FROM OLD CAST IRON TO A BETTER TOMORROW

Your Sewer System Is Hidden Beneath Your Home. The Problems Don’t Have to Be.

A deteriorating sewer line can create recurring backups, slow drainage, sewage leaks, and damage beneath a home’s foundation.

Our process begins by understanding the condition of the existing piping. Once the problem is identified, we can evaluate the available replacement options and develop a project-specific scope of work.

UNDERSTANDING CAST IRON SEWER FAILURE

Is Your Old Cast Iron Sewer Line Starting to Fail?

Many older homes throughout Plano, Richardson, Garland, and Dallas–Fort Worth contain original cast iron drainage systems. As these systems age, corrosion and physical deterioration can interfere with drainage and compromise the piping.

01

Recurring Sewer Backups

If your sewer line requires repeated cleaning, there may be an underlying problem such as corrosion, root intrusion, pipe damage, or improper slope. A camera inspection can help identify visible defects and recurring obstructions.

02

Corroded or Deteriorating Pipe

Cast iron sewer piping can corrode internally and externally over time. Deterioration may reduce the effective pipe opening, weaken the pipe walls, or contribute to leaks and failures.

03

Cracked or Collapsed Sewer Lines

Broken or collapsed pipe sections can restrict drainage and allow wastewater to escape into surrounding soil. The extent and location of the damage help determine the appropriate repair or replacement approach.

04

Under-Slab Sewer Problems

Cast iron piping beneath a concrete slab can be difficult to access. We evaluate the locations of damaged piping and possible access routes before developing a replacement plan.

05

Root Intrusion and Pipe Separation

Tree roots can enter sewer piping through damaged joints and openings. Offset or separated pipe connections may also contribute to recurring blockages and drainage problems.

06

Sewer Bellies and Improper Slope

A sewer belly is a low section of piping where water can collect. Depending on its severity and location, the condition may contribute to recurring drainage and blockage problems.

IMPORTANT: Not every aging cast iron sewer line requires complete replacement. A sewer inspection and property evaluation can help determine whether localized repair, partial replacement, or a more extensive replacement is appropriate.
THE CISRS REPLACEMENT PROCESS

Four Steps to a Better Sewer System.

Before replacing a cast iron sewer line, it is important to identify the problem, evaluate the property, and understand the available replacement options.

01

Inspect

We begin by evaluating the existing sewer system. Specialized sewer camera equipment helps us visually inspect accessible portions of the sewer line and identify visible defects, blockages, and deteriorated piping.

02

Evaluate

We determine the apparent extent and location of the sewer problem. We then evaluate whether the line should be repaired, replaced along the existing route, or rerouted through an alternate location.

03

Prepare Your Estimate

We develop a written estimate describing the proposed work. The estimate addresses the planned sewer replacement or reroute, anticipated access and excavation, and the expected project schedule.

04

Replace or Reroute

Once the proposed work is approved, we complete the planned replacement or reroute using approved piping and installation methods. Required permits, inspections, and applicable local requirements are addressed as part of the project.

Every home is different. The condition of the existing sewer system, access to the piping, fixture locations, and available drainage routes all influence the appropriate replacement plan.

YOUR SEWER REPLACEMENT OPTIONS

Cast Iron Sewer Replacement or Sewer Rerouting?

There is more than one way to address a deteriorating cast iron sewer system. We evaluate the location of the damaged piping, the existing fixture connections, the available drainage routes, and the property’s construction before recommending a proposed scope of work.

OPTION 01

Cast Iron Sewer Replacement

Replace the damaged sewer piping along an appropriate portion of its existing route.

In some homes, retaining the existing sewer route is the appropriate replacement approach. The work may involve accessing piping beneath a slab, inside a garage, in a crawl space, or beneath the yard.

  • Replace documented damaged or deteriorated pipe sections.
  • Install approved new sewer piping.
  • Address required drain connections.
  • Complete applicable inspections.
  • Include specified excavation and restoration in the estimate.
OPTION 02

Sewer Line Rerouting

Establish an alternate drainage route for eligible fixtures and sewer branches.

Depending on the home’s layout, fixture locations, available slope, and connection points, it may be possible to reroute portions of the sewer system outside the home.

  • Evaluate alternate drain routes.
  • Identify accessible fixture connections.
  • Determine possible exterior sewer routing.
  • Evaluate available slope, utility conflicts, and tie-in points.
  • Develop a reroute scope that meets applicable local requirements.

Which option is appropriate for your home? The answer depends on the sewer inspection, the property’s construction, and whether the proposed replacement or reroute can be completed in compliance with applicable plumbing and local permitting requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions About Cast Iron Sewer Replacement?

Understanding your sewer problems is the first step toward choosing an appropriate repair or replacement plan.

Ask a Sewer Specialist →
Does every old cast iron sewer line need to be replaced?

No. The age of a cast iron sewer line alone does not establish that the entire system requires replacement. The appropriate repair scope depends on the pipe’s actual condition, the location of the defects, and whether localized repairs are practical.

How do I know whether my cast iron sewer line is failing?

Recurring backups, slow drainage, sewage odors, and repeated drain cleaning can indicate a sewer problem. A camera inspection can help identify visible defects such as corrosion, cracks, root intrusion, broken sections, or improper slope. Additional testing may be needed depending on the findings.

Can cast iron sewer lines be replaced beneath a concrete slab?

Yes. Under-slab sewer replacement may require access through the slab, excavation, tunneling, or another appropriate approved method. The necessary work depends on the location of the damaged piping, the home’s construction, and applicable local requirements.

Can my sewer line be rerouted outside the house instead?

Sometimes. An exterior sewer reroute must have suitable fixture connections, adequate drainage slope, available space, an acceptable tie-in point, and a route that meets applicable local plumbing requirements. We evaluate those conditions before proposing a reroute.

Can old cast iron sewer piping be replaced with PVC?

Approved PVC drainage piping may be used for sewer replacement where permitted by the applicable plumbing code and project conditions. Proper pipe sizing, slope, bedding, connections, installation, and inspection requirements must be addressed.

How much does cast iron sewer line replacement cost?

The cost depends on the length and depth of piping, excavation requirements, access beneath concrete, the number of drain connections, permits, and restoration work. We prepare a project-specific estimate after evaluating the sewer system and property.

How long does a cast iron sewer replacement take?

The construction schedule depends on the replacement route, the amount of excavation, access requirements, permit and inspection scheduling, and the extent of restoration. We discuss the anticipated project timeline when preparing the proposed scope of work.

Do you serve Plano, Richardson, and Garland?

Yes. Plano, Richardson, and Garland are primary service areas for CISRS. We also serve additional communities throughout Dallas–Fort Worth. Call with your property address to discuss scheduling and availability.
