I live in south florida, house built in 2005. I had a plumber come out for $300.00 to tell me why water is coming in the master bedroom. hours later after checking he told me I had negative grade around house and rain water is getting under slab. I had a hard time believing that since we did not have rain in weeks. So I started to notice a trend when water would come in, when I would run the dishwasher... which the kitchen is on the other side of the wall. After 15-20 minutes water would come up... so I stopped using it for a week, tried again and it would leak. I pulled the front panel and ran a cycle and did not see any signs of leaking from the back underneath. If the dishwasher shares plumbing from the sink I believe wouldn't it leak if I run the sink a long time, which I tried for about 40 minutes on hot, or cold and nothing from the sink and leaking. I do not want to keep paying companies $300 just to tell me try this or try that, or even worse tell me I have a slab leak spend 2k and still not fix the issue and no recourse since all a plumber really has to say is yeah it was leaking, now its a new leak you need a re-pipe. Not saying its common but I could easily see that happening. Any ideas on what I should try.
