Full-Service Cast Iron Pipe Replacement in Houston

Houston homeowners with older properties are facing failing cast iron plumbing. If your home was built before the 1980s, cast iron pipes likely operate under the foundation or in the walls. At Accurate Leak and Line, we specialize in cast iron pipe replacement in Houston. Our licensed plumbers protect your home from water damage, sewage backups, and major structural repairs without unnecessary excavation. 

Cast Iron Pipe Problems Every Homeowner Should Know

As a popular material throughout history, cast iron plumbing systems can be found in homes across Texas. The durability of this piping proved to survive decades of use, but as they age, they begin to fail.  

Many neighborhoods like Memorial, the Heights, and parts of Southwest Houston feature homes with original cast iron plumbing. These pipes were built to last decades, but Houston’s clay-rich soil, high humidity, and heavy rains can accelerate corrosion. 

For more than two decades, Accurate Leak and Line has been repairing and replacing cast iron systems in Houston and the surrounding areas.  

When to Replace Cast Iron Pipes: Key Warning Signs

Recognizing early warning signs of cast iron pipe failure can save Houston homeowners from major water damage and expensive repairs. Early detection helps stop small problems from becoming emergencies. If you notice any of the issues below, it may be time to replace your cast iron pipes: 

Brown or yellow water from your faucet often signals internal pipe corrosion or rust buildup.

Persistent water leaks can result from cracked or deteriorating cast iron pipes.

Slow-draining toilets, sinks, or tubs

Foul smells may indicate that sewer gas is leaking through broken or corroded cast iron sewer lines. 

Moisture from cracked pipes behind walls can create mold growth and hidden water damage. 

A bright green patch of lawn could mean sewage is leaking underground and fertilizing the area. 

Soil softened by underground leaks can cause visible dips or sags in the yard or driveway.

Foundation cracks or wall damage may be traced back to leaking cast iron drain lines beneath the slab. 

Standing puddles around your property could result from sewage or water leaking out of broken underground pipes.

Insects and rodents can enter through damaged pipes, especially when sewer lines are cracked or open.

Early detection is key to avoiding costly structural and plumbing repairs. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, call Accurate Leak and Line and book an inspection.

Cast Iron Plumbing Services We Provide

Our team uses non-invasive, trenchless methods whenever possible to limit excavation and avoid tearing up your flooring or yard. We’ll begin with a full diagnostic evaluation to determine the best method of cast iron pipe replacement 

At Accurate Leak and Line, we use tools like video camera inspections, hydrostatic pressure testing, and electronic leak detection to map out your system and locate problem areas. Once we know what’s wrong, we develop a custom plan for your property and plumbing needs.

Rerouting is a practical solution for localized damage. Instead of replacing the entire system, we redirect plumbing around the damaged section. This technique requires less excavation and is ideal when only part of the cast iron pipe network is compromised. 

In cases of widespread corrosion or failure, full cast iron pipe replacement may be necessary. This process often requires excavation, especially for pipes under the slab or foundation. Our team replaces failing cast iron with durable PVC or new cast iron piping, depending on the situation and building code requirements.
