Now that you have found water in the underbelly, (and sorry to hear that by the way), you can determine if you have a leak from a fresh water pipe pretty quick. You can also determine if you have a leak on one of your holding tanks pretty fast also, especially since you removed the chloroplast underbelly.

First, add water to your fresh water tank and simply turn on your water pump and let your pipes pressurize. Now, sit back and wait. If there is any kind of leak in your water pipes.... anywhere ... you'll hear the water pump kick on and off and on and off cycling. Unless you have a pressure tank installed, it takes only about 2 ounces of water for the pressure to drop enough to kick the pump on. If you have all your faucets turned off, and the pump is cycling on and off ... you know you have a leak somewhere in the pipes.

Now, if the pump does not cycle on and off, then fill your fresh water tank, fill your grey tanks and fill your black tank and wait. If you have a break, a leak, or anything wrong ... you'll see water coming from under them somewhere. You know where the problem is.

If you still have no leaks, then the problem is rain intrusion. Finding the source could be challenging, but at least you know it's not anything related to your water system leaking.


Before tearing more apart, try these 3 things first and eliminate them. It could save you a world of headache and expense, especially if you start disassembling things.
