AfterBefore and after
BeforeAfterThe problem
Old cast iron drain lines in this Landrum home's basement needed to come out, and the drain needed a new route through the basement and out of the house.
What we did
- Cut out the old cast iron drain sections
- Ran new PVC drain lines and a new drain stack in the basement
- Trenched the floor for the rerouted line and sealed it before the patch
- Ran new PVC outside to a new cleanout
The result
New PVC drain lines and a new drain stack in the basement, a rerouted line under the floor that was sealed before the concrete patch, and new PVC outside to a new cleanout.
Questions about this job
How long does cast iron drain pipe last?
Often 50 to 70 years, though it varies with water and soil. Many Upstate homes built mid-century are reaching that point.
Do you have to replace all the cast iron at once?
No. Often only the failing sections are cut out and replaced, leaving the healthy pipe in place. A camera inspection shows which parts need to go. See drain repair.
Why add an outside cleanout?
It gives a straight way into the drain line for clearing a clog or running a camera, without going through the house.
