I've attached 3 photos of my main water pipe with a SUPER SLOW leak. One drip every 10 minutes or so. It has green corroded stuff all around. In the photo, it is the top joint, the smaller 3/4" pipe with the 90 degree angle.
My question is, can I simply shut off the main water, drain the pipe, clean the fitting forst with a wire brush, followed by lots of flux, and re-solder it? That would be easiest.
Or should I refit a new section. The problem is that I can barely reach this pipe because of it's location. I believe I can hit it with a propane torch.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
