When Galvanized Pipes Can Be Coated

Galvanized pipes are common in older homes, but they are prone to corrosion and buildup over time. In some cases, internal pipe coating can restore these pipes without full replacement.

However, not all galvanized systems are good candidates. The pipes must still be structurally intact for coating to be effective.

  • Good candidates: Pipes with minor corrosion or buildup
  • Not ideal: Pipes with heavy scaling, cracks, or structural failure

Radiant uses diagnostic tools like camera inspections and pressure testing to determine whether pipe coating or a full repipe is the better long-term solution.
