    Water leaking along foundation
    Hi all,
    Was about to go to bed last night when I noticed a damp spot in the corner of my bedroom. When I got up this morning looked outside and found wet spots along the foundation at that part of the house. We haven't had any rain for the past week and a half so I figured maybe a leaking pipe in the wall or something. There is a bathroom along this part of the house as well... any ideas what it could be? Name: 1445699739359-163709801.jpg Views: 203 Size: 862.2 KB

    Your only remedy at this point is to investigate further. Have you tried shutting off all water sources and check your water meter to see if it is still moving? That may help give you a clue if there is a broken pipe after the meter. If this is a well water supply then do the same but monitor the well source for pressure drops.

    There may be a pipe inside that wall that is leaking. You should be able to hear the leak at night when noise is down. You may have to cut open the wall on the inside to investigate the source of the leak. Do not let it go for too long.
