It’s sneaky leaks that can really get you. The leaks that can drip away, hidden from sight, for weeks and months at a time.

Make no mistake, however: pinhole leaks can do plenty of damage and cause serious problems.

But the truly harmful leaks are pipe leaks that occur out of sight around a home, behind walls, in the ceilings, etc.
