LOCAL STARTING POINT
Start with the meter and the service boundary

Meter guide →How water service line leak detection works
A useful investigation usually starts by separating intentional water use from unexplained consumption. From there, the property layout, meter behavior, visible moisture, pressure, and the suspected route of the buried line can guide the next test.
The objective is not to promise a particular result or a specific detection technology. It is to gather enough evidence to narrow the likely source and decide what should happen next.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if my Prattville property has a buried water-line leak?
Check whether the meter shows water use when fixtures are off and look for unexplained wet areas, pressure changes, or water usage that does not match normal activity.
Who handles the water system in Prattville?
The applicable utility depends on the property. Official city information can help identify the water provider, especially where service boundaries differ.
Can a service-line leak happen without a puddle in Prattville?
Yes. Underground water can move through soil and may not surface directly over the break.
Should I shut off my water during a leak in Prattville?
If water loss is active and you can safely access the property shutoff, reducing flow can limit waste and damage while you seek help.
Can a high water bill be a clue?
Yes. A sustained unexplained increase can justify a meter check and further investigation.
Does leak detection include repair?
Detection and repair are separate steps. Detection helps narrow the suspected source so the appropriate repair decision can be made.
Is 24/7 help available?
This website provides 24/7 call assistance for connecting property owners with independent local service professionals. Provider availability varies.
Can the utility determine whether a leak is on my side?
The utility may help clarify the service boundary. A private-side professional can then investigate the property if appropriate.
