[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 48625, member: 126"] Re: Water damage... causes For a related anecdote about water and corrosion, my steel water feed pipe between my meter and house just sprung a leak. It looks like corrosion and failure occurred where two lengths of pipe were threaded together at a straight joint. Logically I guess the pipe is slightly thinner where the threads are cut, while there may be a more scientific explanation for why it failed there. No salt water, but the pipe is in low ground that is often flooded, so more than enough moisture to attack a steel pipe (over several decades). JR [/QUOTE]
