Hello, I have asked everyone about the copper piping turning blue and no one can tell me. We are building a new home, and we have noticed all of the copper piping is turning blue through out the house. (basement) We are living in the basement right now. The basement is concrete on three sides and one side is open. You can leave a copper penny lay out and it turns blue. Also, my husband has a silver type belt buckle and it turned blue. I can tell you that we do have sulfur in our water, and we use a humidifer. Also, you can not take a shower with any silver jewelery on because it turns it black It has even turned my new copper door jams blue. Thansk! Sue
