New home construction installed pex loops through garage floor and basement floor pressure tested both zones before concrete was poured held fine. after concrete was poured will not hold pressure. Thinking it could be due to my manifold I made with pex fittings and such, my queston is, is there more pressure on pipe now that is in concrete that it would hold before the pour and now it wont, I find it hard to beleive they could have damaged pipe. Thanks for any input. Jared

No fittings in the concrete I hope, if not then I can't believe the pipe itself is damaged, not by accident anyway.

Make up a soap and water solution in a spray bottle. Hook up your compressor to the system and spray that solution on all of your exposed pex manifold, connections, pipe that you can etc while pressurizing it. It will bubble readily when you find the leak.
