slab home, not on foundation
I'm looking at a house tomorrow thats on a slab, not a foundation.
i read that this can potentially be a problem if the plumbing is under the slab.
how big of a disadvantage is it to buy a slab house?
has anyone here had problems with one?
thanks!

yes, if there is a pipe burst or even crack, you have to break up the slab to repair it and refill it after. but, this is the least of your worries if that happens. The flood damage will be more expensive to fix than the pipe.
