New member to the forum, so I hope this isn't too late to throw in for thought. Our last house was built on a slab foundation. The copper piping under the slab was about 8 years old when it started leaking. My research concluded that concrete and copper tubing are not the best combination. Some kind of chemical reaction that corrodes away at the copper. Radiant floor advertisements that I've read use PEX tubing. Food for thought, maybe.
