Poulsbo High Water Bill Leak Investigation

Poulsbo leak detection, step by step

Hardpan on Finn Hill and Viking Way is why a Poulsbo leak runs for months with no wet spot. The water drains or travels, the lawn near Liberty Bay looks fine, and the bill is the only sign. The five-minute meter test is the first thing we do and the first thing you can do.

If you're near Fish Park or Highway 305 and you've noticed a wet crawlspace near the bay, the odds are on cracked poly on Noll Road in bay-side outwash that drains instantly. That's a job for high water bill investigation, not a guess with a shovel.

Pipe changes the sound. Cracked poly on Noll Road carries leak noise differently than new poly, and till with roots out Big Valley Road transmits it differently than sand. Reading that is the skill behind high water bill investigation, and why our marks on subdivision lots off Viking Avenue hold up when the ground opens.

Plenty of Poulsbo bill investigations end somewhere other than the service line: a toilet, a stuck irrigation valve, a cracked hose bib. We rule those out first. When it is the buried line, usually polybutylene in the Viking Avenue subdivisions in hardpan on Finn Hill and Viking Way, the ground microphone and correlator find it.

What Poulsbo's ground does to a leak

We meter test on the City of Poulsbo or Kitsap PUD systems and on wells alike; only the starting point moves. The leak noise from galvanized under Front Street foundations under bay-side outwash that drains instantly doesn't care who sends the bill, and high water bill investigation on subdivision lots off Viking Avenue proceeds the same way.
