They prove it first with the water meter and a pressure gauge, isolate the hot and cold sides, then pinpoint it with acoustic listening and, on hot lines, thermal imaging.
Can you have a slab leak and not know it?
Yes. A cold-water leak never warms the floor, and a slow one hardly moves the meter. A pressure-gauge test is what catches the ones you cannot see.
