Hi

I currently have a water leak in the house but not sure where it is. It could be under the floor or between the walls where the pipes are. The meter outside is continously spinning and only stops if I stop the hot water from the tank. So the leak is definitely with hot water pipe. How can I find the leak? Any suggestions?
 
if you have cisterns in your loft i'd check the ballvalves shut off fully
 
More info on your plumbing system would be useful.
Is the hot water coming from an unvented hot water cylinder ?
If water is constantly running when nothing is in use ,and you can't see any signs of water damage ,it's likely that there is pipework buried in concrete or within a void under ground flooring.
