Cast-Iron Replacement

Old cast-iron pipe, replaced before it fails on its own.

We trace, cut out, and replace failing cast-iron drain lines under the house or slab, breaking concrete only where the damage actually is, not guessing at it.

Why Cast-Iron Fails

Cast-iron drain lines don't fail all at once. They rust from the inside out.

Homes built with cast-iron drain pipe are now old enough that corrosion, cracking, and root intrusion are common. Left alone, a small leak under the slab becomes a much bigger, messier repair.

We have the equipment and experience to camera, locate, and repair all sewer leaks, replacing cast-iron with modern pipe that won't rust out from under you again.

01

We Camera It

A sewer camera goes down the line first, so we know exactly where the cast-iron has failed before we touch a floor.

02

We Open Only What's Needed

Slab is broken only where the damage actually is, whether that's a single joint or a longer run of pipe.

03

We Replace & Test

Old cast-iron comes out, modern pipe goes in, and we hydrostatic test the line before closing everything back up.

Cast iron pipe replacement in Fort Worth homes

Cast iron drain pipe was the standard in many homes for decades. It lasts a long time, but it does not last forever. Over the years it can crack, corrode from the inside, develop blockages and eventually collapse. When it fails under a slab or in a wall, it can cause slow drains, sewer smells, damp spots and repeated clogs.

Signs your cast iron pipes may be failing

  • Slow drains or backups in more than one fixture.
  • Sewer odor inside the house or near the foundation.
  • Damp or sunken spots in the yard or on the slab.
  • Repeated clogs that keep returning after cleaning.

How we handle a replacement

We start with a camera inspection so we can see the condition of the line and where it is damaged. Then we explain whether a repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement is the best option. If the pipe is under the house or slab, we locate the damage and open the floor only where we need to. New lines go in, we test them and we restore what we opened.

What affects the cost

The length of the line, how easy it is to reach, whether it is under a slab, how many sections need replacing and what finish work has to be restored all affect the price. We explain these factors and give you the price before work starts.

Cast iron replacement questions

How do I know if I have cast iron pipes?

Cast iron drain pipe is common in homes built before plastic pipe became standard. A camera inspection tells us what material your lines are and what shape they are in.

Do I have to replace all of it?

Not always. Sometimes a section can be repaired. The camera shows us what is damaged, and we explain the options.

Will you have to break my slab?

If the damaged pipe is under the slab, some opening is usually needed. We locate the damage first so we open the floor only where necessary.

How long does it take?

It depends on the length and location of the pipe. We give you a timeline after the camera inspection.

Can you restore the floor afterward?

We restore what we open as part of the job and can coordinate tile or other finish work with the same crew.
