I have a leak.
It's coming from what I believe is a drain/sewer line under the slab. This is a florida home, typical slab construction. When the tenant takes a shower, water is seeping up from a small crack in the foundation. It has a smell of sewage, so I've ruled out fresh water. Plus, it's only when the shower runs.
Could the crack in the drain line be the result of the slab settling?
Do I need to snake the line with a camera to locate the crack in the drain line? Or should I just go ahead with busting up the foundation and getting to the root of the problem.
Here are some pics.
