Pearland High Water Bill: Hidden Lateral Leak vs Drainage

A Pearland water bill that jumped $80–$150 with no extra people in the house is often a lateral under the side-yard mulch. Shadow Creek Ranch and Silverlake clay hold the wet spot in a tight circle. You will not see a geyser.

We locate with a probe and listening gear, cut out the failed section, and pressure-test before we close. If the yard is wet after rain with the irrigation off, skip sprinklers and read our drainage page — or book a visit from Pearland sprinkler repair and we will sort which problem you actually have.
