A pinhole leak soaked your wall. We'll repair the pipe and tell you if more are coming.
Pinhole leaks in copper start small and stay hidden. We repair the section, then look at the condition of the surrounding pipe so you know whether this was a one-off or the first of several.

Why copper pinholes here
- 01Aggressive hard waterMineral-heavy water erodes copper from inside, thinning walls until pressure finds the weak point.
- 02High water pressureAbove about 80 psi the whole system is stressed. Thin spots fail sooner and more often.
- 03Flux and installation ageResidual flux at joints from decades-old installs corrodes locally, which is why leaks cluster near fittings.
We diagnose first, then you choose
A single pinhole in otherwise healthy copper is a straightforward repair. When we find several thin spots, or you've already had leaks in other rooms, chasing them one at a time costs more over five years than repiping — and each one comes with drywall damage.
Section repair
Best for a first leak with sound surrounding pipe. Cut out the bad piece, new copper in, tested.
Repipe
Best after multiple leaks, or when the copper is thin throughout. Ends the cycle with a warranty.

- 01
Shut off and call
Kill the main if it's actively leaking. Tell us where you're seeing water or hearing it.
- 02
Locate and quote
We trace the leak to the section, open the smallest access that works, and price the repair in writing.
- 03
Replace the section
Bad pipe cut out, new copper installed, and we look at the adjacent pipe while it's exposed.
- 04
Pressure test and report
System tested, area left dry, and you get a straight assessment of the rest of the piping.
You'll see the number before we start
Repairs are quoted in writing before we open anything. What moves the price:
- Where the leak is — accessible in a garage or attic versus inside a finished wall.
- How much pipe has to be replaced once we can see it.
- Drywall access and the patching included in the scope.
- Whether a pressure regulator is needed to stop it recurring.
“They found the pinhole quickly, repaired it, and told me the rest of the copper looked fine rather than pushing a repipe.”
Questions we get on the phone
Mostly our water chemistry combined with high pressure — the pipe thins from the inside until pressure breaks through. Leaks near soldered joints often trace back to flux left at installation decades ago.
