 can not locate running water noise in my 1981 home
Author: primo037 (TX)

I have a leak in my house n I can not locate it. I've tried to eliminate every thing. We cut off water to water heater n washer in the utility room... n we still hear it. We shut off Water valve n noise does stop. The house is a concrete slab home and when water is turned on from main you can hear water running through the kitchen drain. Why is that? There is no wet spots anywhere.

I also put shark bites on main line.

Would they make running water noise or any noise what so ever?

Thank you

If you have exhausted all the possibilities, then it is time to call in the pros.

The most common cause of that symptom is a cracked hot water line under the floor.
