Quality Services for Cast Iron Pipe Replacement Ottawa

Cast iron plumbing used to be the go-to pipe material for your sewer, gas, and heating pipes. The issue with cast iron piping is that it is extremely vulnerable to water and moisture, making deterioration over time inevitable.

When this happens, small pinhole leaks or big pipe bursts can occur, causing major damage to your property. Many homes are still built with cast iron plumbing pipes, which is why we suggest cast iron pipe replacement. Ottawa homeowners can count on our experienced plumbers to replace your cast iron pipes with a different pipe material, such as PVC piping, a much more affordable alternative. These plastic pipes are durable and don't corrode.

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Ottawa, our experienced professionals offer expert advice and various solutions to your corroded cast iron drain or sewer pipes. Whether you want a traditional drain line replacement or trenchless replacement, we are here for professional cast iron pipe replacement. Ottawa plumbers specialize in the following professional cast iron drain replacement services:

We always begin with a pipe inspection to see what we're dealing with. From there, we will suggest the best route of action for replacement.

• Traditional Cast Iron Pipe Replacement: You can never go wrong by performing traditional methods for your cast iron pipe replacement. Ottawa plumbers can tear out the piping completely by excavating into the ground and replacing them with
• PVC or polybutylene pipes. However, this is an extensive process and many homeowners will find that the trenchless pipe bursting method is more ideal.
• Trenchless Cast Iron Pipe Replacement: You can get new pipes by re-piping the underground plumbing by using a method called pipe bursting. This technique requires extensive experience to ensure proper replacement, and thankfully our insured plumbers possess the expertise to get the job done right.

Cast Iron Pipe Repair Ottawa

When you are experiencing minor cast iron pipe leaks and need quick solutions for this pipe damage, we offer cast iron drain pipe repair. Ottawa homeowners should be mindful that this is a temporary solution because the cast iron piping will continue to deteriorate until you replace it entirely.

That being said, we offer drainage pipe repairs to resolve minor damages such as small leaks or minor holes. Some of our repair methods include the patch repair method and the point repair method (also known as pipe relining).

• Patch Pipe Repair: Patch repairs are meant for plumbing emergencies because they are the quickest and easiest type of cast iron pipe repair. Ottawa plumbing professionals can prevent costly repairs in your home by covering the broken pipe with repair wraps and epoxy adhesives.
• Trenchless Pipe Lining Repair: For a more long-lasting solution, our licensed plumber offers point repair services for your cast iron pipe repair. Ottawa professional plumbers are experienced in this trenchless repair method wherein we coat epoxy or resin fillers over the inside of the affected pipe area and place a pipe liner over the adhesive.

When we suggest a cast iron drain pipe replacement, Ottawa residents will learn that the repair of cast iron plumbing systems is not a long-term solution.
