Galvanized pipes in older homes: what to know
Many homes built before the 1960s have galvanized steel supply pipes. How to identify them, why they fail, and the options.
Plumbing questions
How do I know if my home needs repiping?
Common signs are low water pressure, discolored water, frequent leaks, or pipes made of galvanized steel or polybutylene. Both were common in older homes and tend to fail with age.
How long does a water heater last?
Tank water heaters commonly last around 8 to 12 years; tankless units often last longer. Water quality and maintenance both affect it.
