[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3749436, member: 27284"] I've had 2 slab leaks. The first one was about 6 years ago. They brought in a guy with a electronic gizmo listening device. That cost $285.00 for that. Plumber started jack hammering up the floor, didn't find the leak. Kept jackhammering and finally found it 6 feet from where the guy said it was. WRONG! The guy said it was in my 1/2 bath, so that got all tore up. It wasn't. Plumber kept jack hammering and finally found it in the adjoining room about 6 feet away. What a cluster **** mess. They cut out the bad section of copper line and fixed the job. It was a mucking fess. The other was about 4 months ago. I had a different plumber come in, he ended up saying it'd be best to run a special pex from the water heater to some manifold thing across the house through the attic. I was very concerned about the PEX leaking in the attic and making a totally bad situation. Apparently some PEX is crap and some is really good, according to the plumber, the good stuff is much longer lasting and it will swell up when frozen but will not burst. IF you need a plumber in OKC, let me know and I will refer you. [/QUOTE]
