Why call the Dudes
Pinhole Leak Repair done right the first time.
Pinhole leaks in copper happen when water chemistry, electrolysis, or aging copper finally wins. The first leak often isn't the last, and chasing them one at a time gets expensive fast.
We repair the immediate leak, then sit down with you and look at the bigger picture for your Burbank home. If we're seeing the start of a pattern, we'll say so.
What we handle
Common pinhole leak repair situations.
Multiple pinholes in same area
Likely a localized water chemistry or electrolysis issue. Reroute that section.
Pinholes throughout the house
Repipe is usually the right call once it's house-wide.
Wet drywall with no obvious source
Often a hidden pinhole. We locate and access cleanly.
Recurring small leaks
Pattern matters. We'll show you the data.
Old copper installed pre-1980s
Copper from this era often reaches end of life. Repipe planning recommended.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Pinhole leaks are caused by pitting corrosion, tiny holes that eat through copper from the inside out. Burbank's water chemistry (slightly aggressive on older type-M copper), high static pressure off the DWP main, electrical grounding issues, and just plain age all contribute. Homes built in the 60s, 70s, and 80s with original copper are the most common victims. If you've had one pinhole, you're statistically likely to have more on the same line within 12–24 months, which is why we often recommend a partial repipe of the affected branch, or for severely corroded systems a whole-home PEX repipe, instead of patching pinhole after pinhole.
