    Hi Bj...

    Where is the leak.. How do you know it is leaking? What makes you think you need to do any more than just repair the leak at the area where the pipe is faulty?

    There are alternatives available such as replacing a small section of pipe, or you could hire a company to RELINE the pipes underground if needed. You may need to videotape the drain line before continuing here... just so you know what you're up against...

    Let us know more here... O.K.?

    You're going to hafta get more specific then that. Is this a drainage leak or a pressure leak?
    In any case you come to the right guy. I live in the Gulf Coast Area where all our houses are on slabs. Answer the above questions I'll also need to know where you live and how cold it gets. Regards, Tom

    Maybe the leaking pipe may be bypassed. That would create least damage. But you have to answer to the previous questions first...

    But the best way to start is to locate the leak...
