Water Pooling in Your Yard

Water pooling in your yard is a good indication of a leak on your water service, especially if everywhere else is dry. Leaks in the ground can happen for many reasons from old water service lines to lawn equipment. If left unattended water leaks can cause damage to the yard and foundation around your home and possibly cause sinkholes. It's important to address these problems as soon as possible to prevent the damage from becoming worse.
