After checking they found the leak was in the slab below the master bath. They called the TV warranty department and was told everything was covered within two years, and it had only been 14 months. Within a week they had several crews come in and rip out the wet carpet and flooring, the damaged dry wall and cabinets and jack hammered into the slab and fixed the leak. They brought in giant blowers and now have the home now back to original condition at no cost to the owner.
WOW! One of the major problems of building a house on the slab, (and they all are except the manufactured homes) if you have a problem with plumbing in the concrete you are talking major dollars that is not covered by insurance. I guess we just hope and pray that the plumbing outlives us. Anybody know how long the pipes in the concrete are likely to last?
