Galvanized steel plumbing is also more likely to develop leaks as it ages. Copper and brass are the most popular types of material used for supply lines today. This type of plumbing has the longest leak-free life expectancy. Our engineers evaluate the plumbing in the building. If there are any problems in the observable plumbing lines, our engineers will advise you of them.
Some buildings have an underground sprinkler system.
The underground pipes for most underground sprinkler systems are made of plastic. Since the pipes are underground, leakage problems may be difficult to find. Often, leaks are found only when a building owner observes that part of the lawn in not being watered properly. These pipes may be covered with asbestos containing insulation . The steam pipes are almost always connected to cast iron radiators.
