Default Pipe leaking under your foundation??

Ouch! The detector nailed the leak within 4 inches in the middle of my kitchen floor. It was 18-24 inches under the pad. After removing tile, digging down, fixing the leak-all is well. Yes, it is a last option but well worth the money to keep in mind. Good Luck!
Pipe leaking under your foundation?? How old is your house?? Are all the homes designed this way?? Looking at the way the main shut off valve is piped in the garage wall and the water heater in the garage pipes come out the wall I thought mayne the water lines go through the walls / attic ?? Can anyone answer some of these questions?

I know the water lines are PVC??
