PlumbingRepair and Maintenance Decisions4HighHomeowner$ implied

Homeowner needs to know if a pro press connection is reliable for repairing a pinhole leak in a copper pipe under the foundation where soldering failed due to residual water.

Soldering fails when pipes are wet, requiring expensive alternatives or multiple visits. Homeowner lacks trusted info on pro press reliability.
