If you have cast iron piping, now what ?

Homes built prior to 1975 have cast iron sewer lines.

High quality cast iron pipes are approved for plumbing and are still used today

However, recycled steel became more popular due its lower cost. The new lower quality steel is prone to cracking, splitting and rusting sooner

the broken or cracked cast iron sewer line can back up into your yard or much worse, back up into your home.

the splinters can catch paper products flushed down toilet and prevent normal flow of water casing main line stoppages.

The raw sewer water that backed up inside your home can cause health hazards and devastating water damage.

the most accurate way to determine the condition of your sewer line is to use camera video inspection.

if the inspection reveals cracks, splits and rust the best option is to have cast iron sewer line replaced as soon as possible.
