What it is, and why it matters.
Galvanized steel pipe is coated in zinc to resist rust, but over decades the coating wears away and the pipe corrodes from the inside. Scale builds up, the opening shrinks and pressure drops, and the water can turn brown or orange.
Many older Nashville homes still have galvanized lines in some or all of the house. We replace sections or the whole system with PEX or copper, coordinate wall repairs and test every connection. Fresh pipe makes showers stronger and the water cleaner.
Four things done right.

Galvanized Pipe Replacement: common questions
Why is my water brown when I first turn it on?
In older homes rust and sediment can settle in galvanized pipe and flush out when water starts moving. If it happens often, the pipe is wearing out.
Can I replace only some of the galvanized pipe?
Yes. Replacing the worst sections is possible, though mixing old and new pipe can leave weak spots. We explain the trade-offs so you can decide.
