Does Your Central Florida Home Have Cast Iron Pipes?

As we celebrate the holiday season with family and friends, the last thing you want is plumbing issues from failing cast iron pipes. This time of year puts extra stress on your pipes, leading to slow drains, shower/ toilet back ups, water damage and foul odors. All of these are common issues for corroded and rusted cast iron pipes, but having them replaced can be very expensive and inconvenient. 

The Leak Doctor has a Better Solution 

The latest technology allows us to gently clean out all the rust and corrosion out of your cast iron pipes and apply an epoxy coating, leaving them as good as new. We can do this outside your home so you don’t have the mess or high cost of having your floors dug up. The best part, it’s just a fraction of the cost of replacing your cast iron pipes. 

Over 2.5 million homes in Florida built before 1975 have cast iron pipes, most of which are in the process of failure. An insurance claim to replace these pipes can can cost tens of thousands of dollars. But it doesn’t have to.

Besides slow drains and back-ups, other signs include:

Sewer issues

Discolored water

Mold and mildew

Insect infestation

Unexplained puddles in the yard

Water leaks

Warm areas on the floor

The sound of water running when you shouldn't 

The Leak Doctor has made an extensive investment in training, technology and the right people to decreasing restoration costs. We also work with your insurance company.

Not having to rip up beautiful flooring and replace all the cast iron pipes means a significant cost savings. We also have the right equipment to clear the lines with blockage, even descale cast iron to smooth out ID.
