Hello,
For several days, we have noticed a small pool of water standing in a flower bed at the front corner of our neighbor’s house. The house is single story and on a concrete foundation. We have never met the neighbor, and we feel that the neighbor might resent us attempting to interfere in her business, so we haven’t said anything about it to her. We don’t know whether she has noticed the leak or not.
The water seems to be always there in the morning, and we think that the leak may be directly outside one of the bathrooms in the house, so we assume that it could possibly be due to a leak from the neighbor’s bathtub or shower. From time to time, the water seems to dry up, but it always comes back later.
The neighbor’s yard drains toward the front of the house, so the water never gets more than a foot or so beyond the front of the foundation.
And we haven’t had any rain lately.
Question: If this leak were due to a broken underground or under slab pipe, which would be under pressure, wouldn’t it leak constantly and not dry up intermittently?
Thanks,
Louis
