Leaking Pipe

Discover your inner plumber, pull up your sagging pants, and fix that leaky mind. Lead was the original material used for water pipes. The word "plumbing" derives from the Latin word plumbum, meaning lead. Lead was a major source of health problems such as stillbirths and infant mortality. Common types of pipe today are made from galvanized steel, brass, and ductile iron. PVC plastic pipes account for the majority of pipe materials used in buried municipal applications for drinking water distribution and wastewater mains. Enjoy the refreshing sound of a leaky pipe.
