The water flow at my barn is down to a trickle and the water stream coming out of the hose is dirty brown so I’m assuming I have a busted pipe underground. The water at my house is full pressure and clean so I figure the break must be between the house and the barn.
So, I’m in he process of chasing this leak down. I’ve looked in all the stalls of the barn and all around the barn. No water showing anywhere. I’ve looked along the ground from the house to the barn and still no water or damp ground showing. I’ve started digging about every two feet along the waterline going to the barn trying to find wet ground. My ground is very hard and about like trying to dig through cement. Speaking of cement, my barn sits on a cement slab so if the leak is under there then that changes things.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to finding an underground leak or do I just keep digging?
