Aging Pipes Cause Water Damage in San Diego Homes?

1/23/2024 (Permalink)

An old water pipe clogged with rust is shown. We are leaders in water damage restoration services in San Diego.

Our local San Diego City, South West team is a trusted leader in water damage restoration services. Homes in San Diego with older plumbing systems made of materials like galvanized steel or copper are at risk of experiencing corrosion and deterioration over time. These issues can lead to a range of problems, including pipe leaks and breaks.

Galvanized steel pipes were commonly used in older homes but have a limited lifespan. Over the years, the protective zinc coating on these pipes can corrode and wear away, leaving the underlying steel vulnerable to rust and deterioration. This corrosion not only weakens the pipes but can also reduce water quality as rust particles can enter the water supply.

While copper pipes are more resistant to rust, they are not entirely immune to corrosion. Copper can react with certain minerals or chemicals in the water, forming pinhole leaks or pitting on the pipe's inner surface. Over time, this corrosion can compromise the integrity of the copper pipes.
