Last Tuesday I noticed water coming under a brick wall on my carport area outside. I didn't think much about it until Wednesday when I noticed the leak had increased in size.
On Wednesday afternoon I discovered another leak coming onto my front porch and the flowerbeds on the front side of the house started filling up with water.
On Thursday the water started coming inside the house which left me with no choice but to contact my city's water department and have them send someone out to cut my water off.
The water department told me Wednesday afternoon I was averaging 250 gallons per hour coming through my meter. The water is now off; the leaking both inside and outside of the house has stopped.
The house was my parents house built in 1962; it's built on a concrete slab. Is this problem correctable and if a licensed plumber who knows what he's doing does come out what will the plumber do first to try and find what's causing or where the water leak is under the house?
The city did tell me the water to the house would have to be turned back on before the plumber could start looking for the leak. As soon as the water is turned back on the leaking in and out of the house will start again. Feedback would be appreciated.
