INVESTIGATING WATER USE AND MOISTURE CLUES

Investigating water use and moisture clues

A whole-home leak investigation considers visible and hidden sources rather than assuming every symptom comes from beneath the slab.

What can a moving meter indicate?

If all fixtures and water-using equipment are off and the meter still moves, water may be flowing somewhere. Follow the utility and professional guidance for checking it safely.

Could moisture come from another source?

Yes. Fixtures, appliances, supply lines, drainage, condensation, and exterior water can create similar signs.

Should I keep a record of symptoms?

Yes. Dates, photos, meter observations, and changes in water bills can help a professional understand the pattern.

When is prompt help important?

Contact a qualified professional quickly when water is actively escaping, the affected area is growing, or damage is worsening.
