The house is 40 years old. The last problem was a pin-prick hole in the pipe. that small section was removed and a new piece soldered in. it leaked a little about 6 months ago, didn't get anything wet but the floor that time, that section was cut out and replaced. I think we need to put in a whole length of new pipe. After a while the hard hard water we have in our area can cause small pin sized holes in the pipes.
