How to monitor for leaks in a crawl space?
Why would you think you would have little leaks? Are you doing the repairs and you don't trust yourself? If you inspect your work after it is completed, look it over real good with the water on...use a flashlight and a mirror and wipe it with a dry rag or paper towel....if it is dry there is no need to keep inspecting it.....but if it makes you feel better you can put a gauge on the hose bib and turn the water on (note the pressure) and shut it off at the main and wait 5 or 10 minutes...if the pressure drops there is a leak somewhere (or someone flushed a toilet) If the pressure increases the water heater kicked on so you might want to turn it down before the test.
