My water tank is not filling as expected and I have narrowed it down to a leak somewhere - but where.
The pvc runs from the guttering runs into the ground. I have examined the ground that sits in the location that I believe is above the pipe but cannot see any boggy ground or suggestion of water.
Is there a way this leak can be detected without digging up the entire system?
thanks
