My sister called asking for help with a small leak in her main city water supply pipe.
She had a pinhole leak in a 3/4 copper on the horizontal run a few feet from the entry point.
That section of pipe has purple batches all over the pipe and when we cut the section out, the inside is coated with a green layer.
Most of the plumbing is concealed, but the copper that pokes through the dry wall at the kitchen sink and in the utility room where the washer is does not show any purple batches.
Any idea what would cause this?
Is this a sign of a bigger issue?
