How this tool works

A water meter only moves when water flows through it. With every fixture and appliance off, any movement between two readings is water leaving the pipes somewhere: a toilet flapper, a dripping faucet, an irrigation valve or a pipe hidden in a wall or under the slab. The tool turns the two readings into gallons an hour and gallons a day.

Many Seminole homes from the 1970s and 1980s have copper supply pipe in or under the slab, so a meter that keeps moving with everything off is a common first sign of a slab leak. Warm spots on the tile, the sound of running water and a sudden jump in the water bill are others. The slab leak water damage page covers what happens after a leak is found. This is an indicator only and does not replace a leak detection visit.
