Once you have detected a pinhole leak in your copper pipe, and it is above the slab it is not that hard to repair.

Isolate the leak, and turn the water off to the residence, either at the valve where it comes in or at the water meter by the street.If you turn it off at the residence then open the hose bib that is usually positioned just above the water shut off. This will releive any pressure from the internal pipes, and the leak really should quit dripping.

The subsequent factor you want is to get the parts to quit the leak. If it is a pinhole leak all you require is a small piece of soft rubber, and a pipe clamp. Try to find a clamp that is close to the size of the pipe. You can usually uncover these at the nearby hardware or auto parts retailer. Make sure the rubber is soft so it will close the leak when you tighten the clamp. [http://www.roofpbc.com/ the guide to roofing company]

Do NOT more than tighten the clamp or you may possibly crush the pipe and have a larger leak. Think me I have completed this. Location the rubber over the hole and safe the clamp. When you think you have it tight adequate turn the water back on and examine the leak. If it has stopped dripping then you are accomplished and you are now a plumber. If not slowly tighten the clamp until the leak stops. Don't forget do NOT more than tighten the clamp. In this case a small is better than too significantly. Hopefully this will be the final leak you will have, but chances are it will not be. If you reside in Florida where I reside I can nearly guarantee you that you will have far more. But now you know how to repair above the slab pinhole leaks.
