Re: [DIY] Cooper pipes in Tennessee

 

If there's something in the local water supply that might accelerate normal corrosion, a water softener/filtration system might be a good investment.

Sounds like a scare job to me.  Copper always turn green due to natural corrosion.  It could be caused by the climate if it is or has been very humid, acid from something done in the home like making pickles and using vinegar.  In short there could be many reasons why his copper pipes have turned green over the years, but that in itself does not mean that they are about fail.  Tell him to have someone who is trustworthy inspect his plumbing.

A friend bought a house in Tennessee and has been told that the copper plumbing in his new home will all fail.  He tells me that some of the pipes are green and that is very bad news.

What would make the metal turn green and is this really a problem?
