Hello, I have a possible slab leak because my bathroom shower floor gets hot and there has been water leaking from the baseboards of the walls. I cut the wall on the other side of the bathroom where a sink used to be and I found three lines coming from the ground for the hot line. When I turn on the boiler, the middle pipe vibrates while the other two are steady. I am guessing that this middle line needs to be repiped... Any advice?? Thank you very much! -Edmund
RESOLVED: I discovered that the middle pipe was leaking where it met the slab, so I cut it, put a stop, and voila! No leak Thank you for all the help everyone!!

Until you have a "leak locator" find WHERE it is leaking, there is no way to advise you.

Once you have hot floors, it is time to repipe and run the pipes in the attic. Hopefully you have an attic.
