A few weeks ago I noticed the floor in the bathroom was warm. I thought it odd and told Dan I thought we had another slab leak. We soon noticed the floor in the entry way become warm as well. Then we started to hear the sound of a leak through the pipes in the kitchen. Instead of jackhammering up the floor to fix the broken pipe, we choose to re-run the pipes from the new bathroom to the other pipes instead. Since this is the second time we have had a pipe in the slab break, it just doesn’t make sense to fix it in the slab. By re-running the pipes, we take care of the problem once and for all.
Here is where the pipes were capped off in the living room.
Here is where we added the new pipe. It is in the wall in the stairwell.
Here’s after the new pipe was added:
Since the floor is no longer warm and we do not hear leaking sounds in the pipes in the kitchen anymore, this leak problem seems to be solved.
