Hello all!
Almost a year ago I had a leak under my house near my kitchen sink. My house is on a slope so we knew we had the leak because all the water went to the street and flooded the area where the meter is. Soon after fixing the leak we noticed the meter still moved even when no water is running. We have yet to see water come out of anywhere from under the house almost a year later. I only remembered today because the city came by and replaced my meter and they also noticed the meter moving after telling them I wasn't using any water. Where would be a good place to start to look for this leak? No running toilets or water heater either. It baffles me that there hasn't been any mud or visible water anywhere around my foundation. Any helpful tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
1. shut house off at the service entrance and see if meter still runs
2. If outside the house: use quality leak locating company to find the leak
3. If inside the foundation, observation or leak locating company can use a variety of techniques to listen or sniff.
