Your water line is very important to your plumbing. It brings fresh water to your showers, faucets, toilets, and other household appliances. “Your water line is built to last, for example galvanized steel pipes have a lifespan of 40 to 50 years and iron pipes can last up to a century. However, like anything else, your water line won’t last forever and a damaged water line can easily compromise the quality of your home.”
