He can use witching sticks to make sure there is a pipe there. I always use two wire flags, like they mark utilities with. Bend one end of each to a 45 to fit your hand and use as a handle. Works every time. Also can be used to find drain lines. Although when you find a drain line only the right stick crosses and the left stays straight. Don't know why. I'll sit back and get ridiculed now but it definitely works.

Had that happen to me and it was a damn busted hot water line. They cut the line running into the house and ran it through the attic and walls. 17k. Claimed it on insurance.
Same deal. House was only about 12 or 13 years old. Pipe broke in the slab under the kitchen table. It kept your feet warm at breakfast.
Cut and capped existing pipe and bypassed the damaged area through the attic.

Go look at the slab around the outside of the bathroom. If you see a perpetual wet spot or water running out between the slab and the brick (or whatever exterior surface), then you’ve got a leak.

It is the house AIDS. Burn it down before it infects the whole neighborhood.

Not much doubt that you have a busted hot water line there...your dad had better get it fixed pretty quickly, as it is running up energy bills as well as water bill.

Ours was about 30 years old at the time. My wife prefers older homes. She says they were built better (I agree somewhat) and loves the big front porches and all that shite. We have ceramic tile in the kitchen and you'd step in a certain area and it would be almost hot. It was noticeable

Well frick. Guess that bathroom remodel he was about to work on just got a whole lot bigger. Their house is early 1990s, I guess the foundation just slowly shifts over time? Do they not allow for that at all with the pvc? I guess you can't in concrete lol.

If they have homeowners it will cost their deductible. Not the end of the world. Mine cost 1k out of pocket

Was a moisture test performed?

This guy would like a word with you.

Same happened to me. Turns out the gas water heater in attic was overheating and pressure relief valve opened. Hot water was venting out side the house and running under the slab.

I discovered my leaking hot water line because there was a warm spot on the kitchen floor. Plumber said it was probably a pin hole in the copper line. I was able to abandon that line and run a new one without much trouble.
