Cast Iron Pipe Descaling
Rejuvenate your aging cast iron plumbing. We scrape away decades of rust and scale to restore proper flow.
Cast Iron Pipe Descaling
If your home was built before the 1980s, you likely have cast iron sewer pipes. Over decades, these pipes develop hard, jagged rust deposits known as scale. This scale narrows the diameter of the pipe and creates a rough surface that easily catches toilet paper and debris, leading to frequent clogs. Our descaling process uses specialized chains and hydro jetting to grind away this rust, leaving your pipes smooth, clear, and fully functional again.
Signs You Need This Service
- Frequent, unexplained clogs in older homes with original plumbing
- Sewer camera inspections showing severe bubbling or flaking inside the pipe
- Slow draining that cannot be fixed by standard snaking alone
- A desire to extend the life of your cast iron pipes before needing a full replacement
Our Process
Pre-inspection with a camera to ensure the pipe is structurally sound enough for descaling
