re: Pipe leak in foundation

all houses settle over time so its normal, but cracking isnt normal and if you have a busted line its 95% from a slab cracking on you

I don't think its 95%, but that's a main cause. For a 4 year old house you are likely right. But pinhole leaks form from minerals in the pipes, rubbing on something, etc.

My parents had their entire house replumbed with pex but it was built early 90s and they had a pinhole leak in the undergound copper at a T. A plumbing company charged $400 per fixture to replumb from the attic with PEX and they had 5 plumbers show up about 4pm and were 95% done by 10pm one night. A guy came over the following morning to knock some other stuff out.
