Water main leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water supply line.

Underground water leaks stem from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, rusted pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations.
