Copper pipe condition

Hi
I’m currently doing a ground up renovation of my bathroom and was wondering about the condition of the copper piping.
It’s under the subfloor, which will be renewed. 
All seems ok apart from a few green areas but as it won’t be easily accessible, thought it might be worth getting a plumber to it check over.
Any help appreciated.

    Clean off the verdigris with a scouring pad, and then wipe down with a solution of baking soda from the kitchen. The baking soda will neutralise any remaining acidic flux residue and should stop the pipes from going green again.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
