Called out for a possible leak today, damp section of insulationin attic and water stains on the ceiling. 2007 house piped overhead in pex b. Checked all connections in the attic, couldn't find anything. So we decided to run pressure test: shut off every stop, checked every shower/tub, and put a gauge on the washer outlet. The meter isn't perceptably moving. We shut it off. The gauge drops from 90 psi to 0 in about 45 seconds. Turn meter back on, it spins then stops. Doesn't move for 5 minutes. Try the test again, gauge still drops.
My journey and service manager (master) were stumped. Any ideas what it could be?
The water in the attic turn out to be bad flashing when the roof got redone. We found that by hosing down the roof.
