Galvanized steel pipe corroding from the inside
Why it happens here
Much of the housing stock along the corridor was built with galvanized steel pipe, which rusts from the inside out. After decades, the walls thin and the pipe fails under normal pressure, often in the middle of a run.
Our approach
We cut out the failed section and inspect the surrounding pipe for thinning. If more than a short run is compromised, we replace it with copper pipe or PEX tubing so you are not back on the phone next year.
