Copper Pitting Failures
Brookside’s 1960s and 1970s copper supply lines are failing from pitting corrosion, often as pinhole leaks inside walls that run for days before a stain appears.

That discolored spot on your Brookside wall? The one that appeared last week and seems to be getting bigger? That is not a paint problem that is water from a corroding copper pipe inside the wall cavity that has been leaking for days or weeks. And by the time you can see it on the finished surface, the damage behind that wall is far worse than what you’re looking at. Brookside’s copper pitting corrosion epidemic makes it the highest per-capita pipe burst market in New Castle County.
Pipe Burst in Brookside? Call Now (302) 400-8531 24/7 Emergency Response & Shutoff Help
(302) 400-8531Original 1960s-1970s copper supply lines have been corroding internally for 50-60 years. Failures occur inside wall cavities where they release water at full supply pressure against framing, insulation, and finished surfaces for hours or days before visible evidence appears. We use infrared thermal imaging to map the FULL migration path before any demolition.
Brookside pipe failures: copper pitting corrosion (pinhole leaks and sudden bursts), cast iron drain line cracks, frozen pipes in exterior walls during winter, supply connector deterioration on aging fixtures.
