What happens here

Before beginning any repair, it is crucial to first locate the leak, which in this case is a small pinhole in a galvanized pipe. Once the leak is identified, proceed to shut down the main water supply to the affected pipe. After turning off the water, open nearby faucets connected to that pipe to allow any remaining water to drain out, reducing pressure and preventing further water spillage during the repair.

Goal: Stop water flow and prepare the pipe for repair
