I know where the hot water line runs under my slab and along the entire line I can feel the carpet/tile warm. The warm "spot" is not exactly a spot. It is a straight line about 3ft in width that runs exactly above the hot water line, which is about a foot under the slab. I had a professional plumber come in and check the situation. We shut off all the water and the water meter did not move. He also used a listening device along the warm line and he assures me that there is no leak. The hot water line is copper and is under a 3 inch concrete slab and a foot of dirt. Is it possible that the heat radiating from the copper pipe is heating my carpet? I noticed this 3 weeks ago and it has been warm in the exact same spots (not expanding), but that doesn't mean it hasn't been like this for longer.
Thanks.
