[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that you don't need to replace them as long as everything is working fine, but they may need to be replaced eventually (so factor that in as a likely future cost). Our 1935-era house had galvanized pipes, which our inspector flagged for us when we were deciding whether to buy. We replaced a bunch of the pipes as part of a basement renovation and saw a perceptible increase in water pressure, although the water situation before had certainly been livable. According to what we were told, galvanized pipes get smaller over time because of build up on the interior of the pipes, especially pipes that run horizontally. [/quote]
