Poured a 2,000 sq. ft. radiant floor, with pressure on the tubing and it has worked fine for 4 winters. Gambled last winter, pouring a 44'X40' garage floor, with no pressure. The tubing is on 2" of foam, covered with 2" of sand and 5" of concrete. One of 4 loops must've been completely severed, since air goes in, but none makes the loop. I heat the building with an uninsulated outdoor woodboiler inside the building and have plenty of heat, but has anyone heard of a way to pinpoint the break, so I can saw through the concrete and splice the dead loop?
Thanks, Dick
