    Are you asking how to fix water lines or pipes under a slab foundation?

  • Need more info please!


    Are the pipes under the slab? If so it all needs to be Jack hammered up, replace the lines then put back together. A long, dirty, messy project. Had to do this at an old house of mine, hot water lines leaked and they had to literally rip up a trench throughout the entire first floor of the house. Not cheap either.

    They can also re-route through walls and ceiling. I had a slab leak in the center of my kitchen which was a huge mess, lost all

    flooring, cabinets, and drywall to a level of 3 feet on every wall. They rerouted from the garage back to the kitchen using a high pressure plastic flexible pipe. It was about $2500 for roughly 25 feet. There was drywall repair, but I already had to replace drywall. Overall It was much cheaper than trenching the foundation.


    I did not have the quote new copper piping as I knew I was going to sell the property.
