Local notes

Old pipe is the story here. Cast iron drain lines corrode from the inside until the bottom of the pipe is rough or gone, which catches everything that passes. Clay laterals let tree roots in at the joints. Galvanized supply rusts closed and drops the pressure across the whole house. All three are fixable, but a camera down the line first is what stops you paying to clear the same blockage over and over.

Old pipe, honest options

We will tell you when a repair is the sensible call and when it is money thrown at a line that has failed. For drains that keep backing up, a camera inspection shows the real condition; for supply lines that are rusted through, repiping ends the leaks for good. Prices for both are on our cost guide.

Questions people ask

My drains back up every few months — why?

Something in the line is catching debris: roots at a clay joint, a belly where the pipe has settled, or a corroded cast iron section. A camera finds which one, and then the fix is a one-time job instead of a routine.

Is galvanized pipe worth replacing?

If the pressure has dropped across the house and the water runs rusty first thing, it is rusting closed from the inside. Replacing it is the only real fix.
