Slab leak repair 

We just went through this. Don't let anyone bust a hole in your slab when you can just simply abandon and re route the line.

Thank you for posting this. Your video saved my sanity. I appreciate your time and effort.

Thank God this wasn't a post tension slab 🤗

You’re a beast for that one! Talk about a diy project!

Thank you so much for the video, it is very helpful, today I woke up with the same situation.

Could of used the Aquapea save digging the floor up👍

Good video.

Excelente, como localizaste el leak?

Fortunately most of my pipes were rerouted through my attic, everything in the floor was abandoned, if you have one that's leaking you'll have another, you're better off rerouting through attic space.. this does not seem like a feasible plan, also anytime you do tile work, it's always good to leave a few extras somewhere on the property, for roofing tile they usually stack them underneath the house...

Damn! GJ! Forgot the part " do not attempt this" lol

On the next video I will replace the tile just have to look for the matching tile.

Good video. Don't you have to braze the soldering since it's going to be under slab ? What kind of soldering did u use.? Thank you !

Thanks for this. I definitely have a slab leak in my backyard concrete. I have a good idea exactly where it is because I had a pinhole repair in that area a few years ago and water is seeping up through the concrete cracks. I'm thinking the whole 30' run of lateral copper pipe should be replaced, not just a spot repair. Can a new pipe be run without removing 30' of concrete? Or how about running pex underground? Or running pex through the inside of the existing copper pipe (which I saw someone on youtube do).

Just reroute the line already! You do ALL that work put the cement back then get a pin hole 10' over from where you made the repair. It just makes more sense for all parties involved to reroute with pex =)

How you know if drain or supply line has minor leak behind or inside concrete wall behind kitchen .?

Mine is a cold water line this is legit the prresure from walking on it won’t bend the pipe ?

Line cannot be soldered underground. Must be brazed if using copper couplings

Nice job. How old was this house?

Hope u have time to reply pls. Before u did all.the digging did u check ur water meter to see if the dot was spinning?..

most places you are not allowed to sweat pipe under ground

map gas works better and faster, in the yellow can

I might have to do the same thing. Was it expensive to do?

No pipe wrap?! Pipe wrap is required where I am.
