The diagnosis
What we found
The call came in for a suspected underground leak. Once we were on site, opened the floor, and got eyes on the pipe, it was clear - a pinhole leak in an underground copper line. Small as it was, that kind of leak quietly erodes soil, drives up the water bill, and can reach the foundation if it's left to run.
The work
What we did
- Accessed the underground copper line beneath the floor
- Removed the damaged section containing the pinhole
- Installed new copper pipe in its place
- Made fresh, solid connections and restored the line
- Cleaned the work area completely before leaving

The result
The underground leak was repaired, the line restored to full working condition, and the property left clean.

What this job shows
Why a pinhole is worth taking seriously
An underground copper leak rarely fails all at once. It seeps - slowly enough that the only early signs are an odd water bill or a faint damp patch, while the water underneath erodes soil and creeps toward the slab. The pipe can look perfectly fine right up until you open the floor and see the hole.
Getting eyes on the line is what turns a guess into a fix. Confirming the exact failure meant a clean, targeted leak repair rather than replacing good pipe - and it’s the same reason we lead with leak detection for Sandy Springs homeowners when the source isn’t obvious.

Frequently asked questions
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipes?
Pinhole leaks develop from the inside out through a mix of water chemistry, soil conditions, and simple age - corrosion eats a tiny hole through the copper wall. They're easy to miss because the pipe looks intact from outside until water finds its way to the surface, which is why they so often turn up as a mystery high bill or a damp spot first.
How do I know if I have a hidden underground leak?
Watch for an unexplained jump in your water bill, a wet or unusually green spot in the yard, a drop in water pressure, or the sound of running water when everything's shut off. Any one of those is worth a leak-detection check before the water works its way toward your foundation.
