[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3349927, member: 40864"] Well... it seems we have a water leak under our concrete slab. :/ The water bill jumped from $27 to $35 to $39 to $53 since December. The meter has a small triangle "flow indicator," and it doesn't stop unless I close the water valve going into the house. No leaking toilets or significant faucet drips. I tried shutting off the valve at the water heater, and the flow indicator keeps moving. So... the good news is, that it's not on the hot water side. However... the bad news is, that it's not on the hot water side. :/ Any ideas on shortcuts/whatever to locate the leak? I've been around the house looking for wet spots (also checked front/back faucets and the water heater pop-off), but it's rained so much lately that "wetness" isn't much of an indicator. And it's supposed to rain again this weekend. All I can think of is opening up walls and start plugging off non-hot water lines. Any ideas (and prayers!) will be appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
