The pipes go in and out of the slab unfortunately in several places.

The main line enters the house in the slab, goes along a hallway to the hot water heater and to the hub. If I'm understanding the plumber right, it goes back into the slab to get to the master bathroom which makes NO sense because it's accessible through the hub (i.e., pipe would be out of sight). From the master bath, the pipe goes back into the slab, runs through the living room to the outdoor faucet.

The plumber has been unable to find a leak in the part of the hub that is out of the slab do he feels it's in the slab. Crappy construction.
