Pinhole Pipe Leak
A pinhole pipe leak is a minuscule leak in a copper pipe, small enough to be comparable to the size of a pinhole. These leaks can appear anywhere in your home’s plumbing system and might manifest as solitary leaks, in groups, or spread along a section of piping.
Causes of Pinhole Leaks
Several factors can lead to the development of pinhole leaks in copper pipes, and often, it’s a combination of issues that result in these leaks.
Slab Leaks
A slab leak is a type of plumbing leak that happens beneath the concrete foundation of a house. While some slab leaks begin as pinhole leaks in copper plumbing, not all pinhole leaks escalate to slab leaks, and vice versa. A slab leak might also stem from a pipe that’s either cracked or entirely broken.
Causes of Slab Leaks
Slab leaks can arise from a variety of issues, which might include:
Remediation for Slab Leaks
In cases where a slab leak is detected, the solution often involves rerouting the plumbing. New pipes are installed through the ceilings, attics, and walls of the home, effectively avoiding the need to deal with leaks under the slab in the future. This approach ensures homeowners can have peace of mind without worrying about future slab leaks.
Several factors contribute to the degradation of water quality in residential plumbing systems, making repiping a consideration for homeowners:
The presence of discolored water and diminished quality can have several adverse effects:
Repiping involves replacing old, problematic pipes with new ones made from safer, more durable materials like PEX or copper. This process directly addresses the root cause of discolored water and improves overall water quality.

S.S
Richard was responsive every step of the way. His workers are specialists in what they do–re-piping and the subsequent patchwork. They show up when promised. Richard honored his quoted price when it turned out that my house needed more time to complete than originally envisioned. And because repiping is all they do, their pricing is much more competitive than your average local plumber’s price. Because I was referred to Henrik by my sister, Richard threw in a free shower faucet set for me. I now have a 50-year copper re-pipe warranty and know I will never have to worry about leaks or burst pipes again. Highly recommend!
The team showed on time they were very professional and did a wonderful job, if I could give them ten stars I would!!!!! I am satisfied with the quality,timing & price. thanks a lot
