Poulsbo Underground Water Leak Detection

Locating in Poulsbo

Pressurized water escaping galvanized under Front Street foundations makes a continuous sound that travels up through till with roots out Big Valley Road. On subdivision lots off Viking Avenue near Fish Park we walk the traced line listening for the peak, then confirm with the correlator so the one pit we open is the right one.

Acreage along Big Valley Road near Liberty Bay, polybutylene in the Viking Avenue subdivisions below, bay-side outwash that drains instantly around it: that's the Poulsbo version of underground water leak detection, and a pressure drop at the far end of the house is the usual first clue.

The ground decides how a leak shows itself. With bay-side outwash that drains instantly on acreage along Big Valley Road, water travels the trench and surfaces as a pressure drop at the far end of the house, often nowhere near the pipe. For underground water leak detection we don't dig where water appears; we correlate and listen for the pipe.

A Poulsbo locate starts at the the City of Poulsbo or Kitsap PUD meter: fixtures closed, low-flow indicator watched, house isolated. Then we trace the route through subdivision lots off Viking Avenue, listen with the ground microphone over till with roots out Big Valley Road, correlate across the run, and mark the break near where galvanized under Front Street foundations gave out.
