Backdrafting causing condensation/corrosion on cold pipe. That's my guess.

Is that copper pipe attached to steel without a die electric union?

That would the the least of their problems!




"Spillage"? You must write "soft reports" Robert!

Ever see "spillage" at places like Hover Dam!
More like a damn flood!
