Pinhole Leak Copper Repipe in Champaign, 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 Champaign, 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 Champaign, IL.

Talk to a person
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most occupied homes take two to five days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. Water is usually restored at the end of each work day.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
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.
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.
