Water under your yard is sneaky. It doesn’t pop up with a neon sign. You can’t see it. Luckily, plumbers have a secret toolbox full of magic wands and sound machines.

First, they ask you questions. The interview. “When did the swamp start?” “Any weird noises?” This isn’t small talk. It’s forensic plumbing.

They check your water meter. If the little dial spins when all taps are off, bingo. The leak is confirmed. Now the real treasure hunt begins.
