As soon as you have detected a pinhole leak in your copper pipe, and it is above the slab it is not that tough to repair.

Isolate the leak, and turn the water off to the house, either at the valve where it comes in or at the water meter by the street.If you turn it off at the home then open the hose bib that is typically situated just above the water shut off. This will releive any pressure from the internal pipes, and the leak must quit dripping. Business Energy Brokers UK Utility Brokers Business Gas Brokers and Electricity Bro business energy.

The next thing you require is to get the parts to stop the leak. If it is a pinhole leak all you need is a small piece of soft rubber, and a pipe clamp. Try to find a clamp that is close to the size of the pipe. You can generally come across these at the local hardware or auto parts shop. Make sure the rubber is soft so it will close the leak when you tighten the clamp.

Do NOT over tighten the clamp or you may crush the pipe and have a bigger leak. Think me I have done this. Place the rubber more than the hole and secure the clamp. When you assume you have it tight enough turn the water back on and check the leak. If it has stopped dripping then you are carried out and you are now a plumber. If not slowly tighten the clamp till the leak stops. Keep in mind do NOT more than tighten the clamp. In this case a little is greater than too much. Hopefully this will be the last leak you will have, but chances are it will not be. If you live in Florida where I live I can virtually guarantee you that you will have a lot more.
