What are the chances of this pipe is corroded beyond what is visible?

So reddits best advice offers no solution if things go wrong.

So buck up and offer it yourself. (Hint, you feed new copper or Pex to the location after pulling out the old. No biggie.).

Stop being a whiny complainer.

Just hold the torch on the copper until the flame starts to turn green... Easy lol.

It is and you make you sound not too bright.

Either ask a question here or answer it but don’t whine. There are whole other reddit subs for that nonsense.

It's not really corrosion so much as mineral buildup from the water, so if the pipe is original to the house the chances are pretty high that its blocked up pretty good. I'm not sure if there is a roto-rooter type action you can do to clear that up, or if you just have to replace all the pipes over time.
