Why Does Shrewsbury See Slab Leaks?
Winters freeze and thaw hard. Frozen soil shifts at slab edges. Spring rain then soaks the ground. Each cycle works joints looser. Years of cycles wear pipes down.
York County water is fairly hard. Tests show hardness near 68 mg/L. Lime settles in pipes. Buildup narrows pipes over time. Joints take more strain.
USGS maps show karst zones near Shrewsbury. Acid water wears deep rock down. It wears along cracks and seams. Water paths shift as a result. Damp can reach slabs from odd angles.
Shrewsbury runs the full range of ages. An 1853 colonial, older ranches, new Foxhaven homes. The older slab ranches hold aging copper.
Q: Can hard water cause a leak near Shrewsbury?
A: In time, yes. Scale coats copper inside. Walls thin out. Pinholes open at weak spots.
Q: Why do old Shrewsbury blocks leak more?
A: Old pipe, old woes. Copper lasts years, not a lifetime. Scale and soil win out.
That mix keeps us busy.
