Jack hammer through the slab to find leak

I have found where the slab is leaking. I have read the advice concerning how to find the leak and then to jack hammer the floor to expose the pipe. I know this sounds dumb but how do I jack hammer into the slab without accidently hitting the pipe?

You'll probably have to dig down to it after the cement's removed. Before you can solder in a repair ALL the water and moisture must be evacuated from the pipe to be repaired. Good luck, Tom
