Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Hanford

Galvanized Pipe Replacement Services in Hanford

Homes built across Hanford and Kings County prior to the 1970s were plumbed with zinc-coated galvanized steel water pipes. After decades of contact with Hanford's mineral-rich groundwater, galvanized pipes rust from the inside out. Internal rust blisters (tubercles) severely restrict water volume, cause rust-colored water when you turn on the morning tap, and lead to sudden pinhole leaks inside wall cavities. Chemical treatments cannot reverse galvanized corrosion; the only permanent solution is replacing failing steel pipes with modern Uponor PEX-A tubing. We provide complete galvanized replacement, restoring strong, crystal-clear water pressure to every fixture in your home.
