So I've been trying to diagnose a leak issue I've been having for awhile.
I've been trying to fix some leaks in my house, but haven't found them all yet. Right now, I'm leaking probably around 20 gallons a day. Not much, I know. But I understand that you should leak 0.
I've done some Internet searching, but the solutions seem kind of hocus-pocus. I saw one website advertising some sort of infrared leak detection system.
I have a shutoff valve before my water softener. That disables all the interior plumbing. However that does not stop the leak. I have checked all the valves outside and they all seem to be in working order. This leads me to believe the leak is either outside underground or, worse, on the slab.
What's the best way to handle this? Should I just live with the leak? Are there methods to find it short of digging up a yard?
Thanks!
