I heard a leak this morning by the kitchen sink. I had a plumber come out today, and he disconnected an outside line which had been rigged to an outside faucet and the leak stopped. Now it's back. I have a little pool by the foundation, and water continues to run into the little pool. I opened the meter cover, and the meter is still. I'm brokenhearted!

If the little pointer in the meter's not moving then either the meter's faulty or the water you see is water that has built up under the slab and is now draining out. After all these house is it still draining outside or has it stopped? If you still have a leak, call the nplumber back and have him complete his work. Good luck, Tom

It's still leaking this morning. The plumber I used is a company that came well recommended, and who has been in business for many years. I have left word, and I'm sure they'll come out again this morning. Thanks for the reply.

Gave me an additional idea about the meter
