Fixing copper pipe leaks

Fixing copper water lines is usually not a complex procedure. However, it can be complicated if there is water in the lines. Water in the piping can be of two types; it can be standing water that is trapped, and it can be moving water that is leaking past a closed valve. In either case, the water makes it hard to get a good solder joint.
Inexperienced plumbers often don't know how to overcome the problem of water in the piping. Some inexperienced plumbers will try to make a solder joint and be fooled by the actions of the solder. This type of situation will result in a new leak, but the leak may not show up immediately.
When water is present in the area being soldered, several things can happen. If there is enough water in the pipe, the joint will not get hot enough to melt solder. This is frustrating, but at least the plumber is aware that the solder joint can't be made without some type of action being taken against the standing water.
In some cases the pipe and fitting will get hot enough to allow solder to melt, but the fitting will not obtain a temperature suitable for a solid joint. When this happens, solder will melt and roll out around the fitting, but it is not being sucked into the fitting as it should be. To inexperienced eyes, this type of joint can look okay, but it's not.
When the water is turned back on, the defective joint may leak immediately, if you're lucky. If the joint leaks right away, the plumber knows the job is not done. However, sometimes these fouled joints will not leak immediately, and this means trouble.
When the weak joint doesn't leak during the initial inspection, it may be left and possibly concealed by a wall or ceiling repair. In time, and it usually won't be long, the bad joint will begin to leak. It may drip, or it may blow out. Either way, when the bad joint fails and is inspected by the next plumber, it will be obvious the joint was not made properly. There will not be evidence of solder deep in the fitting because it was never there. This will usually be considered neglectful on the professional plumber's part.
A third way that water in the piping will drive an inexperienced plumber crazy is with the results of steam building up in the pipe. As the area around the joint is heated, the water will turn to steam. The steam will vent itself, usually through some portion of the fitting being soldered. This steam may escape without being seen. When this happens, solder runs around the fitting as it should, except that a void is created where the steam is blowing out. If the plumber can't see, hear, or sense the steam, the joint will look good. Once the water is turned on, the joint will no longer look so good; it will leak and the process will have to be repeated.
Inexperienced plumbers will think they just had a leak because of poor soldering skills. They will go back through the same process and wind up with the same results. Until they figure out what is happening, and what to do about it, they will just spin their wheels trying to solder around the steam.
