After you have recognized a pinhole leak inside your copper tube, and it is above the slab it is not that hard to repair.
Isolate the leak, and turn the water off to the house, either at the device where it comes in or at the water meter by the street.If you turn it off at the house then open the hose bib that's usually found just above the water shut off.

If not slowly tighten the hold before leak stops. Remember don't over tighten the clamp. In this case somewhat is better than a lot of. Hopefully this will be the past flow you'll have, but odds are it will maybe not be. where I live if you live in Florida I can almost guarantee you that you'll have more.
