What this site is
UnderSlab is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and work that opens a structural slab is normally permitted — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work and no leak detection, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Sterling in numbers

What a reading cannot tell you
A meter that keeps moving with the house shut off proves a leak exists. It does not prove where, and it does not prove it is under the slab.
It is found by listening first
Correlation and acoustic listening locate a leak before anything is opened. Opening the floor to find it, rather than to fix it, is the expensive order to do this in.
