Burst galvanized pipes in pre-1950 homes
Why it happens here
Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside and narrow over decades. In Spruce Street Area, many homes still have them, and they fail at the joints under pressure. A burst can release 50 to 100 gallons before the main is shut off.
Our approach
We shut off the water, extract the flood, and dry the affected area. We document the pipe condition for your plumber and check nearby lines for the same corrosion pattern so you can plan a replacement.
