Mohnton is a borough in Berks County. Its streets hold old homes with real charm. Many date to the early and mid-1900s. Their first pipes have served ever since. Steel and early copper do not last for all time in Mohnton. When they fail under a slab, true tools find them fast.
Why Do Mohnton Homes Develop Slab Leaks?
Three things wear out pipes here.
First is pipe age. Mohnton borough homes from the early-to-mid 1900s hold pipe 60 to 100 years old. Steel rusts from the inside out. Old copper pits and pinholes. At this age, much pipe is past its prime.
Second is hard water. Pennsylvania water averages near 151 parts per million of hardness — Mohnton 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 frost. Winter lows drop to the low 20s. Frost swells the soil time and again. Spring thaws let it drop. In Mohnton, that cycle works joints till the weak one gives.
Q: My home is near 100 years old. What now? A: First pipe that old is on borrowed time. Get a check, and plan for new pipe. It beats a late-night break.
Q: Can hard water wreck copper? A: Yes. Scale and chemistry pit copper too. Those pits turn to pinholes.
