Currently renovating a house on slab, which is uncommon in my area. Copper tube plumbing in the slab. It looks like we may have a leak in the hot water tubing, but my plumber is still testing.
1. Does copper in a concrete slab deteriorate with time? Does the concrete cause it to corrode? Is there an "expected life span" for copper tubing in concrete? Any studies done on this?
2. If we find that we have a fault/leak in the slab, is there any specialized tester or procedure to locate it?
