I our old house, that was built in 1967, we had galvenized pipe, cast iron pipe, copper pipe, PVC pipe and the new metal flex pipe. We also had brass fittings on some items. I can tell you that hard water and soft water does a number on all of the above except the PVC. The trouble with the PVC is that if you have to do a repair to it behind a wall you are in trouble. Been there done that, and it was expensive.
The house that we are in now was owned by my parents. It is solid rock about 18 inches thick. A water pipe broke at the sink allowing it to fill up like a swimming pool. I came over to check on their house to see water running under the carport door.
We turn off the water to the stick house when we leave for more than a day now. I need to remember to turn off the water here at the RV when we go home to vote at the end of the month. Thanks for the reminder guys.
