Saw this when I left for work this morning. Looks like a leak up near the house that's flowing down into the street. I did a quick meter check that actually didn't look bad, but I think in my hurry, I misread it. So I'm going home at lunch to check again.

Anyone have recommendations for a plumber in North Dallas? Not looking forward to having to cut up the driveway

Does the water main line connect where it's leaking? Are there water sprinkler heads in that area?

Not your sprinkler system?

The water main goes into the house just behind the hose reel in the second picture. I checked that box, and there was standing water in there, so I'm thinking I'm hosed. And yes, there are sprinklers in those raised beds. Really hoping it's the sprinkler system, but that doesn't seem likely.

Hopefully you just have a sprinker valve that is not seating correctly and allowing a low flow through those heads.

Is your sprinkler system turned off at the backflow preventer?

I shut off the sprinkler at the box, and the leak indicator was still turning. The sprinkler control box was full of water, so there was a little bit of dashed hopes there.

Managed to get a leak detection company to come out this afternoon, so I'll report back.

I highly doubt you will have to cut the driveway

Rain came through that caused some problems, but he was able to ballpark it to about 3 feet into the circle drive from the top of the flower bed. Likely shouldn't have to cut the whole thing.

Overall, I'm putting it in the "Coulda Been Worse" category, but there's still time.

Did they end up having to cut some out?
