Hello,


had a house that started on and I was fixing pinholes for years. finally
tore out the copper and replaced it w cpvc. �should have done that from
the beginning and saved a lot of aggravation. �once they started they kept
on springing leaks all over that dam copper. �we was on a well.


One leak is not bad, but I had the same thing hapen to a 35 year old house I
had. �After about 3 leaks and then spending a lot of time under the house
trying to get the leaks stopped (fix one, another place would start) I had
it replaced with the Pex (or whatever) plastic pipe.


The OP shouldnt panic, a single leak in 35 years is nothing to get
upset about, perhaps a previous owner hung a picture there and
happened to damage the line.

now if more leaks occur then its ime for PEX.
