How can you tell when the well water is deteriorating the copper piping simply by looking at the house?
Home Buyers Sellers Sample Report Pictures FAQs Email Us		Look around the drains of the sinks and the tubs. If you see green patina stains in these plumbing fixtures, then it is a safe assumption that the well water is acidic and that the copper is being deteriorated. In extreme situations, round green stains can be seen on the horizontal runs of the pipes. These are failures, and will start leaking with a small spray of water. The solution is to test the water and install a neutralizing system to raise the water's pH level. Note: Brown-orange stains indicate excessive minerals in the water. Conditioning equipment will be needed if this is the case.
