besides bakbakin yun wall anu kaya maganda gawin?? yung less damage sa wall.
Re: Leak in Wall due to Water line
Bro, I don't see any other way to fix those leaks on your pipelines where ever it is but to break those wall surfaces where the pipes are embedded inside, how will you find out exactly what's causing those leaks if you won't be able to check or examine the connections. Probably some pipe connections doesn't have enough pvc solvents or threads lacking in teflon tapes.
Or would you rather do some new re connections now where the pipes will be outside of your concrete walls and then just leave the old ones inside the concrete. Wala ka nga namang babak bakin na wall surface.
I would rather think of a solution on how to stop that water leak and spot exactly where that pipe is leaking, then start breaking that portion of concrete surface. Once probably the pipe have been exposed and made an assessment, kung mahina lang ang leak, I'll just apply "Waterstop" on all joints kung hinde pwedeng mapalitan ang pipe coupling/s.
Hope I am making some sense here ! :rolleyes:

Re: Leak in Wall due to Water line
I had the same problem years ago, I just laid out new pipe outside the concrete, less headache in the long run knowing I do not know the quality of the pipe laid under the concrete.

maintenance would be easy rin kasi accessible yung pipe line yun nga lang pangit tingnan kasi nakalabas, pero if you can find a way to hide it the better
Re: Leak in Wall due to Water line
rpga4433, you didn't mention the type of pipes were used in your house plumbing. If it's PVC then obviously, a PVC threaded fitting was used to connect the angle valve to the PVC pipe. If by "nakabon sa wall" you mean the angle valve is embedded in the wall, then chipping the wall where the angle valve is located will be required to replace it.
However, if your existing plumbing pipes are GI pipes, then it is a big problem. You might want to consider quarxdmz's and seymore butts' suggestion of just laying new exposed pipelines.
