Pinhole Leak Copper Repipe in Washington Navy Yard, DC

One pinhole leak in copper is a repair. Three in a year is a pattern. The pipe is pitting from the inside, and the wall is getting thinner along its whole length, not only at the spots that already leaked.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Washington Navy Yard, DC homeowners with plumbers who repipe homes with pinhole leaks. Pitting corrosion usually ties back to the water itself: low pH, high chlorine or chloramine, or high flow velocity in undersized pipe. Green or blue stains on the outside of the pipe and tiny spray marks on drywall are the giveaways.

Most owners in this spot choose PEX for the repipe, because PEX does not corrode. If you prefer copper, a water test and a heavier Type L pipe help, and the cause should be dealt with first.

If your copper keeps springing pinholes, call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to talk through a pinhole leak copper repipe before the next one floods a ceiling.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Pinhole Leak Copper Repipe in Washington Navy Yard, DC.

Talk to a person
How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?
Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?
When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
How do I get a water line replacement quote in Washington Navy Yard, DC?
Call (866) 335-0301 and describe the pipe material, the length of the run and what you are seeing. A plumber can then look at the site and price the work.
