    Mojo and others,
    We had a pressure test done and we have a hole in the line under the concrete decking. We hope to cut a square, dig down and repair the line. The pressure test company drilled a few holes in the decking to pin point the area to lessen the amount of deck that needs to be broken up. We shall see.

    I'm curious to how much that pressure test cost you, and how long it took them. Looks like i'm heading down the same route.

    We finally have the problem solved. It was a 4" split in the line. The pressure test was about $180. We had another bid that was $250. They did a great job testing for and repairing the leak. During the pressure test they drilled a few holes in the deck to pinpoint the leak so less of the deck needed to be cut. They ended up cutting a 12" x 20" hole. Filter and suction are perfect and the deck doesn't look horrible. About $450 for the whole job including the pressure test. Hope this is helpful.
