        "text": "A pinhole leak is a small, often insidious leak that develops over time, typically from corrosion, causing minimal but continuous water loss. A burst pipe is a sudden, catastrophic failure, usually due to freezing, high pressure, or impact, leading to rapid and significant flooding. Pinhole leaks may require section replacement, while burst pipes often demand immediate and more extensive repair or replacement of the damaged section. The severity dictates the immediate actions and repair complexity.",
