        I’m home shopping in neighborhoods
        where the houses are 30-40 years
        old. They mostly have galvanized
        steel pipe plumbing. How long does
        this kind of pipe last? How can
        you tell when it should be replaced?

        Thanks … -George

          They usually last 30-40 years. You can tell when to replace them if the exterior of the pipe has numerous rust spots or the water slows down at a faucet when another faucet is used.
