Why is my yard suddenly sinking or staying wet?
If you notice soft ground, pooling water, or sinking areas in your yard, it may be caused by an underground pipe leak.
When a buried water line or drain pipe breaks, water washes away the surrounding soil and creates hidden voids. Over time, this can lead to foundation issues, higher water bills, and serious property damage.
Common signs include:
• Soggy or sunken spots
• Unexpected increases in water usage
• Cracks in nearby concrete
• Persistent puddles with no rain
Catching leaks early can prevent major repairs.
