Underground copper piping has green spots, only 2 years old? - copper futures
Our house was built, which was 2 years ago, there is a leak under the plate. When the plumber opened the floor he found a leak and the copper pipe that have green spots everywhere. What these points could be caused by leaks, and we care about the future?

Oxides of copper are green. Exposure to copper is oxidized to the environment, and finally green. The reason why some copper does not rust, because it with transparent plastic or paint, which separates the metal from the Air Base and no possibility of corrosion is covered. The same is true for all metals. All the metals form oxides on the surface. Some metals such as iron and copper are obvious, as you can see the rust after a while. Others, like gold, not so obvious. The oxide layer is not fastened securely and the separation of metal or porous media that are not disentangled the metal from the environment. Gold is closely linked are so fine that can see through. Red rust is porous. Copper is a sort of halfway between the two form a semi-porous layer after some time, not thick enough to separate the metal from the environment and stop the corrosion, to go further, because the application of multiple coats of paint, when a layer or two is not enough to match the existing color. All the copper is buried in the ground covered for preventing corrosion. In his case, the coating wDamage in places and elsewhere has been damaged, the copper oxide formed and damaged green back country. Care Professionals Someone, probably not a professional and knowing that the layer can be very careful when installing the copper pipe to be affected. If you look closely, I bet you will see the actual damage to the copper oxide, which struck or scratched in any way.
I've always said that copper was much better than any other sanitary engineering was almost no comparison. However, since I have been in the plumbing real estate for 30 years or older and had hundreds of pieces of copper pipe to remove interior walls have eroded repair, with green spots you speak, until the small leak developed, which leads to significant losses, I do not know everything what is sound within or below or above all with copper. I use both PEX or CPVC or galvanized iron pipe, when it hides an application. It's my way, but not sure will lose in the future. I have never been underground copper and cement. I also had pipes with a hammer and chisel to dig to do it someone else.

Corrosion of copper is green. When the copper in the vicinity of the zinc (galvanized pipe corrosion) is black. The green corrosion begins immediately upon contact with oxygen in copper and is accelerated by water and cement, salts or acids. Black (dielectric) generated during the corrosion of copper in contact with iron or zinc can (faster harmful to the pipes leading to a loss of less than one year). The green dots are not much to do.
Green dots are fine, but if the pipes are buried undrground porches or other aggressive sustance must be packaged to protect
Oxidized copper, is green. Nothing to worry about.
