It sounds like you have a water pipe going from the well to a pressure and/or holding tank??? If that's what you have and water is leaking underground, you will have to dig up the pipe and repair/replace it. If there is a leak the tanks might never get satisfied and the pump will run forever. Are you sure where this is where it's leaking? Do you see any water soaking up on the ground? Could it be running back down the pipe into the well? I think you have to determine where the problem is and then figure out how to solve the problem. You haven't really explained the problem is located so it will be difficult for people to give advice.

Typically, as soon as the foundation is built and braced or the first floor is on, it's backfilled for the safety of the trades on-site. When it comes time to install drains and the water line, which often run together, the backhoe digs and backfills again. No big deal, no placeholders needed. BTW, that seems a problematic place to run a water line, where it may be vulnerable to backfilling damage and frost if you're in a cold or very cold climate. In any case, check with whomever brings in the supply what their procedure is, listen and follow it.

Not sure what your budget is but if you really want space you could turn the sliding glass door into a single exterior door, and move the kitchen out into the space of half of the removed slider. It would have to be done right, and expensive, but what you are asking about will not work. And you would only be gaining 4-5" vs 3-4 feet. I did that in my old home, I removed the slider put a single Anderson Prehung Metal door in. I framed in a small window next to the new door, yours would be to the right of the door. You keep the pony wall, it would have to be moved out along with the plumbing in the slab, but that is not that difficult (for a contractor). Good luck.

Is There Water in My Air Conditioning Unit? https://www.cooling-heating.org/ Sound: Dripping Water. If you hear the sound of dripping water coming from your indoor unit, it likely means condensation is not draining properly. Moisture naturally builds up in your HVAC system and should drain out if it’s working correctly. A blocked drainage tube could be preventing condensation from properly draining. Sound: A bubbling or gurgling water sound coming from your indoor AC or furnace unit is usually an indication of a pressure issue. Improper internal pressure could be due to an overcharge of refrigerant (too much). It could also be the result of a refrigerant leak. Anytime the refrigerant level is incorrect, it causes an imbalance of pressure and air can get in where it shouldn’t be, which in turn causes the bubbling or gurgling noise you are hearing. Your air conditioner takes in warm air from your home and blows it over an evaporator coil which contains refrigerant. As the liquid circulates and absorbs heat, condensation will begin to form. If you’ve ever noticed water droplets on a cold glass during a hot summer day, you know what we’re talking about. This moisture collects on your unit’s coils and runs down into the drain pan. Finally, the water flows through the condensation line which drains outside of your home. So, if your AC is working properly, this water should drain and not hang around in your unit, and you shouldn't hear any dripping noises. When You Have a Problem If you hear splashing around your house and it isn’t your kids playing in the pool, this is a sign that your air conditioner isn’t working properly. Some of the most common reasons your unit would be making a dripping noise include: A clogged condensate drain line A cracked drain pain Improper installation or size of the unit A broken condensate pump A dirty air filter Lack of refrigerant
