Olde Carlsbad's original village cottages from the nineteen twenties through fifties rest on slab foundations where original copper and galvanized supply lines run underneath. These lines are well past their expected service life and leaking under slabs is common in historic Olde Carlsbad homes. Olde Carlsbad slab-on-grade homes have supply lines installed nearly a century ago. Copper and galvanized pipes corrode from inside, developing pinhole leaks that drain slowly under slabs where they go unnoticed for months.
