Expert Cast Iron Plumbing Repair & Replacement

Best cast iron plumbing repair in Irvine, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, and More Cities in Orange County or Los Angeles County of California

If your property was built before 1970, your drain and sewer system likely relies on Cast Iron Plumbing. While initially durable, these pipes have a limited lifespan and are now prone to internal corrosion, cracking, and structural failure, leading to slow drains, backups, and potentially severe property damage.

MDTECH Services offers specialized Cast Iron Plumbing Repair and replacement solutions for both residential and commercial properties throughout Orange County and Los Angeles County. We provide camera inspections and expert methods to diagnose the problem and restore your drainage system’s integrity.

The Danger of Failing Cast Iron Plumbing

Cast iron deteriorates from the inside out due to chemical corrosion (caused by wastewater) and external pressure (from soil movement or tree roots). The damage is often unseen until a major blockage or sewage backup occurs.

MDTECH’s Cast Iron Plumbing Repair Solutions

We offer comprehensive services ranging from diagnosis to full system replacement, always prioritizing the most cost-effective and least disruptive solution for your property.

1. Video Camera Inspection

Before any repair, we use high-resolution cameras to inspect the interior of your cast iron lines, accurately locating the cracks, rust buildup, or root intrusions. This eliminates guesswork and ensures the right solution is chosen.

2. Trenchless Pipe Lining (Repair)

For pipes that are intact but corroded, pipe lining involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the old pipe. This liner hardens to create a seamless, durable new pipe within the old one, avoiding the need for extensive excavation (digging).

  • Benefit: Minimal disruption to your property, landscaping, or concrete.

3. Sectional Replacement (Traditional)

For localized damage, joint failure, or a collapsed section, we excavate and replace the damaged segment with modern, non-corrosive materials like PVC or ABS piping.

  • Benefit: Ideal for small, accessible failures, providing a focused, durable fix.

4. Full System Replacement

When cast iron deterioration is widespread, replacement with modern PVC is the long-term solution. While costly, it eliminates recurring repair expenses and prevents catastrophic failures.
