There is a break in the waterline going in to my house. It's under a concrete slab next to the house. I cut a square hole in the slab and dug that dirt out. The leak is a little farther under the slab.
I've got metal lines from the 70's. Not copper of PVC.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to fix it once I get to it. The pipe has rust on the surface. Suggestions?
Also contemplated whether I should replace the line from the meter to the foundation with PVC since I've unearthed a bunch of it, but I don't know how I'd connect it to the old pipe.
Also, the house has a crawspace but I can't really get to the waterline that's under the house.
