Over time, pipes naturally corrode due to chemical reactions between the pipe material and the surrounding environment. The most common types of corrosion in residential plumbing are galvanic corrosion and pitting corrosion. Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals (e.g., copper and steel) come into contact, creating an electrochemical reaction that leads to pipe deterioration. Pitting corrosion involves the development of small, localized holes in the pipe's surface. Corroded pipes can leak or burst, causing water damage and loss of water pressure.

A plumbing professional can identify the age and the type of pipes you have and can make recommendations on replacing older or problematic pipes before they fail and you are faced with more time-consuming and costly repairs.
