Cast Iron Pipe Repair: What You Need to Know

Cast iron pipe was designed to last 50 years. The truth is there are so many variables and factors that contribute to the deterioration of cast iron pipe, making cast iron drain pipe repair inevitable. And while thereโ€™s no way to know when your pipe will go bad, there is no doubt that they will go bad.

The last houses constructed with cast iron pipe in DFW were built around 1986. However, many houses in the area were built using PVC pipe even as far back as the late 1970s.
The cast iron on each side of the repair will go bad e.g. crumble, crack, break, leak, etc. Thatโ€™s just the nature of the material. As the metal repeatedly comes into contact with the wastewater that runs through it, it deteriorates.

FULL OR PARTIAL CAST IRON PIPE REPLACEMENT?

When dealing with cast iron sewer pipes, especially older ones, it often doesnโ€™t make sense to locate or repair the leak or leaks. Instead, considering cast iron pipe replacement or cast iron drain pipe repair might be more practical and cost-effective.

Now we understand not everyone can afford to replace all of the cast iron pipes under a slab at once. This is why some might opt for the repair instead. However, affordability, or lack thereof, makes it that much more important to consider all your options, including water leak detection services. Itโ€™s especially important to take a long-term view rather than an immediate one.

Sometimes it is possible to replace part of the pipe now and some of it later. And sometimes thereโ€™s another option altogether.
