Three homes on my street have pipes in the walls that have leaked this year.

I live in Florida and all the homes are on slabs and the pipes are in concrete and the homes all about 20 years old.

What can cause pipes to leak in this situation and should I considered having my home repiped.

Greetings from Sarasota, The houses were built about the time I retired and are piped with copper. Aggressive water. Electrolysis, etc. all can cause pinhole leaks. If your beginning to get leaks now would be a good time to get three estimates and consider repiping. Good luck, Tom
