When this becomes an emergency

What a pro does

Finding it is most of the work. The plumber first splits the question into three: is the loss inside the building, in the service line running to it, or out in irrigation, because all three read the same at the meter. Isolating the house from the service settles that quickly. Outdoor plumbing is where a lot of Colorado leaks begin. A hose bibb that froze and split over the winter behaves perfectly while the valve is closed and then floods a wall cavity the first time it's opened in spring, and a sprinkler system that wasn't fully blown out does something similar. Indoors the plumber works with moisture meters and acoustic listening to trace the run before opening a wall or a ceiling, and pays attention to anything passing through unheated space, since that's where the freeze damage that started this usually happened. The repair matches the existing pipe material, and it gets pressure tested before anything is closed back up. On a line that froze once, the plumber looks at the rest of the exposed run too.

Frequently asked questions

Frost split them while they held no pressure. An outdoor spigot or a drained sprinkler line can crack in January and give no sign, because there's nothing behind it pushing water out. Turn it on in April and the failure appears all at once.
By isolating. Shutting the valve where the service enters the building separates house from yard, and reading the meter afterward says which side is still losing water. It's a five minute test that keeps anyone from opening a wall for a leak that was buried outdoors.
It can, and telling them apart is part of the visit. Groundwater tends to track the weather, showing up during melt or after heavy rain, while a supply leak runs at the same rate regardless. A meter check with the house closed down usually separates the two.
That varies quite a bit between carriers and often depends on whether the line is covered by a separate endorsement. Contact your insurance provider to find out what applies to your property before committing to the repair.
