I would really appreciate someone’s help. We have a plumber coming on Tuesday through our home warranty but the lady told me 3 times the leak detection is not covered so we are trying to figure out where is this coming from. The leak is between dining/kitchen and living room (carpet) the drywall u see is the kitchen wall behind it we have sink and dishwasher. texas, ground level no basement.
- We checked the meter outside when everything is off it’s not moving
- the water is clear and cold
- no warm tiles, or flooring
- i checked under sink, all cabinets no sign of water or even water damage
- it dries ( we use water take showers it didn’t seem to trigger the leak) then it leaks again. today I did a test and ran a dishwasher and it seems it’s triggered by it (not sure) the area around and under dishwasher is dry though. (behind that wall we have sink, dishwasher )
we cut out a piece of drywall around the corner (photo nr 3 ) thinking the plastic pipes were leaking (had two pex pipes leaks in the last year) but the area is completely dry inside and pipes u touched :/
is this a slab leak?
