About 2 days ago, I started hearing some hissing / water fountain (falling water) type noise coming from the main water line that is entering my house. The noise was pretty loud.
1. I turned off the water coming into the house by turning the valve on the main line.
2. I drained all the water from the internal plumbing by turn on the kitchen sink, and the exterior faucet (shown in video)
3. I checked all the sinks/toilets in the house and there are no leaks of any kind and/or any sound coming from the interior plumbing. The house was built 2.5 years ago so it is fairly new.
4. Then I turned the water line back on. The noise has died down considerably but I'm still hearing a hissing / drinking from a straw kind of noise if I stand nearby.
4. I also dug up a little of the mulch around the main water line but the ground isn't wet. So I am not sure if there is a leak somewhere near the main line (in the underground pipe) or some debris is stuck or what the source of this noise is.
6. I will call my plumbing company tomorrow and see if they can come out and inspect it and advise as to what is going on. I have plumbing maintenance as part of my annual contract with them so I'm hoping they'll check this out and advise on what is going on.
