Leak calls in Post Falls
The usual story is a water bill that jumped, a stain that appeared on a ceiling or wall, or a sound of water that will not stop. The first thing a contractor asks is whether the meter moves with everything off. That one test splits the problem in two: a leak on the system, or a bill that has another explanation. See the meter check steps .
Water supply in Post Falls
An Idaho National Laboratory fact sheet says the City of Post Falls runs 8 active wells that all draw from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. Leaks on the home side of the meter are the homeowner’s to fix, while questions about the meter or the service line before it go to the water provider. Ask the city which side a problem is on before paying for repairs on a line that may not be the homeowner’s.
Slab, crawl space or basement?
The type of foundation changes the search. A leak under a slab is found with testing and listening equipment rather than by sight, while a crawl space or basement lets a contractor look at the pipes directly. Tell the contractor which the home has, and mention any warm floor spots or damp patches.
