hot water pipe under the cement leaking - DIY Chatroom

befuuddled · 05-15-2009, 02:30 PM

Is there anyway to fix this leak without digging up the cement? Could I possibly go through the ceiling and back over to the connection that comes out of the wall where the pipes come out under the sink? I know I have a hot water leak because I can feel a hotspot on the tile and there is no other explaination for it. The water meter is also moving indicating a slow leak and the water bill has been higher than usual. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Take the shortest route.. The longer the route. The longet it will take for hot water to get there

If your ceiling is below an attic you will take a chance of the pipes freezing depending on where you live. Also are you sure that that is the only thing on that line?

http://CURAFLO.COM Hello

My company is Central/Northern Ca Pipe Lining Inc.

We coat the inside of "potable" water pipes, i.e. galvenized, copper or steel, with NSF 61 Certified epoxy. It is made to last 50 years and will not rust, corrode or peel. After it is applied, water may be returned to service after five (5) hours. It will fix PINHOLE leaks.

We coat the entire structure i.e. homes, condominiums, hotels, motels, hospitals etc, as once the leaks start, they will continue throughout the entire structure.

It is usually 20-30% cheaper than repiping and we give a 10 year warranty on parts and labor.

If I may be of help, please call:
