Surprise! Slab Leak

Bah Humbug!

So we have a late Christmas present in the form of a hot water slab leak, in the kids bathroom. No water in the house thankfully, but we can hear it running, the hot water comes out of the faucet immediately instead of having to wait for it and there are several tiles that are warm to the touch. Oh well, that is $1500 that we didn't need anyway, plumer is already here.

Went through my foundation 4 times last year, I feel your pain. I just installed pen instead of dealing with the hot water leak.

MY son woke up this morning and his toilet puked and flooded over into the bedrooms and a foot into the living room.
They had a plumbing company out 2 times and nothing in the lines so something down stream of their lines if backing up and they get other peoples poo puked out into their floors.

I think time to call the city.
I bet he would rather have a slab water leak.

There is things I like about living in the country!

No damage yet as far as we can tell, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way.

Keep in mind, if they go overhead, that might be the first place that freezes. insulate well and let er drip.

I wonder how much more expensive it is to do a conventional floor vs slab on new construction these days. I see some big benefits to having access to everything.

Anyone know a good leak detection service/plumber in the Tulsa area?

I knew a guy that told me he had. similar problem and replumbed the house himself. It seems he ran pipe to the exterior wall and it entered the home where the sinks were, bath etc. I said what are you going to do when it freezes? He said it never freezes in Del Rio. But it does fall below freezing there.
