I have a leak in one of my sprinkler lines. It's under a 25'x45' slab that I don't really want to cut into. I know it's leaking because when the the line is active, after about 3 minutes, water comes bubbling up through the seam between the slab and the sidewalk. The guy who did the slab cheaped out and used the thinnest PVC; I think it just happened to be whatever was laying around.
I've had the circuit turned off for some time now, as I didn't really care about what was getting watered on the other side; now I do.
I need to get water to the other side now, and don't want to perpetuate the leak. I've been trying to research my options.
* I think this is too far of a span to try to use one of those garden hose hydraulic blasters.
* Perhaps run a smaller diameter of PEX through the existing, and simply live with the lower pressure and flow
* hire a professional company to pull a new line or plenum
* is there a way to reach in there and install a plug of some sort?
I'm open to ideas. The placement of the submerged 'tee' is approximate; it's somewhere under the slab. I suspect (hope!) it's a straight shot through the tee on the left side.
