The one problem you may have is keeping the torch running if the excavation is deep or small. Use a hair dryer set on cold and use it to circulate the burnt gases out of the pit and bring fresh air in;

: Have slab leak. Located small round hole in copper pipe. Removed 3-inch section. Have no flexibility in pipe. Using two 2-inch couplings to repair. Question . . . is 1/2 inch overlap of couplings on pipe enough?
