🚨 Pinhole leaks and saddle valves are two of the most common causes of hidden water damage in Northern Virginia homes

During a recent service call, our team at Peregrina Plumbing discovered a leaking copper pipe caused by a pinhole leak along with an improperly installed saddle valve. These issues often go unnoticed until they cause water damage, mold growth, or rising water bills. We removed the saddle valve, repaired the damaged copper piping, and restored the line using proper code compliant materials to ensure long term reliability and safety.

 

Pinhole leaks usually form due to corrosion, aging copper, or poor water chemistry. Saddle valves are another common problem because they puncture the pipe and are not designed to be permanent connections. Over time they can leak, clog, or fail without warning.

 

✅ Benefits of repairing pinhole leaks and removing saddle valves

• Prevents hidden water damage and mold

• Protects framing, insulation, and stored items

• Improves water pressure and system reliability

• Brings plumbing up to current code standards

If you notice moisture, corrosion, stains, or unexplained water usage, it is important to have your plumbing inspected by a licensed professional.
