Water pressure- Make sure that the water
pressure is correct. If water is travelling too
fast through pipes, that is more than seven feet
per second, will cause corrosion of the pipe as
it travels. After a period of time the coating of
the pipe would wear down in certain spots and
holes begin to form and causes leaks.

On the other hand, even the slow water is
dangerous for the pipeline. As the water heats
up. Some minerals separates from the water. They
get mixed up with the calcium and tend to get
heavy and can stick to the bottom of the pipe if
the water is not moving through the pipe fast
through. If the minerals and calcium collect on
the bottom causes corrosion and creates holes in
the pipes.

Check Household Chemicals- You generally tend
to use chemicals to unclog the drain, but we
generally dont realize that they are not healthy
for our pipes. It does remove the clog, but it
also adversely affects the copper pipes. The same
chemical that attacks the slug also attacks the
pipes and creates holes and leaks.
