Common Outdated Pipe Materials We Replace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Galvanized Steel Pipes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Galvanized steel was a popular plumbing material in homes built before the 1960s. These pipes were originally coated with zinc to prevent rust, but over time that coating wears away, exposing the steel beneath. This leads to corrosion, rust build-up, and eventually restricted water flow or leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
