Is a Slab Leak Hiding in Your Lewisberry Home?

Lewisberry is a quiet borough in York County. Old homes line its streets. Many date to the early and mid-1900s. Their pipes have served ever since. Steel and early copper do not last for all time. When they fail under a slab, pro tools find them fast.
Why Do Slab Leaks Happen in Lewisberry?
Three things wear out pipes here.
First is age. Borough homes from the early-to-mid 1900s hold pipe 60 to 100 years old. Steel rusts from the inside out. Early copper gets pinholes. In a town this old, much pipe is past its prime.
Second is hard water. PA water averages near 151 parts per million of hardness — Lewisberry included. Minerals settle in pipes as scale. The scale roughens the walls. Rust starts at the rough spots. Years of this thins the pipe.
Third is freeze and thaw. Winter lows drop to the low 20s. Frost swells the soil time and again. Spring thaws let it settle. That cycle works joints till the weak one gives.
Q: My home is 70 years old. Is a leak likely? A: The risk is real. Old pipe fails more. One visit shows you just where yours stand.
Q: Can a small leak harm my foundation? A: Yes. Slow leaks wash soil from under the slab. In time the slab can settle. Early finds stop that.
