Burst galvanized pipes in pre-1970 homes
Why it happens here
Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside out and fail at the joints. Homes near Hubbard Woods and the Village Center often have original plumbing that is 50 to 70 years old. A hard freeze can accelerate the failure.
Our approach
We locate the failed section, repair or replace it, and dry the surrounding structure. We also inspect the rest of the visible plumbing and flag other sections that are likely to fail.
