What about bypassing the line through walls above the slab?

How old is the house? Is it in socal? Normally its copper or gav. pipe around here. I can't speak for other parts of the country. Here's how I deal with that problem. copper or steel, that just means the pipes are getting near the end of its service life, so its time to re-pipe. I always try and run pipes up in the attics and never reconnect to old pipes in the slab again. This way, problem goes away for a long time until new pipes wears again many years later. Yes, run them through the wall or if you are not concern about looks, run copper outside and enter the attic from the outside. Easy to service in the future and don't have to tear up as many walls (ya still have to rip some areas of wall out to make connection to the faucets). Not the prettiest IMO, but its a rental.
