Do you have low water pressure at your house or place of business?
A hole or crack in your water piping might be the cause. Since some of the water is leaking out you won’t get all the water needed at your faucet. The pipes that are below our slabs or below ground can’t be seen so the low water pressure is a clue that you may have a leak. Another clue is if you feel the floor beneath your feet is warmer in one area. That could signal a hot water leak beneath your slab.
With the weather as hot and dry as it has been here in our area the ground tends to crack and shift and causes much stress on these pipes. I am sure you have seen the huge water main breaks for city services in the news – well the same stresses occur with your plumbing systems underground.
