Is it possible to run a gas line through an existing slab?

I currently have no gas run to the house. My range is on an island that’s about 7-8ft from an exterior wall. Is it possible to run a gas line from the outside of the house through the slab and up under the island? If it is possible, what’s something like that going to cost me?

Is your slab post-tensioned?

Sure. It’ll be costly though as you’ll have to bust up the slab to run the line.
More importantly, do you have a vent hood? Is it downdraft or free hanging over the island? You’ll also need a vent hood for the gas appliance. The ones I’ve seen in an island are downdraft, which are even bigger nightmares to install.

Have a free hanging hood over the island.
If I run the line under the slab, how does the plumbing enter the house, do they just drill a hole in the slab?

Not post-tensioned.

You don't need to go under the slab.
A plumber cut a channel in the slab and run the gas line that way. Of course, the flooring will have to be replaced.
Not sure of cost. But ask a plumber.

Has to be cut and removed to trench in the pipe and stub out. That's why asked if it was post-tensioned.
For getting through the perimeter beam you core drill through the side and sleeve.

Just had this done when renovating my kitchen. I rented a jackhammer and busted up the slab from under the sink to the island, then removed to the studs for running the line into the attic. Plumber ran the line under the slab then up into the attic, and cut and tied into the existing line. I backfilled and poured the concrete back. Cost me a little over $1000 for the plumber.

In addition to the plumber running the line under your slab, you may want to find out how much it's going to cost to get the gas line from the street to your house. I think the gas companies usually charge for this.
Also I did what pintail is basically describing for a washing machine drain line a couple years ago. Scored the concrete with a circular saw and a masonry blade and then jackhammered out with a 35# jackhammer. Used a core bit to go through the footing under the wall. Filled back with concrete.

I'm about to be in a similar spot, adding an island into existing kitchen. I'm moving a wall that will need to be supported to expand a kitchen. I'm incorporating 2 posts into the island. One will support a beam on the ceiling, the other will appear as though it's doing the same, however it will be hollow to allow for utilities to the island without the requirement to jackhammer my kitchen floor.
Too much text to say I don't have anything to add unless you could incorporate a hollow post to run it from the attic and negate the requirement for busting up your slab.

That's a damn good idea. I wasn't planning on incorporating a column on the island, but I'll consider whether that's a possibility. Would certainly be easier than messing with the slab work.

I thought so too. Wasn't my idea though. Was drinking beer with my electrician friend and discussing it when he advised I do it. He said he's on good terms right now with my wife and busting up half the kitchen may piss her off.
