To access a broken or corroded drain line beneath your house, you may have to go down through your floor. If your house is built on a slab foundation this can be a lot of work. I've laid out this process here with a few tips to make it easier. Enjoy!

WOW Great Job!!!
That was painful to watch. I've been there before, but a $40 concrete saw rental with a $60 jackhammer could have done that job in about 20 mins. But when making doing with what you have on a budget, your approach is sound.
Where can I rent tools for this cheap? Rented them both today for twice that much.
@@ChipperMcGee1 thinking the same thing both are 100 each for 4hrs here lol
I have a post tension slab. In the middle where the garage door touches down it warns "post tension slab do not drill or cut"
I personally would not mess with a post tension slab.
I need to break a square of concrete, then put new. Shouldn't be too hard hopefully
Hey what brand is your Jack hammer
First job in construction after working 12 years in fast food suppose to be carpentry my life was destroyed employer had me drilling in concrete and blowing out the holes with no protection and now I worry I will die with no hope no treatments no cure.
silica dust?
using hammer drill in combo with jack hammer is very good idea. Also switching between tools helps to cool and prolong the life of super cheap jack hammer and super cheap SDS hammer drill that I got.
I'm gonna try this out on my wheelbarrow tire.
tennis shoes 👟 and shorts what 😳
Brother, why didn’t you just get the bit attachment for the big hammer drill your using to jack hammer? It’s way more of a beast than the dewalt with a hammer setting…
I need to take my iron pills because this is mouthwatering
Get a saw or a blade on a grinder and make a bunch of score lines as deep as possible
is there any risk to the foundation of the entire house?
not really, you'd have to remove a lot of concrete to risk damage. The concrete gets put back later anyway. Think of it like your walls. Lots of 2x4's you could remove a bunch before the structure was at risk.
The foundation is just an after pour and it doesn’t add to structural strength of the structure. The concrete belts along the walls under the concrete are the ones that add structural strength which shouldn’t be touched
I hope you are kidding.
My house has a 6" slab, going slow!
