Under-Slab Well Supply Repair

[MichaelBukay]

I have a 3/4" soft copper supply line (from a well pump to the pressure tank) under a slab that needs to be repaired. What do the well guys do? Silver solder, brazing, compression fittings? It will be covered with concrete when repaired. It can be repaired using 2 couplings. I have brazed copper water lines before if they were going to be under a slab. Thanks in advance for any info.

Under concrete the inspectors like to see it brazed.
Frankly, the lead free stuff I solder with is pretty darn good though.
It's impossible to pull the joints apart.

Thank you Terry. I always braze fitting under slabs. I was just checking to see if there was some other way the well guys would rig it up. My intuition, and your advice, have brought me to the same conclusion. Thanks again!
