copper pipe leaks
Greetings,
I purchased some 40 ft of Type-K copper for replacing water mains on several of my houses. I have replaced the first main and THE PIPE LEAKS. I am not saying that the fittings leak. The pipe itself has a couple pin-holes along the seam. Whipe the pipe clean, come back in 3 minutes, and there will be a couple beads of water standing along the seam. This is NOT condensation. Has this ever happened to anyone else here before? Is this somehow considered "normal"? Do I need to worry about the small leaks or should I just go on with my life and hope they self-seal? Please advise. Thank you for your time and energy, William |
