Inaccessible leaking pipe

[Leslie Running]

My washing machine discharge goes to pipes that run through or under the concrete floor of the main level of the house. This pipe connects into the discharge pipes in the basement. Somewhere between the machine and the basement there is a leak. Do you have any suggestions other than breaking up the concrete pad of the family room?

Ask your local plumbing inspector if there is a contractor in your areaDISCLAIMERAll advice is given with-out seeing the job, and hence all advice MUST be taken as advice with limited knowledge on the exact situation. NO responsibility can or will be taken. And yes, I am a licensed plumber with my own business in Brisbane Australia
