Replacing Cast Iron Pipes

Mar 23, 2018

Replacing Cast Iron Pipes

If your home was built before 1970, there is a really good change that your water system was comprised of cast iron pipes. Replacing cast iron pipes can be quite a chore, but necessary due to deterioration. The average cast iron pipe has a life span of about 50 years. In ideal circumstances, the life span may increase to over 100 years.

Why The Problems?

Though cast iron pipes were known for their reliability, there are several reasons why they fail over time. Some installations may have had defective pipes from the beginning. Another reason for replacing cast iron pipes is that they naturally corrode over time, breaking apart and creating inevitable leaks. Such corrosion happens from the inside out in pipes and may also create blockages while deteriorating.

Signs That You Need To Watch For

While thinking of replacing cast iron pipes in your home or office, there are several signs that can force the issue:

sewage backup on your property
standing water in your bathtub
discolored water coming from faucets
smelling sewer gases such as methane
any type of water leak that may include discolored water
raised floor tiles in the bathroom or kitchen areas
pest infestation, as insects are drawn to sewage smells

We called Shads Plumbing to come out to look at some problems we were having. I met Steve and he walked me through some problems that he saw and explained to me in detail how he would fix them. He gave me an estimate of what I wanted done and he was a whole lot cheaper than others that I had called. They came out the next day and fixed all my problems. I was very impressed!!
