DOES YOUR WATER SYSTEM LOOK LIKE THIS?
This is what happens when rust builds up inside galvanized water pipes. The rust restricts the flow of water and causes a build-up of gunk and slime throughout the system. The water pressure in the main lines, at the street level, may be fine but as the water enters the property and moves through the house, the clogged pipes reduce the volume of water that can get through to the fixtures. As the rust and deterioration factors worsen, the water can become dirty, foul-smelling and unfit to drink.
The most noticeable result of this build-up is low water pressure in the sinks, shower, washer, yard sprinklers, etc. Hidden leaks can develop inside the walls, in the attic and under the house, running the risk of major damage to the home.
