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?
Corrosion on copper pipes is a pretty typical thing. It's a little more concerning if it's only around the joints. Without cutting a cross section to see if it is actually pitting however its hard to tell if replacement is totally necessary.
