Galvanized pipe corrosion and failure
Why it happens here
Many Berwyn Heights homes were built before 1960 with galvanized steel pipe. Over decades, the zinc coating wears away and the steel rusts. This weakens the pipe until it bursts under pressure.
Our approach
We replace corroded sections with copper or PEX tubing. We use pipe wrenches and tubing cutters to remove the old pipe and install new fittings. We also flush the system to clear rust.
