High Water Bill Leak Investigation for Indianola Homes and Properties

How we find leaks in Indianola

Around the Indianola Dock and Port Madison the culprit behind a surprise bill is usually galvanized under much-remodeled cabins weeping for a season under wooded parcels along Miller Bay Road. Small leaks at service pressure still move hundreds of gallons a day. We find it, fix it, and hand you the paperwork.

We've seen a wet spot that's just the bluff draining on shared lines with no drawings near Kitsap Memorial and pressure dropping on a shared line by Indianola Road. Both times the line was poly on the outlying wooded lots, the ground was ground that holds water all winter, and the fix was high water bill investigation done once.

Background noise near Kitsap Memorial is part of high water bill investigation: traffic, pumps, a creek over bluff clay above Port Madison. Filters and patience get past it. Guessing from pressure dropping on a shared line does not, which is how narrow village lanes near the dock gets trenched for nothing.

A high bill in Indianola comes from Kitsap PUD, whose job ends at the meter. We quantify the loss there, isolate the house, check irrigation separately, and only then locate on galvanized under much-remodeled cabins under wooded parcels along Miller Bay Road.

Soil, pipe and sound in Indianola

The bluff clay holds water, so an acoustic locate on the pressurized line is the only reliable way to separate a leak from the bluff draining. On the bigger wooded parcels along Indianola Road and Miller Bay Road the runs are long and the mini excavator does the work.

The ground decides how a leak shows itself. With ground that holds water all winter on shared lines with no drawings, water travels the trench and surfaces as a wet spot that's just the bluff draining, often nowhere near the pipe. For high water bill investigation we don't dig where water appears; we meter test and listen for the pipe.

What to expect

In Indianola the variables are a sandy beach shelf below the village and lines run across neighbors on easements under bluff lots facing Port Madison, and we've handled both near the beach enough to give an honest window for high water bill investigation.
