Is there a sealant for water line leaks under the slab of a home that can be pressurized to spread throughout the water lines and seal pin hole leaks?

It is a good technology that has been around for 25 years. It allows pipe repair without breaking concrete, but is a fairly expensive technology.

How do you connect ceramic pipe to plastic pipe?
Special epoxy, the ceramic place would have itWith a no hub coupling or Mission coupling, the problem with "epoxy" is it becomes brittle and can crack and it does NOT have the same coefficient of expansion per degree change as either plastic or ceramic and the surfaces for epoxy to work properly have to be clean and prepared..Few if any codes say "use epoxy" If the ceramic piping has a hub one can use cast iron pipe installed into the cermamic hub pour a joint and then use an adapter fitting to plastic
