What causes a slab leak
A slab leak usually comes from a pipe that has corroded, worn at a joint or been stressed by movement in the soil under the slab. Copper lines can wear thin over time, and fittings can fail at a joint.
In desert soil that shifts with heat and dry spells, the pipe can be put under pressure it was not designed for. That is why the condition of the surrounding pipe matters as much as the break itself.
