This is a picture taken in my basement where the water line comes in.

I noticed a couple days ago the streak on the wall below the pipe and
a small puddle of water below. I know this cannot be good news. I
assume the pipe that runs into the house from the street has a slow
leak in it, perhaps due to tree roots growing in? I recall now that
the grass is always a little greener near the house where this pipe
runs. Now I might know why.

How much might it cost to have the yard dug up to fix a water line?
Thousands of dollars I fear. *Dreading the call to the plumber.

Thanks....

Maybe ground water, has it rained lately. There are clamps that work
to stop leaks on water pipes, so I would think how cheaply I could do
it, but anyone you get out wont be motivated to save your money

Thanks for the reply. It hasn't rained in Georgia in weeks
unfortunately, so I'm pretty sure this water is coming from the
pipe.
