Galvanized supply lines failing from the inside out
Why it happens here
Most Lincoln Park homes built before 1960 used galvanized steel pipe. It rusts internally, restricting flow and eventually leaking at pinholes. The problem is the whole run, not just the spot where it leaks.
Our approach
We cut out the failed section and replace it with copper or PEX, then check the rest of the run for thinning. If multiple sections are bad, we quote a partial repipe so you are not back in the same spot next year.
