Frequently Asked Questions

What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipes?

Pinhole leaks are commonly caused by pitting corrosion from low pH (acidic) water, excessive water velocity from oversized pumps, dissolved oxygen, or residual soldering flux left inside the pipe during original construction.

Is PEX piping better than copper for freeze resistance?

Yes. PEX is cross-linked polyethylene which can expand slightly when water turns to ice and contracts back when thawed, making it substantially more freeze-resilient than rigid copper or brittle CPVC, although fittings can still fail.
