Count the pattern, not the incidents. One leak on original copper can be a single bad joint. Two or more, in different runs, describe a pipe system at the end of its material life, and each slab repair after that is money spent opening floors under a system that will fail elsewhere. A repipe routed overhead avoids future slab openings entirely. The honest quote prices both paths side by side: the next spot repair, and the repipe that ends the pattern, so the decision is arithmetic rather than frustration.
