: : I have a leak in a hot-water line inside one of my walls (I can hear it running very faintly). I'd like to pinpoint the location of the leak without having to break several holes in the wall. It occurred to me that a stethoscope might be useful for this - has anyone ever tried this? : Dan, : Sounds like a good idea. There are people out there making a living using the electronic eavsdroppers to find leaks. Terry I'll give it a try this evening and let you know if I have any luck. I picked up a stethoscope for a whopping $16, so my investment isn't too huge (well, yet). DanO
