Copper Plumbing Corrosion Failures

A condominium complex suffered extensive failures in a copper pipe plumbing system. The installer of the water distribution system was among a number of parties that were implicated in the copper piping failures. APTECH was retained by the installer to determine the cause of the failures. Our analysis indicated that the corrosion damage was not related to the distribution piping and was associated with water chemistry and/or the copper piping materials.
