Hello!
Can a housefire damage water pipes? My home is OLD, and had various types of piping. I don't what all was replaced as the piping is in the cellar and I'm unable to negotiate myself down there.
I have chunks of something that often comes out of the bathtub faucet, looks like woody rusty chips of something.
Also SOMETHING has seriously stained my (cultured) marble tub. I cannot get the stain out and it looks either black or dark blue. The water has an oily feel and bubbles up in the tub. In the bathroom sink around the drain looks rusty. The kitchen faucet has brown-rusty-looking-funk around the moving parts.
Another important thing, having a wound & washing it it out with this water causes infection.
I'm told nothing is wrong, which I do not believe. I'd be forever indebeted to anyone who has an idea what is going on.

Help!!
Thanks..
God's Blessings
