This is somewhat embarrassing, but I'm not sure where the main water
cutoff is for my house. I have slab foundation, so obviously not in the
basement where most guides tell you to look.

Other posters are correct there is a cutoff in the meter box.

On slab homes the main inside cutoff is usually near the water heater.
Follow the cold pipe backwards from the heater to the wall or floor that is
where it usually is. There is also a cutoff close to where the cold enters
the heater that shuts off only the hot water.
