Why Gdansk homes get this: Gdańsk's hard Baltic water and high winter humidity drive scale buildup and accelerated corrosion in older steel and copper supply lines. Pre-war and PRL-era apartments in Wrzeszcz and Oliwa carry mixed-material plumbing that is failure-prone at material junctions. Properties near the port and shipyard zones may sit on contaminated soil, requiring environmental clearance for any drain or sewer excavation work.
