Water Line Replacement – Metzger, Tigard OR
True Flow Plumbing replaces water service lines throughout Metzger in unincorporated Washington County. Metzger's 1950s and 1960s homes were served by galvanized steel water lines — now 60 to 70 years old, well past any useful service life. The interior zinc coating that protected these pipes from corrosion depleted decades ago, and iron buildup has been narrowing the pipe from the inside ever since. Rust-tinted water from the cold tap and pressure that has slowly dropped over the years are the most common symptoms. We replace with PEX — corrosion-proof, flexible, 50-plus year rated. Washington County permit handled.
