OLD GALVANIZED WATER PIPE CRACKED!...Replaced The Old Water Line With Pex Pipe
What happens here
After removing a section, the cut galvanized pipe is inspected. The internal examination reveals significant rust and mineral buildup, indicating severe corrosion. The point of failure is identified as a seam on the pipe, likely exacerbated by freezing conditions and the pipe's age (dating back to 1968).
