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!

Did you file a homeowner's insurance claim? I think the cost to locate the leak, and to remove and replace the concrete and flooring would most likely be covered. The only part that would not be covered would be the cost to actually repair the leak.
