One pinhole is rarely one pinhole
A pinhole leak means the copper is corroding from the inside, and that process is happening along the whole run, not just at the one spot you found. Chasing them one at a time gets expensive fast. We inspect the system, explain what is driving the corrosion, and tell you honestly whether spot repairs or a repipe is the smart move.
What pinhole leaks look like
Tiny drips or stains
A small wet spot or green and white crust on a copper line.
Water stains on ceilings
A spreading ring where a pinhole drips above.
They keep coming back
You fix one and another appears nearby.
Older copper
Decades of hard water and pressure thin the pipe walls.
Low spots that stay damp
Moisture that never quite dries near copper runs.
Higher water bill
Several small leaks add up to real water loss.
Pinhole leak questions
Can you just fix the one leak?
We can, but pinholes signal system-wide corrosion. We will tell you honestly whether a spot fix or a repipe saves you money over the next few years.
Why does copper get pinholes?
Water chemistry, high pressure, and age slowly corrode copper from the inside until it perforates.
What do you replace it with?
Usually PEX, which does not corrode the way copper does, though copper is available if you prefer it.
