Why call the Dudes
Galvanized Pipe Replacement done right the first time.
Galvanized steel pipe was great in 1955. By 2025, it's restricted, rusty, and ready to retire. If you've got galvanized in your Burbank home, you've likely already noticed reduced pressure, rust-colored water, or persistent leaks at threaded joints.
We replace galvanized cleanly, full or partial, in either copper or PEX based on what makes sense for your home and budget.
What we handle
Common galvanized pipe replacement situations.
Reduced pressure throughout the home
Galvanized narrows from the inside as it ages. Repiping restores flow.
Threaded joint leaks
Galvanized fittings rust at the threads. They never stop leaking once they start.
Hard-water-style scale at fixtures
Often actually rust shed from galvanized, not real scale.
Old home with original plumbing
Burbank has many homes built before galvanized fell out of favor.
Insurance flagged galvanized
Some insurers require replacement. We document the work.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Telltale signs: rusty or discolored hot water (especially after the house sits for a few hours), low water pressure that's worsened over the years, lead-colored or silver pipes visible at the water heater or under sinks, and a build year before 1960. Galvanized steel was standard in Burbank residential construction through the 50s and corrodes from the inside out, the inside diameter of a 50-year-old galvanized 3/4" pipe is often down to 1/4" of actual flow. A magnet sticks to galvanized; copper is non-magnetic. If you suspect galvanized, schedule a free assessment and we'll confirm.
