The hot water runs develop pin holes and I’ve had at least five leaks. I'm currently waiting for my drywall guy to come and fix this last repair. The original owner had some of the pipe torn out and replaced with flex but The harder-to-get-to pipe remains.
this is not to say there's anything wrong with copper pipe, I believe that this job was done with poor quality or defective pipe.
In my case, I almost need to keep my plumber on retainer.
The biggest problem with copper pipes is if the plumber does not electrically isolate the copper pipes from iron pipes (plumbing Code), causing destructive galvanic corrosion.
For the plumber who does isolate the pipes, they sometimes forget to re-ground the electric power wiring to preserve electric ground for your appliances.
