Step 3 · Isolate the Leak: Sectioning Your Plumbing System

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

If the water meter test confirms a leak, systematically isolate sections of your plumbing. Turn off the water supply to individual areas (e.g., bathroom, kitchen) and repeat the water meter test for each section. This process helps narrow down the leak’s location.
