate the leak.
Is it worth doing yourself or paying someone if it’s under the porch?
Schedule k copper comes on a roll and needs a compression fitting, anything else I need to know?
Is a mini excavator the only way to go?
Never run one, but betting I could figure it out.
Please share any advice or suggestions, I’m all ears and want to keep water on at my place, right now we’re turning it off and on as needed at the street, can’t see dumping 48 g/h down the earth after I’ve paid for it.
