What is Galvanized Pipe?

WHAT IS GALVANIZED PLUMBING?

Galvanized iron pipes are steel pipes covered with a protective layer of zinc. Galvanized pipes were installed in many homes built before the 1960s. Over many years, zinc erodes from galvanized pipes, exposing the steel. The steel then starts to rust or corrode.

HOW TO IDENTIFY GALVANIZED PIPING

Find where your piping enters your home and scratch it. If the piping is galvanized steel, the scratched area will be a silver-gray color and have threads on each end.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE GALVANIZED PLUMBING?

Houston area residents should consider replacing their homes' plumbing if it has corroded (galvanized) plumbing and has or had a lead service line. We Do Repipes can send a professional to help you determine if your pipes need to be replaced.  If replacing your pipes is not an immediate option, it is recommended you install an NSF certified filter that removes lead at the tap, or a pitcher filter are also acceptable alternatives.  Call today, 📞832-819-8337.
