Worth knowing
Tunnel under, or reroute?
Once a slab leak is located, there are two common ways to fix it. Neither is always right. It depends on where the leak is and how the house is piped.
Tunneling
Dig under the slab to reach the pipe
Where it wins
- Leaves floors, tile and cabinets inside untouched
- Repairs or replaces the line where it already runs
- Works well for drain lines that cannot be rerouted
- Keeps the original layout and slope of the system
What to know
- Takes longer and costs more than a short reroute
- Needs room outside to dig and set soil
- Backfill has to be compacted properly to protect the foundation
- Weather can slow the work
Reroute
Abandon the old line, run a new one
Where it wins
- Often faster and less costly for supply lines
- New pipe runs through walls or attic, out of the slab
- Easier to reach for any future repair
- Avoids digging under the foundation
What to know
- Usually not an option for drain lines, which need slope
- Means opening some drywall, which then needs patching
- Attic runs need proper insulation in our heat and freezes
- The old line stays in the slab, abandoned
