A place for Plumbers and those interested in Plumbing to ask questions and discuss the trade.
Community guidelines:
If you have a plumbing question please include a picture in your post.
If you have a question such as "does this look correct?" please include the code your area adheres to. If you're not sure please include state/province/country you're in. Codes can vary state to state and what's wrong in one area may be perfectly acceptable in another.
Just as codes vary, prices do too. That's why we won't discuss any pricing because there's so many factors that can't or shouldn't be conveyed to strangers over the internet.
I live in a condo (40ish yo) and recently a neighbor in an adjacent building had a leak and the board suggested that everyone have a plumber come inspect their units. I just inspected and found various levels of corrosion at most joints with the included photo the worst looking of the bunch.
How concerning does this appear?
Since it's blue and around the joints, I'm thinking it's the flux used when these pipes were put in. Most likely with a bit of scrubbing with a metal brush and polish with some steel wool it'll come right off. I doubt it's actually going into the surface.
But let a professional look at it to be sure.
