Break out plaster and concrete

[Stevecc]

Hello

I am uncovering the path of a pipe buried in plasters in a wall and concrete in a floor

The pipe is made of lead and transitions to copper

What is the best way to break out plaster and concrete without damaging the pipe

Thanks

No chance if the pipe has been concreted in.
Being as it’s lead i’d isolate it, go for gold on the concrete and replace the pipe anyway.

How about the plaster, how best to remove that without damaging the pipe

Light sds drill/chisel. Or hammer and chisel.
try breaking/loosening the plaster with a hammer first.
