If your home or commercial property was built before 1975, there’s a good chance that it contains a cast iron plumbing system that has failed or is nearing failure.
Cast iron pipes corrode and deteriorate over time. Pipe deterioration can lead to water damage, water back-ups in the house, clogged or slow drains, leaking sewage, pest infestation, and possible health risks to building occupants. Water damage might take one or more of the following forms:
Back-ups into the house
Warped or separated wood floors
Tinted (raised) floor tiles
Loose or broken floor tiles
Water-stained floor tiles (grout)
Water-stained or discolored carpet, rug, or mat
Foul smells from sewer gases
Roach infestation
