I always cover my pipes as well but I'm curious, how long does it take on average for cement to eat through copper tube?

20 year?
 
hello ,
The efects are visible in the first year .The copper pipes needs protection always.The polyethylene foam layer is for: protection expansion and condensation.
 
Easiest by far is plastic coated soft copper. You don't have to spend ages wrapping the pipes or getting that nasty sticky grease off your fingers afterwards.
