Pinhole leak in copper water pipe

[kruuth]

Anybody got advise on how to fix a pinhole leak? One of my water pipes has a slow drip.

Replace the pipe. If you have copper pipes and are on a well the pin hole leaks will continue.

I'm not on a well, it's in my basement

Wrap around compression clamp but like the man said it's probably just going to get worse. I've had to replace almost all the copper in my house.

Good for a temporary fix. I’ve had to do it to stretch it a few weeks until I turned the water off to remodel.

Ok. I'm certainly not averse to replacing the pipe. Is there a way to join copper to PVC?

In my old house I had to replace all of mine with PEX

Cool thanks. Is there a way to tap PVC for my fridge? I have one of those tap connectors on the copper. Sounds like I can do this. Unfortunately most of the pipe in my house is copper

Your location says Marietta. Pin holes are common around here, & unfortunately, if you have 1, you probably have more. Probably going to need a whole house repipe at some point. Look at any exposed pipe, & where there is teal discoloration on the outside, there is a pinhole working through on the inside.
