Galvanized pipes were used in many homes built in the 1960s. They consist
of steel pipes that are covered with a layer of zinc. As years pass, that
zinc layer in the galvanized pipe erodes as it comes in contacted with
minerals in the water supply, resulting in corrosion that causes low water
pressure and foul smelling/tasting water throughout the entire home.
Repiping Your Home
Before you owned your LA home, it may be possible that the previous owner
had some of the galvanized piping replaced. However, while it may resolve
the immediate problem at the time, there is a chance that some galvanized
pipes remained.
In addition, the old galvanized pipes may have been replaced with new galvanized
pipes, which could lead to similar corrosion problems arising for any
future owner of the house. By repiping your entire house with either
copper or
PEX pipes, you can eliminate any potential problems and the worry that is
associated with having corroded pipes in your system.

you have experienced a pipe break that exposed corroded piping,
