What causes pinhole leaks?
Pinhole leaks are usually caused by aging of your pipes. Over time, the minerals in the water start to corrode the copper. You may hear a constant drip somewhere over your head, or you'll feel a spray on your head when you're in your basement. A North Windham CT customer called us because she got sprayed when running a load of wash. She wrapped the pipe and put a bucket underneath to catch the water until we arrived to make the repair.Pinhole leaks can cause bigger issues
If you start to smell a musty odor, that could also point to pinholes leaks. Water will seep into your insulation and drywall which will turn into an even bigger mold issue. Replacing a section of piping is much less expensive than a mold remediation process. If you suspect pinhole leaks in your home, please call a licensed plumber ASAP. Numerous pinhole leaks throughout your home may indicate a need for a water treatment system.
