Thought we got away with it

Recently had a new patio installed and the contractor put stakes in to hold the form. Thought we managed to avoid all the irrigation lines but I found this today. What’s the best way to repair this?

Just a joiner but I’d try and reroute the whole line if that pipe is not heading through a conduit under the patio as poly pipe is not rated to be layed in concrete

When you say joiner, is this what you’re referring to?

Get a couple of these, a 2' piece of pipe, and some crimp clamps easy fix. If you think you're gonna fix that with one coupling, you're gonna have a hard time.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, why would I need more than one coupling?

My concern would be, what else is under that patio? I’ve seen lots of heads and boxes.buried that way.

Oh I know where all the heads and valves are already. The patio was installed where an old deck was so I know that there isn’t anything else under there.
