Why Do New Holland Homes Get Slab Leaks?
Three things wear out pipes here.
First is karst rock. Lancaster County sits on limestone. It wears down slow. Soil shifts a bit as it does. Buried pipes feel that shift at their joints. Over years, the strain starts slow leaks.
Second is pipe age. Many New Holland homes date to the early-to-mid 1900s. Steel pipe was the norm then. Those lines are now 60 to 80 years old. Steel rusts from the inside out. You see nothing till a pinhole opens.
Third is hard water. Our water runs near 7 grains per gallon. It picks up minerals from the lime rock. Those minerals coat pipe walls. The coat breeds rust spots. Years of this thins the walls.
