Does a moving meter prove a slab leak?
No. It indicates water passing through the meter, but the source could be a fixture, irrigation, a service line, or under-slab plumbing.

A question for your property
A meter reading that keeps moving
Paloma Creek includes North and South sections, so the full address matters when arranging a visit. If the meter advances while all fixtures are off, record the reading and the time interval. That observation can help separate ordinary household use from a concealed supply-line concern.
Start with what you can observe.
Before assuming the leak is below concrete, turn off irrigation and check toilets, hose bibs, and any water-using appliances. Tell the provider which shutoffs you tested and whether the meter still moved.
Do not remove flooring or dig to investigate an unconfirmed leak. Describe the observations and ask which system needs testing.
What the findings can change.
Ask for a plan to identify the affected line before discussing floor access. The result may lead to targeted slab leak detection or to a simpler fixture or yard-line repair.

A neighborhood name is useful context, but the street address determines the property location. Confirm the provider’s coverage, timing, and scope before booking.
Bring a useful symptom history.
State when the change began, what makes it better or worse, and whether earlier work has been done. Those details help a professional choose a relevant test sequence.
If a supply leak below the foundation is confirmed, compare spot repair with rerouting. Ask what evidence supports the recommendation and who restores disturbed finishes.
