    Yep! That's how it's done. (see image).
    All our buildings are built on slabs in my area. The plumbing will first go into a trench and be covered by dirt, then plastic sheeting, wire mesh amd then the heating coils. The pipes that do raise through the slab are insulated wiith Armoflex, (see image) Rest easy, your concerns have no basis in fact. Good luck, Tom

Plumbing under slab [ 8 Answers ]

I am putting in an earth contact home. I have picked out all the sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, etc. I am confident with the measurements, because I made the floor plans. But I am concerned about problems in the future. Should I put every thing in a sleeve so it can be easily pulled out later...
