I feel your pain. My well pit sits outside with a cover over it and it feeds the house, a barn and a garage.
I had a leak in a pipe to an indoor (a barn) hydrant where the lines are buried under the slab. I put it right near an automatic waterer that sits on a separate slab before they poured the floor. Not near enough as it turned out. Luckily my concrete guy just ran the new pour up to the slab and left it separate. I had to remove the waterer, crack the separate slab in half to pull it out (did I mention it straddles a pen divider?), dig down then perhaps tunnel over to the hydrant. What I found however was the leak was unreachable from such a small hole, so I just replaced the T fitting from the main line with a straight connector and abandoned the hydrant. I did plumb a faucet to the side of the waterer so I still had a way to fill buckets when needed. Unfortunately it does freeze up when really cold but a heat gun makes quick work of it. This was all in the early spring when the ground water was high and it was a miserable job, so I wanted to get it done as quick as possible. I dread the day when a leak happens under another part of the slab.
