How can I detect and repair pin hole leaks in copper pipes?
To detect and repair pinhole leaks in copper pipes, you can use a few methods. One way is to visually inspect the pipes for any signs of corrosion or discoloration, which may indicate a leak. You can also use a pressure gauge to check for drops in water pressure, which could signal a leak. To repair the pinhole leak, you can use a pipe repair clamp or epoxy putty specifically designed for copper pipes. It's important to turn off the water supply before attempting any repairs.
