Testimonials from our clients

Had a clog in the pipe under my kitchen sink. Elvis was very nice and informative in explaining the situation on what the issue was and how to further prevent it in the future. The service to fix the problem was quick and not a big mess. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive review. Let us know if we can help you. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.
I am beyond happy with the toilet replacement service done by Elvis! He was very nice, explained everything. It’s an old house, so not 100% standard and required some elbow grease. He put in a great effort, not just with the replacement, but cleaning the area, and dealing with some tricky parts. The price was also very fair. I would definitely recommend or call again. Thank you, Elvis!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the good review. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max and Elvis
Elvis was great! He came the same day and fixed everything so quickly. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Hi Cheryl. Thank you for your business. Always pleasure to work for you. Sincerely, Max and Elvis
Can’t say enough good things about this company. Professional, courteous, and really good at what they do. Most importantly, they do professional work for a reasonable rate, unlike most plumbers in town. Add these guys to your Rolodex and forget the rest.
Response from the owner:Kobra, thank you for sharing your positive review! It’s very important for us to read such great words. It was a pleasure to help you. Always yours, Dr. Pipe.
Elvis was great, was very respectful, knew what he was doing, very thorough, even retested twice. He put away things back under the sink that he didn’t move, great plumber and would use again, because of Elvis.
Response from the owner:Thank you, DJ Short, for your kind review! We are here to help you with any plumbing-related issues! Best regards, Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.
Elvis did excellent work on what I thought was a sewer drain problem but turned out to be something else. After the first visit, Elvis explained to me in detail his thought process, including drawing diagrams for me on his phone, and gave his recommendations. He then came out for a second visit to install a new toilet and check the drain line, which improved my initial toilet plumbing issue. The work was done carefully, cleanly, and Elvis satisfied my curiosity by answering all my questions while he was doing his work. In the end I feel I can trust these guys to just do work that is required, while keeping my informed, so I understand the what, why, and how. High recommendations from me.
Response from the owner:William Ryu, thank you for your business! Dr. Pipe is really appreciate your review. We were happy to help you. Have a good day!
We were fortunate enough to have the Dream Team of Elvis and Justin come today to tackle our laundry list of issues, which were quickly and efficiently resolved. Elvis remembered us from 2 years ago too! We are very satisfied customers and highly recommend this company–they are great.
Response from the owner:Hi, mtlebay! Thank you for sharing your positive review and desire to recommend us. We are happy to see our clients satisfied. Have a good day!
Elvis was fantastic, trouble shoot leak from main floor bathroom to basement. Helped fixed toilet too and basement sink leak and helped cauked bathroom crack from shower handle to fix leak. Professional and fast, highly recommended!!!
Response from the owner:Hi C T. It’s always a pleasure to help you. We are trying to do the best for our clients. Thank you for your business.
Very good service thank you
Response from the owner:Md sumon Ali, thank you for your high value! We were happy to help you.
We live in an 85-year-old building with some original fixtures. Since we moved into the building 15 years ago, I had been putting off some plumbing issues which should have been addressed at least 15 years before we moved in. I was hoping that things could wait until I retired and then we could do a complete reno. Such was not to be, and my significant other was very displeased to put it mildly.

I reached out to several plumbers suggested by our property manager. None of them seemed very interested in the work. I suppose they were all too aware of the challenges which older buildings can present. I then reached out to several more plumbers after doing some online searching.

Dr. Pipe got back to me with an estimate within an hour of my uploading to their contact page a description of the work needed along with photos. They said they could have a plumber out to me the following morning.

I was very impressed by Elvis, the plumber who showed up shortly after 9:00 the next morning. Whenever there was an issue, he would clearly explain what the issue was and the ways in which it could be addressed without attempting to sway me one way or the other. He was very conscientious and had an incredible work ethic. Although it was going to be a two-day job, rather than stopping at 5:00 on the first day, Elvis worked until 8:00 in the evening to ensure that we had a functioning toilet and water in our kitchen.

Would definitely recommend Dr. Pipe to anyone in need of a plumber. Not only did they fix our plumbing issues, they also saved my marriage.
Response from the owner:Ian T-W, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We completely understand the challenges that older buildings can present, and we’re thrilled that Elvis was able to help make the process smooth and stress-free for you. Going above and beyond to ensure your home remained functional—and keeping everyone happy—is exactly the level of service we strive for at Dr. Pipe. We’re so glad we could help resolve your plumbing issues (and maybe even save a marriage along the way!). Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Elvis.

Understanding Cast Iron Piping Systems

Cast iron plumbing parts have been around for centuries, and a cast iron sewer pipe or cast iron stack could be over 100 years old! Cast iron piping systems have made indoor plumbing a reality and cast iron has been proven reliable for its sturdiness and flexibility.

Like cast iron pans in the kitchen, cast iron stacks or piping systems are still used today for their fire resistance. Cast iron can also be cost-effective in commercial plumbing, although other, equally durable materials are available for any budget.

What to Know About Cast Iron Plumbing Systems?

There are many pros to using cast iron pipes, but several factors can also impact its lifespan.
Here’s what to know:

  • Cast iron piping is generally long-lasting, from 40 years to over 100 years for a durable cast iron stack 
  • Quality standards in cast iron pipes can be different by country 
  • Cast iron plumbing systems must be installed on the correct slope
  • Was the cast iron piping’s welded seam installed downwards
  • Tree roots and poor soil conditions can also damage cast iron.
  • Chemicals and cleaners poured down any drain can also affect its long-term durability. 

Inspecting Your Cast Iron Plumbing System

Our licensed and experienced plumbers begin with a thorough inspection of your cast iron plumbing system for signs of corrosion or cracks in cast iron pipes. 

We can assess a slow drain or sewer backup caused by a blocked cast iron plumbing system and explain possible fixes, including a temporary cast iron repair sleeve. 

Then, we give you options for cast iron pipe repair or a cast iron stack replacement. Our recommendations are designed to be efficient and affordable based on your budget and the current lifespan of your cast iron plumbing system.

Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Cast Iron Pipe Replacement Services

Do you require a cast iron pipe repair sleeve or a removal of old cast iron?

As cast iron repair and replacement experts, we use the latest techniques to remove old cast iron in an environmentally friendly way. We can transition your plumbing system to modern and efficient materials, including PVC pipe or HDPE.

Your plumbing problem may not be old cast iron pipes but more hazardous and uninsurable Polybutylene (Poly-B) pipes.

Removing and replacing Poly-B pipes for safer, longer-lasting plumbing systems is a good idea for your health and peace of mind.

Challenges with Old Cast Iron Pipes

When old cast iron piping systems become inefficient, corrosion-resistant alternatives like ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) can be the best option.

Cast iron piping systems often experience these challenges over time:

  • The rough internal surface of cast iron catches debris, resulting in a slow drain or sewer backups due to blockages
  • The metal in cast iron can rust from the inside out
  • Pinholes form in aboveground cast iron piping and bigger holes form when cast iron rots underground from the bottom up.
