Water leaks can be tricky. If water is visible on a wall then it could be necessary to cut into the wall to find a leak. Listening in a very quiet house may allow you to hear a spraying leak. If a leak is suspected because of a high water bill, look at the water meter. The small dial moves when water runs. Shut off cut offs under the sinks and toilets and the water should stop running. Turn them on one at a time and watch until the meter tons again. There is your leak.

How do you detect if it is a slab leak?
First, you need to determine if you have a leak anywhere in your home. Check to make sure that your faucets, toilets, showers, hoses, ice-makers etc are not using water. Once you have determined that nothing visible is leaking, look at the water meter. The leak Indicator is a small triangle or star on the face of the meter, and if it is moving, even slowly, you have a leak somewhere. If you turn of the shut-off valve (often near the ground in a closet or near the hot water heater) to close it, and the leak indicator stops, then the leak is on a supply line to a fixture in your home. The shut-off valve often appears to go nowhere. It comes out of the wall, an perhaps splits off prior to going straight back into the wall or slab floor. If the leak indicator does not stop when you close the shut-off valve, the leak is on the service line into your home, and may or may not be under your slab, but is definitely under the ground. Movement on the leak indicator usually means a good deal of water is leaking, and you should see water coming from a wall or perhaps out of the floor. If you have no visible water, and constant movement on the indicator, a slab leak is a good bet. A leak detection company can help you find it, and get it repaired.

How do you use pressure to find leak?
If you are looking for a leak, and you can build up the pressure inside the thing, there are two ways you can find the leak pretty effectively. You can either submerge the object under water (if it won't damage the object), and look for bubbles rising through the water from the leak. This is very effective for finding leaks in inner tubes and tires, for instance. If the object can't be submerged underwater for some reason, then apply a little soapy water to the areas that you suspect the leak to be. If you see soap bubbles growing, that is where the leak is!
