water damage repair

My Buddy Google wants Me to post about My Clients ability to avoid future Water Damage on Wood Structures.

If H2O has an exit it cannot destroy much of anything. Always Slope away any post pore! An Out (for standing H20) is a gift for Wood.(Carpenters) This precious commodity will not be lived without. Whereas when drying on things it destroys!

- trowel away (pictured above)

* This towns Woodshop, never builds without a slope in mine. Flat or level allows standing puddles, so, this Carpenter knows how to furnish Wood it's avoidances where properly needed. 

!! Clout about Always !!

Craigs Clout ; Tip "o" the Week So , a few weeks ago , phone rings early in the a.m. Sunday morn and a panicked voiced Woman say's .... Blah blah blah can you please " hurry " . So woodshop to the road and I see my chore!

      So, After matching parts , leak's fixed , while cleaning up I see signs of mixed metal electrolysis (not-good) some metals mixed aren't for long compitable . When asking for water the inertia cause's slight jumping in the conduits which will cause slight friction and end-up breaking down . So after removing steel clamps on copper pipe I made new ones but incorporated insulated barrier's . So on the pipes there will have NO further problems . Alot can be avoided thru " Open Eye's " . Happy Holidays !!!

Copper / Galvanized ... Electrolosis

Electrolysis is an often misused term when applied to copper plumbing tubing. True electrolysis, or electrolytic corrosion, as it is more properly designated with regard to piping, is caused by an imposed (external) stray DC current and happens when 2 or more different metals touch IE., copper and steel plumbing components. In many cases, it is also thought that grounding of a building’s electrical system to the copper piping can cause this phenomenon, but there is no statistical data to support this, nor is it recommended that the piping system be used as the main electrical ground for a building or dwelling.

Usually, what people are really referring to when they say electrolysis is galvanic or dissimilar metal corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is caused by self-induced current created by electrical potential of two dissimilar metals in contact with an electrolyte. It can occur when two dissimilar metals (such as copper tube and steel pipe) are connected in the presence of an electrolyte.

Stainless steel , Brass and Copper, all common metal piping materials and how they react to each other, it is rarely the copper tube that fails because of galvanic corrosion. Black steel and Galvanized steel when connected to the other metals above , will start an eating away by corrosion until sooner than later a leak in your plumbing pipes will occur. Do it right the first time!
