I live in the Seattle area and I have a split entrance home which quite common in this area.
My service line has broken again, first time was a tree root. I am going to start the dig tomorrow to see if it is the same leak again. If it is, then I have to run a new line as we were unable to remove the trunk and root system as someone in the past planted a fir tree right on top of the water line. We can't root it out as that section of the property is used by the neighborhood utilities and all of the lines run under tree.
How do I find out where the service line entrance for the house is? The shut off valve sits about 3/4 of the way into the garage, and the line runs underneath the poured slab floor. I can see that the pipe runs up from the floor, but is it a good guess that it runs straight across to the outside. If so this would put the entrance where the utilities, phone, gas, electric are stationed.
Any help would be great.
