"I was quoted $18,000 to jackhammer the slab and replace the cast iron. LiningWorks showed me on the camera that the wall was still viable, descaled it, and lined it the same day. Four-figure fix, not five."
LiningWorks cast iron pipe repair uses CIPP lining and descaling to rehabilitate corroded, scaled, or cracked cast iron sewer pipes from the inside — no excavation, no saw-cutting concrete, no demolished landscaping.
Free phone consultation. Flat-rate pricing. No upsells, ever.
Cast iron pipe repair addresses the two failures that end the service life of cast iron sewer lines: internal corrosion that thins the pipe wall, and mineral scale buildup that narrows the bore. Both are caused by decades of exposure to drain chemistry, hydrogen sulfide gas, and hard water minerals.
LiningWorks cast iron pipe repair always begins with a camera inspection to measure corrosion depth and scale thickness. Depending on what the camera finds, the repair path is one of three: descaling to restore bore, CIPP lining to seal corrosion and cracks, or both in sequence on the same visit.
The CIPP liner bonds to the interior of the cast iron wall and creates a new, seamless pipe surface — stopping corrosion progression, sealing cracks, and restoring near-full bore diameter. The liner is rated for 50+ years and does not corrode.
Every cast iron pipe repair quote is flat-rate and derived from what the camera actually finds — not from a general estimate based on pipe age. You know the scope and cost before work begins.
