Copper pipes installed in 1974 are now 52 years old. Homeowners in Adrian City Center are seeing pinhole leaks and joint calcification as the copper reaches the end of its typical lifespan. These small failures often start in hidden areas like crawl spaces or behind walls. Regular inspections can catch problems before they become major water damage issues.
