Recently had a slab leak under the floor in the kitchen. Leak was fixed and concrete poured. The plumber assured me that there were no other leaks. However, he did not do a pressure test.
I have noticed that the leak indicator dial on the water meter spins slowly back-and-forth, which I know can be seen with pressure fluctuations. However, when I check the reading at night before I go to bed and again when I wake up, I see that 0.5 gallons have been consumed in a seven hours. This is with all of the valves to the toilets shut off and also with the icemaker shut off.
Could this be another leak? If the leak is that small, half a gallon in seven hours, can it even be found?
should I chase this, or wait and see what happens?
