- I know this is a bit off the wall, especially for a shop talk group, but I know there is a lot of knowledge out there, and hoped someone might have a solution. I am working on a base board hot water

- Is there any chance that you can just replace the pipe by routing through a wall and abandon the leaking piece in the slab? Sounds like an obvious fix you must've considered and rejected in the first

- Chances are the pipe was eaten away by the concrete. Old radiant heating used copper pipes buried in the slab. Concrete is a base (opposite of acid) and slowly eats at copper. Very interesting, the s
