My son-in-law first noticed that the floor was getting hot before realizing they had a leak. The spot under this tile was the hottest. This problem has been happening for a while. They've put off fixing it because of the cost. They were shutting the hot water tank off when they weren't using it.
I'm shocked and blessed that it was all confined to this one point.
I got worried when I saw the missing vapor barrier. First thought that was the reason it was the warmest here and the leak could have been somewhere else, but as soon I started digging you could see the water leaking.
I'm wondering if the gap in the vapor barrier allowed concrete to damage the copper pipe over time.
