Thanks so much for posting this, Danny. I woke up this Christmas morning to a partially flooded basement and a very active pinhole leak. Dreading the possibility of a holiday callout by my local plumber, I saw this video and -- voilà -- my immediate plumbing emergency is over!

This is very helpful to me. Such clear instructions. I Heard water, found the source and saw a pinhole. Shut the water off (not main) but it’s still leaking and so I will do this since it’s so simple. Thank You. It’s an outside pipe for the hose so maybe I’ll fix it and not use that one anymore I have several others. Wish me luck.

Good video, short and simple. I have the same problem, same place in my attic. My question is, is this a short-term fix or a long term (10 years or more).

This is a handy straightforward fix thank you! Do you know on average how long copper piping lasts before pinhole leaks can appear? We got some installed inside our house along the downstairs basement ceiling.

Cool video. Never seen that trick- Have you ever clamped down to hard and crushed the pipe? I remember one time I was handling some pipe that was so brittle it fell apart in my hand.

Hello, Great video! I have a question, I have a pin hole leak in a hot water copper line. It is corroded pretty bad, I can see the pin hole. It is on the bottom of the copper pipe. It is on an elbow joint. I am afraid to sand away at the corrosion, fearing that I might make it worse. What should I do? Is there anything I can use on corroded copper with out sanding?? Just spray or paste onto corroded copper pipe. Thanks, Jeff

Very handy to know, thanks for sharing!

Lady who is losing her house after owning it for 50 years has a plumbing problem. A solder joint developed a small drip. Your method will stop the drip. It's not a permanent solution, but will carry her through for a few days. Water will be shut off when she moves out in about 30 days.
