CAST IRON PIPE LINING FORT LAUDERDALE FL
Plumbing services often encounter issues with cast iron pipes, which have been used in many different plumbing systems throughout the United States for over a hundred years. However, they do deteriorate over time, with a lifespan of only between 40 and 50 years. They can even begin to develop problems at 25 years old, depending on certain circumstances.
- Because of the salt and moisture-rich environment, Florida homes are especially susceptible to this type of pipe corrosion.
- Unfortunately, this serious problem is a ticking time bomb that could likely lead to a catastrophic event. But there is good news! More than likely, your Insurance company will cover the costs. Many times, your homeowners insurance policy, will pay to replace these failed cast iron pipes with new PVC pipes.

REPAIR OR REPLACE UNDER SLAB CAST IRON PIPES
FULL OR PARTIAL CAST IRON PIPE REPLACEMENT?
When dealing with cast iron sewer pipes, especially older ones, it often doesn’t make sense to locate or repair the leak or leaks. Instead, considering cast iron pipe replacement 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. It’s especially important to take a long-term view rather than an immediate one.

FAQ
Can cast iron plumbing be repaired?
Yes, cast iron plumbing can be repaired. Smaller issues, like minor cracks or leaks, can often be fixed using clamping or epoxy compounds. More severe damage might require replacing sections of the pipe.
Should I replace my cast iron plumbing?
Whether to replace cast iron plumbing depends on its condition and age. Suppose your cast iron pipes are over 50 years old, experiencing frequent issues, or showing signs of significant deterioration (such as rust, leaks, or blockages). In that case, consider replacing them to avoid more extensive damage.
How do you fix cast iron pipes without excavation?
Fixing cast iron pipes without excavation can be done using trenchless repair methods. One common technique is pipelining, where a new pipe lining is inserted and cured inside the old pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. This method is less disruptive and can extend the life of your plumbing system.
Does homeowners insurance cover cast iron pipes?
Coverage for cast iron pipes depends on your homeowner’s insurance policy and the nature of the damage. Generally, insurance may cover damages if they are sudden and accidental. However, wear and tear or neglect damage is typically not covered. It’s best to consult your insurance provider for specifics.
How long does cast iron plumbing last?
Under normal conditions, cast iron plumbing can last 75 to 100 years. However, this lifespan can be affected by factors such as the pipe’s quality, the water’s pH level, the presence of chemicals in the water, and how well the plumbing system has been maintained.
How much is it to replace cast iron plumbing?
The cost to replace cast iron plumbing depends on various factors, including the size of your house, the accessibility of the pipes, and local labor rates. For more accurate estimates, getting quotes from several plumbing professionals in your area is advisable.
