You have several choices but none of them are perfect. One choice is to have a hole bored horizontally underneath the slab and then a vertical hole through the floor to join it.
A second choice is to have a concrete cutter saw a channel in your slab, lay the pipe, and then fill in concrete over it.
Another choice is to have the pipes come in through the wall above ground level rather than go through the slab.
The last choice is to go up. The pipes go up the outside wall and through the ceiling, dropping down from the attic into a wall. This can be a noisy option unless the pipes are properly secured and insulated.
Don't go cheap. Go with copper piping big enough that you won't regret it later. No half inch pipes! Stay with 3/4 or larger inside with one inch or larger mains.

How do you detect if it is a slab leak?
First, you need to determine if you have a leak anywhere in your home. Check to make sure that your faucets, toilets, showers, hoses, ice-makers etc are not using water. Once you have determined that nothing visible is leaking, look at the water meter. The leak Indicator is a small triangle or star on the face of the meter, and if it is moving, even slowly, you have a leak somewhere. If you turn of the shut-off valve (often near the ground in a closet or near the hot water heater) to close it, and the leak indicator stops, then the leak is on a supply line to a fixture in your home. The shut-off valve often appears to go nowhere. It comes out of the wall, an perhaps splits off prior to going straight back into the wall or slab floor. If the leak indicator does not stop when you close the shut-off valve, the leak is on the service line into your home, and may or may not be under your slab, but is definitely under the ground. Movement on the leak indicator usually means a good deal of water is leaking, and you should see water coming from a wall or perhaps out of the floor. If you have no visible water, and constant movement on the indicator, a slab leak is a good bet. A leak detection company can help you find it, and get it repaired.
