From Old Galvanized to Clean, Reliable Plumbing

A shower repair often starts with a simple fixture issue, but in older homes with galvanized piping, there is usually more happening behind the wall.

This project had a classic back-to-back tub and shower setup with aging lines that needed to be addressed on both sides. Working with galvanized piping requires a different approach since the connections are threaded and not flexible like newer systems.

The goal is always the same: clean, reliable plumbing and a finished space that looks like it was never opened.

From the pipe to the paint, everything is handled as one process.

If you're interested, I put together a short write-up explaining how these types of projects are handled: https://www.altadenahandyman.com/post/working-with-galvanized-pipes-in-older-homes-requires-a-different-approach
