Since my problem has already been repaired, I really don't need an answer as much as I want to vent. You see, I recently had my vacation home repiped in PEX. While testing the plumbing under pressure, the contractor found that I had a pretty serious leak somewhere in my irrigation line. After hours of tracking down and isolating lines, he discovered that a 3/4" PVC tee fitting had cracked. This PVC fitting was 30" down, directly in the center of my backyard patio slab. To avoid a botch patch job, I authorized him to jack the entire concrete slab out, fix the problem correctly, and repour the concrete. He is adding french drainage and some other trick stuff, but he had to remove my firepit and I won't be replacing it.
OK, I've vented. Please never use PVC and bury it under a slab. That is just stupid! I will post pics when I take my next trip to Lake Havasu.
