THE SHORT ANSWER
A plumber may first isolate piping and perform pressure or meter tests to confirm a concealed water leak. Depending on the situation, acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, tracer methods or targeted exposure can help narrow its location. Accuracy varies with pipe materials and site conditions; testing aims to minimize unnecessary demolition, not guarantee a zero-dig repair.
