Big Lawns and Old Slabs Together
Homes in this part of Newark sit on generous lots, so water leaves the system in more than one way.
- Irrigated yards: Large lawns mean long sprinkler lines, and a cracked line can waste water for weeks unnoticed.
- Original copper: Slabs from the 1960s and 1970s hold copper that is now decades old.
- Hot lines first: Heat stresses the hot side, so warm spots on floors point to a hot line leak.
- Two causes, one bill: A jump in the bill may come from the yard, the slab or both.

How We Test a Yard and a Slab
Large lots need a plan that covers both outdoors and in.
- Meter test: We confirm water is leaving by watching the dial with everything off.
- Zone by zone: Each sprinkler zone is turned on alone, so a broken line stands out.
- Pressure test the house: Isolated hot and cold lines show whether the slab is losing water.
- Listen and trace: Microphones and thermal tools mark the exact spot on the floor or lawn.
You leave with a clear report and repair options, so you can decide what to fix first.

Tips for Birch Grove Homeowners
- Find the main shutoff: In slab houses of this era it is often near the water heater or on the front wall.
- Check the irrigation timer: A stuck zone can run all night.
- Read the meter twice: Once with sprinklers off and once with them on.
- Know your provider: Alameda County Water District handles the street side of the meter.
Summer is the busiest season for yard leaks here, since sprinklers run daily and a small crack loses more water each week. Checking the irrigation before the bill arrives is a simple habit that pays off.
