Underground leak topples tree onto home

An Adelaide homeowner has blamed SA Water after a tree felled by wild winds crashed down on his Hallett Road house.

Haifeng Shen told 9NEWS he first contact SA Water about an underground leak that saturdated the tree about a month ago.

"It's just a matter of time, we know this is going to happen if it's not addressed, and it did happen," he said.

Repair crews came out to place a flag next to the tree, but took no action to fix the leak.

Mr Shen lodged another complaint days later, to no avail.

Other neighbours also told 9NEWS they had noticed the growing pool of water.

An SA Water spokesperson confirmed they had received the complaints, but the leak was considered "minor" and required further investigation.
