We met with the homeowner today regarding visible water spots throughout the kitchen floor. The homeowner mentioned that the water has been shut off for an extended period due to this issue. After our assessment, we explained that locating the source of the leak would require a comprehensive leak detection search. This process involves selectively opening wall sections and tracing the hot water line underground to identify where it originates and determine its path. Although we discussed the option of rerouting the line overhead through the attic, the homeowner made it clear that he does not want any piping work done in the attic. Instead, he prefers that we dig underground to locate and repair the leak directly beneath the slab. Leak Source Possibilities: • From the water heater to the bar kitchen • From the water heater to the bathroom These possibilities will be confirmed during the leak search. Coordination and Next Steps: • Dave Krobach will reach out to the homeowner dire
