With the water turned off on all the water devices in your house, see if your water meter is still running.
If it runs continually, as you say, then it can only be the inlet water pipe or fitting, leaking.
I just had a wood burning whole house stove installed by a pro chimney dude. Within 2 months, the flue pipe for the chimney was leaking smoke into the house. It was leaking at the pipe joints. I went out and bought some muffler repair tape at the auto store. It's made by Permatex and is rated at 1000 degrees. It stopped the leak and continues to work fine.
If you are having issues with leaking under your sink, it could be as simple as a loose pipe fitting. Try first to tighten all of the screws. If you still experience leaking, you should contact a local plumber.
If it is leaking when you use the shower, not shutting off completely, it will need to be replaced. If it is leaking at the wall, take it off and reseal the thread on the pipe with either pipe dope or Teflon tape and reinstall.
AnswerIt may vary state to state but generally NO insurance will not cover the leaking pipe but it will cover the cost to get to it and repair the damage done to get to it as well as cover the damage done from the leak. You are on your own with the cost of the plumber. Best bet is to read your policy on exclusions. If it is not excluded, it's covered.
You will have to remove the concrete above and around the leaking pipe. All or some of the pipe may need to be replaced. If your house was new in the early 1980s, the PVC pipe that was used has been found to be generally faulty.ANS 2 - FIRST - make sure it IS under the concrete. In my experience this hardly ever happens unless the foundation has cracked, or building settled considerably.
What is above your ceiling. Chances are it is a leaking pipe (probably a waste pipe-ick) or condensation from around your air ducts. Is this a house? Leaking on 1st level or a basement? Is it a "drop" ceiling?
I'm looking for the same answer. The clay 'French pipe' along the perimeter of the crawl space seems to be full of and leaking sewage (black gunkish water). How can a pipe laid to drain ground water even contain sewage? cfgeog@wowway.com
Yes
The alternator oil pipe on combo van leaking does feed the vacuum and the return pipe.
under ground behind your house.
Probably mineral deposits. You probably have a leaking pipe or some other type of water source that's causing the mineral to build up on the pipe.

Use only black pipe

When repairing a leaking pipe, you need a plastic tube that is not leaking and with a mouth a little larger than the pipe you are replacing. No specific kind of tubing would be preferable over another type.
