I had drain problems with my sink; they came out to fix it – but the problem persisted. I called them and they came out again to check. However, instead of trying again and doing a better job they said they would charge me the full amount again if they were to repeat the procedure. Really?!
Response from the owner:We are sorry to hear about your experience. Our goal is always to resolve the issue properly and provide clear communication about the work involved. In some cases, drain problems can have underlying causes that require further inspection or a different solution than the initial service, but we understand how frustrating this situation must have felt. Please contact us directly so we can review what happened and work toward a fair resolution. We value your feedback and the opportunity to make things right.

I had a running toilet in my bathroom and a basement shower spout that needed to be replaced. Elvis came and did a great job on both repairs. He arrived right on time, did the repairs quickly, and charged a very reasonable fee for the work. You’ll find that he is very personable, polite, considerate of his customers’ needs, and very happy to answer any questions. For any future plumbing repairs, Dr. Pipe is definitely the only company that I’ll ever call.

I received this name from a friend who was very happy with their job. I contacted them mid- morning Friday for a toilet that kept running. They told me they would be here between 1-4.Elvis arrived – punctual, professional, respectful and such a lovely person. He explained all about my toilet, as they are all different, and told me what had to be done. Of course I went ahead. He worked quickly, cleanly and at reasonable price. He checked the replaced part twice to make sure it was operating properly. Make sure you make note of this company and phone number. You will be very glad you did.

Thank you Elvis for a great job. You guys are terrific.

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.

Are your exposed cast iron pipes rusty, or is water backing up from your floor drains? Call Dr. Pipe for professional cast iron pipe repair services in Toronto!
