Replace 10' at a time, you have the water shut off. And put in some drip couplings or 90's in the low spots, so you can get the water out.

You should check your water system and make sure it is grounded properly It may be electrolisis (spelling) the water picks up and wears down your pipe from the inside out, I if you have green stains in your sinks or tub this is a sign of it.

Could also be high acidity in the water. Town or well?

Acid, quite common in the area. Fixtures aren't green thank God.

If you are doing your own plumbing, the trick I have learned is buy more than you will need. If you are not sure which size fittiing buy both. It is still less expensive than a pro. Of course this assumes that you have some mechanical skills. If it's a trap under a counter or hidden plastic is a good thing.
If all else fails there is always duct tape, hose clamps or a pail.......
