Hi,
I don't know if this is the right part of the forum, but I'll give it a try.
I have craftspeople working on a bathroom renovation, they have good references and seem knowledgeable.
Yesterday I noticed they accidentally nicked one of the tubes for the hydronic floor heating when they were chiseling around the floor drain. The tube is cast a bit down into the slab. Luckily, it hasn't gone all the way through to cause a leak. However, there is a slight nick in the plastic.
I'll of course check with the guys tomorrow to see if they’ve noticed this and how it can be fixed. My immediate thought is it seems wise to do some form of reinforcement and not to just recast the floor and hope it doesn't leak over the years.
But I thought it would be good to check for input here too. Particularly whether it's actually possible to reinforce in a reasonable way, and if so, how.
