Simply polishing wouldn't get rid of the corrosion, caused by leaking solder joints...........KC_Jones said:Can’t imagine why, looks perfect to me. Actually the copper could use a little polishing.

Lost many jobs to other contractors using copper because its "cheaper". Love the look on the homeowners face when I give them an estimate in a few years to repipe becsuse of the leaks. Mostly same two contractors doing the installs. Some people just can't seem to grasp the concept of swing joints and expansion / contraction.0
