its probably past time to replace all the water lines......

PEX is excellent and cheap too, the incoming water line may be clogged
too espically if its lead..

the thing about galvanized, it will leak. fix one leak get 2 more
later.


.... fix those leaks, get another three and then put Pex in...

Wouldn't that be a rather large major job ?

Tearing out sheetrock to replace the pipes, etc.

Abandon the pipes in the wall? Run Pex home runs from a manifold to
each fixture. A correct install, in the attic, would seem simple in my
view.

You might have to do some small patching -- though?
