If your pipe is rusting its a sign of high humidity. This happens in spray foamed homes due to all the trapped moisture, old homes with no real foundation, and I've also seen it in more modern homes with standing water in the crawlspace. I'd guess you have spray foam in the your home?

Its actually in my garage. I have it insulated and a concrete floor. but that's kinda what I thought about the moisture. Wondering if I could put anything on the pipe to keep it from rusting. Or just steel wool and paint.
