Have slab leak. Am laying out repiping plan.

Is there a standard method for crossing electrical in the attic? In a wall?

Can I run the pipes on the ceiling joists? Or do they need to be hung/attached some distance above them?

Thanks

If your repiping in copper then insulate the pipe from the electrical lines, if using PVC and CPVC then its not necessary, just run the pipes under the wires and not on top.

You may lay the pipes on the ceiling joists just use pipe straps to secure them. Good luck, Tom
