A meter test with irrigation excluded
A Wellington Trace community page identifies this as a Little Elm area. If use appears high but no fixture is visibly leaking, a controlled meter observation can help the next conversation.
Start with what you can observe.
Choose a period when appliances and irrigation are off, record the meter, and note any known automatic fill devices. Do not shut off a system you cannot safely identify.
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.
If unexplained movement remains, ask the provider whether the next step is fixture isolation, service-line testing, or under-slab detection.

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.
