Commercial Cast Iron Pipe Repair
Cast iron pipes are common in older commercial buildings, high-rises, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities. Over time, these pipes corrode, crack, or collapse—causing drainage issues, sewer odors, backups, and property damage. At Pipeliner Pros, we specialize in non-invasive cast iron pipe repair methods that restore flow and extend pipe life without disrupting your business.
Why Cast Iron Fails
- Corrosion: Decades of exposure to wastewater, cleaning agents, and environmental conditions cause interior scaling, flaking, and wall thinning.
- Root Intrusion: Tree roots penetrate weakened joints and fractures, restricting flow and damaging the pipe structure.
- Structural Collapse: Over time, the pipe loses its integrity, leading to bellies, offsets, or total collapse.
- Leaks and Drain Odors: As gaskets fail or cracks develop, sewer gases and moisture escape, triggering code violations and tenant complaints.
Our Approach to Cast Iron Pipe Repair
We offer a range of trenchless repair options for commercial cast iron systems—from vertical stacks to underground laterals—minimizing downtime, preserving interior finishes, and keeping businesses operational during the process.
1. Video Inspection and Diagnostics
We begin every project with a detailed camera inspection to locate cracks, buildup, corrosion, and break points. This helps us identify the exact cause of failure and recommend the right repair approach.
2. Descaling and Cleaning
Our mechanical cleaning tools remove years of scale, rust, and buildup—restoring full diameter and preparing the interior surface for lining or coating.
3. Trenchless Lining and Coating Options
- CIPP Lining: For structurally compromised lines, we install a cured-in-place pipe liner that forms a new pipe inside the old one—seamless, jointless, and built to last 50+ years.
- Epoxy Coating: For pipes that are still structurally sound but suffering from corrosion or leaks, we apply internal epoxy coatings to seal the pipe, eliminate odors, and improve flow without removing the host pipe.
4. Sectional Spot Repairs
For isolated failures, we use sectional liners or precision cutting and reinstatement tools to repair only the damaged portion—saving time and cost without compromising quality.
Benefits for Commercial Properties
- Minimal Business Disruption: Our methods avoid demolition and downtime. Most repairs are completed with access from cleanouts, restrooms, or rooftop vents.
- Code Compliance: Repairs are compliant with commercial plumbing codes, health department standards, and fire safety guidelines.
- Cost Control: No flooring removal, no drywall repair, and no excavation means significantly lower total project cost.
- Tenant Satisfaction: Quiet, odor-free repairs reduce tenant complaints and avoid unexpected lease impacts.
- Long-Term Value: Our trenchless solutions are built to last, reducing emergency calls and repeated disruptions for years to come.
