How do you Drill under a slab of concrete?
If you mean drill horizontally through the dirt,, I'm no engineer but fitting a length of pipe with a water tap then extend the pipe as the water washes away the dirt from the working end under the slab and flushes out the sediment seems like it would work.
What causes concrect slab leaks?
Slab leaks often occur on cold rolled copper lines that are most common under slabs. This line is flexible and allows for the lines to be run beneath the slab without using soldered joints. This line can be crimped or bent at too much of and angle, and the slab leak can occur at the crimp. A poorly soldered joint can cause a leak. Settling can cause the pipe to move and begin to leak. Freezing and thawing can cause the pipe to expand, contract, and begin to leak. Rubbing against anything can cause the pipe to leak. he pipe should not rest up against any type of metal different than the pipe itself. Poor grounding can cause leaks. There are a number of causes, and of course, the catch-all; It can just happen for no readily discernible reason.
