Florida condo, unenclosed liquid line buried under slab under three units. Not practical to re-route up/around. I'm going to go with a hail mary stop leak solution fix rather than attempt to pull new line.

Anyone have experience with the stop leak fix or pulling un-enclosed line that far?

hi 40 flier, I have never seen an underground fridge piping < only when it was inside a plastic liner ,
you could try some duct tape around the pipe, but why not do it properly?

If it is underground contact a company who has a ground boring machine, to put a plastic pipe underground that you can use to put the pipe in. This drills a hole and pulls the sleeve through without digging a trench, and is often used here under roads and culverts to not have to dig up a busy road and lay a pipe. Generally it pulls though a 5 inch diameter pipe.
