Pinhole Leak Copper Repipe in Ferris, IL

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 Ferris, IL 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 Ferris, IL.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Ferris, IL?
Look for a wet patch in the yard that never dries, a meter that moves with every fixture closed, low pressure at the hose bib, or rusty water. If the line is galvanized, lead or polybutylene, replacement usually beats repair.
Can a water line be replaced without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Trenchless pipe bursting uses two small pits, one near the meter and one near the house, and pulls new HDPE through the old path. It works best on fairly straight runs.
How deep is a water service line buried?
It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.
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.
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.
