A soaked lawn on a non-rainy day with no clear source of water can be alarming for any homeowner.
In many cases, it signals a water leak. If the City of Fort Worth or City of Benbrook inspects and determines it’s not on the city’s side of the meter, the responsibility falls to the property owner.
If homeowners have an irrigation system, they should first shut it off. Broken sprinkler valves are a common cause, especially after winter freezes. If water flow slows after shutting off the system, that could confirm the issue is irrigation-related.
If the leak continues, the problem could be a rupture in the main water line running from the street to the house — a section typically maintained by the homeowner. This may require emergency plumbing services and digging to pinpoint and repair the break.
Several plumbing companies, including J5, Mainline Plumbing, and Cathedral Plumbing, have been noted for handling these types of residential emergencies in the Fort Worth area.
Finally, check nearby properties. If surrounding yards are also saturated, it might indicate a wider issue. Either way, quick action and the right help can prevent costly damage and restore normal water use.
