Home well pump - pressure leak issues
I noticed that my home well pump kicks on about every 5 minutes when there's no faucets turned on. I shut down the main valve to the house, and I watch the pressure gauge slowly fall until the pump turns on again. There's no obvious leaks inside the house (since I shut the main valve down), so it must be underground?
I do have a red, outdoor water faucet in the yard near the well pump. It's not on, no obvious leaks, etc..
It seems like a semi-slow leak. Hoping it's not a busted underground well line...
Has anyone seen this before? Just curious as I don't want to get a backhoe involved to dig this up.
I plan to contact the well company, but thought I'd ask here first.
