Under Slab Pipe Leak Fix
Does anyone do pipe repair for under slab pipe leaks? Can someone PM me and we can discuss.
I know I have to tear up my slab to fix my pipe.
Thanks

What type of pipe? There are companies that can seal it in place.
Depending on the size of the pipe you my be able to slide a piece of PEX into the existing pipe.
I looked into this and had a camera down my pipe this weekend. It was in too bad of shape to do this.
Figured I ask someone here on the forum than ask someone I randomly found on the internet.
Reroute the water line. If its under the slab, it will be extremely expensive (and very messy) to fix.
I just did this, though I got lucky and the leak was in my front yard. Rerouted the line with PEX from the street meter to the garage, into the attic and attached it to our water softener that was already running in the attic.
Or is that not an option?
^^^ pretty much what he said. If you had it camera'ed it was a drain, correct? We had the kitchen sink drain collapse under the slab. It took me all of 40 minutes to cut the old stack and reroute it under the joists to the main stack.
No hubs are your friends.

BuffCyclist has the best idea so far if you can make it work. I once had to tunnel under my slab to find where the river was flowing from , not fun at all , but I couldn't tell where it was until I got there.
Good luck!
Abandon it if at all possible.
I have a 2" cast iron pipe the only way to fix it is to pretty much cut my slab. Its a drain line for the sink and pretty much all the water in draining under my slab. Luckily with the the pipe layout its not part of the main stack and not raw sewage leaking under my slab.
