Would it make sense to replace/abandon it by running a new pipe up through the attic? Assuming the under-slab pipe runs halfway the length of the house, and the attic is presently only for electrical wiring and unrolled insulation, with no floor.Is it a common job, thousands of plumbers have done? Or is it only done for nut cases like me?

The easiest way is to insulate it before the concrete is pouredToo late for that nowYou could cut the concrete and insulate the pipe, but the return is nowhere near worth the money and effort involvedI wouldn't bother with running a new length unless you're having a frequent problem with that under-slab pipe freezing, or it's a hot water pipe and it just loses THAT MUCH heat on its way from here to thereIf that's the case, then whatever you do, insulate the bejeebers out of itAdd a couple of layers.
