WHY INSPECTING YOUR CAST IRON PIPES IS IMPORTANT

Although cast iron pipes were a popular choice in homes built from the early 1900s to around the mid-eighties, corrosion and tree root intrusion can cause them to fail over time, creating a ticking time bomb that leaves your home exposed to interior and exterior leaks of water and sewage. Regular maintenance of old cast iron pipes is important to prevent clogs. Custom Plumbing uses special tools to clean and remove blockages, helping to prevent clogs before they become more serious and result in costly repairs. Custom Plumbing has more than 19 years’ of experience helping to protect, service, and if necessary, replace cast iron pipes in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler, Glendale, Tempe, Goodyear, Gilbert and across Arizona with just one call.

Cast Iron Pipe Repairs

Cast iron plumbing can have a life expectancy of as short as 25 years below ground. You know your cast iron pans that you learn to carefully take care of so they don’t rust? Your pipes are the same. Cast iron can rust, and it’s wet underground, plus you run water through it, so it begins to deteriorate as soon as it’s installed, and it will fail in time. Using soap or detergent accelerates the damage to the inside of the pipe. Now we’re not suggesting that you stop using soap, but life at home does drop the lifespan of your plumbing system. Chemical drain cleaners like Draino can speed up decay even further. When your cast iron plumbing eventually does fail, it’s critical to address the problem quickly to prevent water damage to your home and yard. In some cases, our plumbers may be able to patch or reline the pipes to repair them, or replace a section of pipe. But if part of your plumbing has experienced an issue, the rest isn’t far behind, so it may be cheaper, in the long run, to just replace it. Regular maintenance and plumbing inspections are important to find issues early and prevent more costly repairs in the future.
