I assume it is a different temp from the surface.

Also russell, how do you know it is a leak from dis-coloration evidence when something could have been splilled and you are getting trace readings.?

If problem is that marble and water are the same temp,would not heating the marble surface help ?

improper testing procedures.

Is that temp or reflection problem?

I know Marble has a tendency to be cool.

If its holes in the slab,,,,I've heard of a procedure used in central TX on pin holes in copper piping in the slab. They close off all ends, blow a sandblast type material thru the lines to scour, then clean and blow a vinyl type product that will seal all holes. Fixed the problem without having to tear into walls or floors.
