Default Leak repair

All good replies. For what it is worth, I had a slow leak under the concrete pad for 3-4 months with pronounced wet spots in the yard. Plumbers all indicated they could check the standard internal leakage points but had limited capabilities beyond that. Contacted a leak detection service. Paid $1500 for 1 hour of detection services. Ouch! The detector nailed the leak within 4 inches in the middle of my kitchen floor. It was 18-24 inches under the pad. After removing tile, digging down, fixing the leak-all is well. Yes, it is a last option but well worth the money to keep in mind. Good Luck!
