Copper plumbing question
Will keep brief. Considering purchase of a house that is spotless. Owned by an affluent elderly couple who appear to be very meticulous.
But…I went into the crawl space which is fully encapsulated (heavy, white plastic). There was a dehumidifier in there that I don’t think works. Here’s why…
The copper and PVC plumbing seems to be coated with a brown wet substance. I assume it’s from humidity (S. Carolina) although it was not humid in there currently. Here’s my concern, much of the copper piping was turning green. In an outer room (with HVAC) the copper looked perfect and no brown liquid coating to be found.
I’ll have a plumber take a look, but wonder if the oxidation will result in leaks, etc. Appreciate any ideas.
