What You Need to Know About Corroded Pipes

This time of year is busy. Between Thanksgiving, Black Friday and holiday shopping, it can be a chaotic season. Plus, it’s one that is often centered around lots of cooking and entertaining.

This can be a bad combination for your plumbing systems as for many households it means that the times of greatest strain coincide with the times of overlooked maintenance and care.

Avoid this common issue by taking some time to clean and inspect your pipes this fall. After all, while Black Friday is great, black pipes are not.

Are You Noticing Copper Residue?

If you have copper pipes that are turning black, that is a sign of corrosion. A number of impurities can lead to this issue, including high sulfur levels and sewer gas in your plumbing system. This also can happen if your copper pipes are coming into contact with galvanized steel or if you have low-quality pipes with lots of impurities.
