Abstract
Pinhole leaks in copper plumbing pipes are a concern for the homeowners. While the major municipal system is readily recognized as a vast infrastructure system of nearly 1,409,800 km of piping within the United States, the minor plumbing system that is at least 5 to 10 times larger is generally not well addressed. Pinhole leaks in copper plumbing pipes are a serious concern for homeowners. Affected homeowner concerns include increase in home insurance costs, declining property value, taste and odor problems, water damages, health related issues such as resulting from mold growth and mental stress.
