The top causes of water line corrosion are:
Age and material: Older pipes made of galvanized steel or iron are prone to corrosion over time due to regular exposure to water and minerals.
Water quality: High acidity, alkalinity, or mineral content levels in water can accelerate corrosion. For example, acidic water can erode pipes, leading to leaks or rust.
Soil conditions: Soil with high moisture content, salinity, or high levels of corrosive substances can cause pipes to corrode faster, especially if they’re in direct contact with the soil.
