Pinhole Leaks
Pinhole leaks on copper water lines appear in all areas served by AA County Public water. JP Plumbing has been making repairs in Severna Park, Arnold, Annapolis, Gambrills and Crofton for several years. The spot appears as a green stain about ¼ “ in diameter on the first 20’ of copper hot water pipe after the water heater. JP Plumbing has not had any green dots pinhole leaks on customers copper pipes with water supplied by Annapolis City. Our plumbers have been replacing small sections with Type L copper, and in cases, where large sections appear, the plumber might recommend installing cpvc plastic. I recommend that the homeowner look for any stains after the water heater. If the stains are present call us at JP Plumbing 410-757-8157 to schedule a service call or visit the web site @ jpplumbinginc.net
