Not sure where in TN you are - we're south of
Nashville and it's VERY humid. That alone might cause
the patina. If the green is mainly around or under a
connection, look for a leak, but that's something
usually with some crystals that have precipitated
out of the water contact with the copper and has an
appearance of a leak.
Basically, I agree with Dale - he's trying to scare you
into a project that is not needed. Copper pipes are good,
long-lasting pipes. As long as they don't leak, which
you would have found out before, they'll last a LONG
time.

A friend bought a house in Tennessee and has
been told that the copper plumbing in his new home will all
fail. He tells me that some of the pipes are green and
that is very bad news.
What would make the metal turn green and is
this really a problem?
