In 2012 the CYV next door to our villa was less than a year old and when the snowbirds returned for the winter there was water through the master BR and bath. They called the warranty department and they immediately came and said the pipes under the slab had a leak. Initially they wanted to come in through my yard, but eventually decided to jackhammer into the slab floor directly below the master bath.
The workers removed the bathroom vanity, toilet and carpeting, vinyl flooring and then jackhammered into the slab, dug out the dirt and found the leak and repaired the pipe. Filled the dirt back in, removed the drywall up about 3', ran high speed fans and heaters for about 3 days until all the moisture was gone. Then brought in new construction workers who replaced everything like it was a new bedroom and bath. I think the bathtub was the only thing they didn't change. No cost to the homeowners. It took about 3 weeks for the whole repair.
