What Is Behind Slab Leaks in Palmyra?
The valley near Palmyra sits on calcium-rich rock. Water picks up lime from it. Lime leaves scale in home pipes. Scale narrows pipes. Weak spots bear more force.
In karst, the ground itself moves. Worn rock lets soil sink oddly. Buried copper feels each shift. Pinholes form where strain peaks. They can run unseen for months.
Winters add freeze-thaw strain. Soil heaves, then sinks. Joints in old copper tire out. Years of cycles add up. Leaks follow.
Palmyra blocks run from the late 1800s to the postwar boom. Brick twins, Cape Cods, and ranches. The 1950s-70s slab ranches leak most often.
Q: Can hard water cause a leak near Palmyra?
A: In time, yes. Scale coats copper inside. Walls thin out. Pinholes open at weak spots.
Q: How long can a Palmyra leak hide?
A: Weeks or months. Pinholes are small. Slabs hide them. Bills climb first.
That mix keeps us busy.
