How the Job Works
Step 1: Confirm what you have
A camera inspection shows whether the lines are cast iron and how much of the system is still original.
Step 2: Judge the condition
We look for scale, cracks, holes and low spots, and show you the footage as we go.
Step 3: Recommend honestly
Sound cast iron can stay. Failing cast iron gets a clear repair or replacement plan, with the reasons explained.

Cast Iron Drain Replacement in Tempe: Questions
If the cast iron is failing, yes, and a remodel is the best time. The floor and walls are already open, so reaching the pipe costs far less. We inspect it first. If it is still sound, we leave it in place and tell you so, and your budget goes into the finished room.
Timing depends on the job, not the city. As a guide, camera inspection takes about an hour, and section replacement takes one to a few days. Every job is scoped upfront, so you know the timeline before work starts, and we set a visit time that works for you in Tempe.
Not necessarily. Cast iron often fails in some places before others. The camera shows which runs are cracked, scaled or holed and which are still holding up. We replace what has failed and tell you plainly about any sections worth watching, so you can plan without being pushed.
