lots of corrosion on my pipes. dripping solder etc. here is a link to photos
in addition to the typical green I see whiteish deposits. noteably where the pipes run up from the horizontal trunk.
the property is in everett wa. its a crawl space. the pipes were wrapped. there was an ongoing leak for quite some time probably making for humidity in the air. the crawl is well vented.
what would the white stuff be? years of condensation.
After fixing a hot water line yesterday I also got quite a bit of iron coming from an upstairs sink when I charged the line.. The water tank appears to be pretty new... Not sure if iron deposits would cause problems?
I just fixed 2 joints. Should I wait for number 3 and 4 or redo the joints. The ugly work appears mainly in the crawl.. Perhaps I answered my own question
Any rough ballpark on time to replace a joint by a skilled plumber.. assuming the line is drained, tools and materials in hand and body in position..
