How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Cast Iron Pipes

Many Californian properties have cast iron sewage and sanitation pipes. That’s not necessarily bad news for property owners; cast iron is capable of withstanding high water pressure, and properly installed cast iron lines can easily last for 80 to 100 years. Unfortunately, corrosion can severely limit service life. Damaged cast iron pipes can lead to severe drainage issues, prompting property owners to look for a qualified plumber.

Even with proper maintenance, cast iron can corrode over time. Property owners can address most issues by relying on our team for CIPP pipe lining. Cured-in-place piping (also called trenchless pipe lining) repairs the line from the inside by using a special resin that essentially creates a new pipe within the older pipe.

Trenchless pipe lining in San Fernando Valley, CA , is less disruptive and less expensive than pipe replacement. As plumbers work through a single, small access point, property owners can avoid digging up landscaping.

At All City Plumbers, we offer expert resources for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and sewer pipe lining. Our plumbers can help property owners find non-disruptive, long-term solutions for cast iron sewer issues, regardless of the condition of the pipes, the age of the property, or other factors.
