Problem at the root
When we returned from a few days away, my husband noticed that there was lots of dampness outside near an area that should have had sprinkler heads. We called an expert who located the leaky pipe connection UNDER A PINE TREE. While they were digging it free, they also found the water shut off to the house UNDER THE PINE TREE. The Pine tree might have to go. IMG_5840-w
water line route to shut off valve
The water comes from the middle of 3 meters on Pine Cone St (at skyline in photo). Where Gustaf is working is a shut off from the ca 1993 black water pipe where it joins the 2011 PEX. Another shut off is located under the house in the access hatch in the bathroom floor. Line is buried 18-24"
