I found out that I have a water leak under my slab floor. Apparantely the leak is between the shutoff out in the yard and the meter(which is located in the hallway utility closet). I hear water gurgling in my ductwork which is also in the slab.
Called local plumber and he says I'm looking at $1500.00- $1700.00) :( I think I can fix it myself if I knew how to locate the leak without jackhammering extensive amount of floor.

We have a leak on our concreat slab floor that appears to be c oming from our bath tub through the pipes on the slab... small wet spot outsided the bedroom closet that goes through the rug.
Any suugestion as to how to repair without spending mega bucks?
Thanks,
Read the above answer. When that happens my company calls a leak detection service called Sleuth. They come out with sensitive listening devices and pinpoint the leak. They then take up the slab, bag the dirt and bare the leak for the plumber to repair.Quote:
