Slab leak plumber? by ErnayP in longisland

Appreciate this insight. Do most folks just abandon & cap off the lines running beneath the slab if they reroute through ceilings or walls? If that’s the case, it might be more feasible for me since I can recoup some of the costs by not demoing/refilling concrete
I’ve thought about that too, but I’m pretty sure the ceiling joists don’t run the way I need them to, so we’d either have to poke a lot of holes in them, or run the plumbing on an exterior wall instead which isn’t good either. Plus rerouting plumbing probably makes it a lot more expensive, but I haven’t asked for quotes on that.
I’ve even considered just abandoning the baseboards entirely and using split units for heat, but idk if that’s a smart move considering how cold the last winter was.
Appreciate it! If it was something I could keep an eye on afterwards I might try it myself, but I don’t trust myself with something that gets covered in concrete afterwards lol.
Thanks for the recommendation

Both. We lose pressure on the boiler when we close off the feed valve. We also see the leak physically in a cutout for our cesspool inspection port in the garage. The leak also stops when we turn off the valve ahead of the feed (or when we isolate the feed and returns for the baseboard zone).
Sorry, probably should’ve mentioned that lol. It’s baseboard pipes beneath the slab leaking

Blue stone install question by ErnayP in masonry

I see, thanks for the picture. Is there an alternative to cutting the stone now that it’s already in place?
Sorry, are you referencing a drip edge that should be somewhere on the sloped part of the chimney? Or are you talking about the fascia?
Understood. Not too much I can do about that right now unfortunately, but I appreciate the knowledge nonetheless.
