We are leaders in water damage restoration services in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley, Barstow/Twentynine Palms, and Victorville teams are Here to Help ® when you have a water damage emergency. A s homes age, so do their plumbing systems, and old, corroded pipes are a significant cause of residential water damage.

Over time, galvanized steel or cast-iron pipes can deteriorate, leading to rust, corrosion, and eventual leaks. Corroded pipes often result in slow leaks that may go unnoticed, allowing water damage to accumulate in walls, floors, and ceilings.

Corrosion weakens pipes, making them more susceptible to bursting or cracking. Even small leaks from corroded pipes can cause mold growth, wood rot, and structural issues if not addressed promptly. Homeowners with older plumbing systems should know the risks and consider having their pipes inspected by a professional plumber.

Re-piping may sometimes be necessary to prevent further water damage and costly repairs. Regular inspections and timely replacement of old pipes can help avoid the problems associated with corrosion.

By upgrading to modern plumbing materials like copper or PEX, homeowners can protect their homes from the hidden dangers of corroded pipes and ensure a reliable water supply.
