Cast Iron Pipe Repair & Restoration in Orlando, FL

Older Orlando homes carry cast-iron drains under slabs, patios, and driveways. Corrosion thins the walls, scale steals capacity, and joints open just enough for roots and sand to creep in. Drains slow, toilets gurgle, and wet spots show near baseboards or along the lateral path. We Fix Drains restores those pipes from the inside with trenchless methods that keep your yard intact and your floors in place. A licensed technician records HD video, maps depth and route, and explains findings in plain language. The crew cleans and descales the interior, installs a cured-in-place liner where structure needs support, and reconnects branches with smooth reinstatements. Shielded couplers lock transitions tight. You see the before/after footage, get a clear report, and gain a long-term fix built for Central Florida soil, weather, and water table.

How Our Cast Iron Pipe Repair Works (Start to Finish)

Here’s the step-by-step plan we follow so you see clear proof and get a result that lasts.

• Inspect & locate: Run an HD camera, mark depth and route, and flag scale, offsets, cracks, or bellies.
• Jet clean: Flush grease and soap film with high-pressure hydro jetting.
• Descale iron: Remove rust nodules and smooth rough walls for better flow.
• Install liner where needed: Pull a cured-in-place liner (CIPP) through existing cleanouts or small openings to seal joints and restore a slick interior.
• Reopen branches: Cut service tie-ins cleanly so paper and water glide past without snags.
• Secure transitions: Set shielded stainless couplers and torque bands to spec for tight, lip-free iron-to-PVC joints.
• Stabilize bedding: Compact around the pipe so alignment stays true under soil and driveway loads.
• Prove performance: Run a second camera pass and a multi-fixture flow test to confirm strong, smooth drainage.
• Deliver records: Provide before/after videos and a simple site sketch for your files, insurance, and resale.

Cast Iron Repair vs. Full Replacement in Orlando

Digging through slabs and landscapes brings dust, noise, and long downtime. Trenchless repair builds a new interior inside the old iron, so you keep the finishes and curb appeal. A liner seals micro-leaks that invite roots, blocks groundwater during summer storms, and restores a round, smooth path that resists future clogs. Full replacement still makes sense for collapsed sections with zero access or extreme misalignment. Our technician shows both paths on video, outlines access needs, and explains how each option fits your home’s layout, soil, and traffic loads. Homeowners often pick restoration for under-slab runs, driveway crossings, and landscaped areas because it solves the cause and avoids demolition.

Why Orlando Homes Benefit from Trenchless Cast Iron Restoration

Central Florida weather and soils push old iron hard. Sandy backfill shifts after heavy rain, a high water table feeds infiltration, and tree roots chase moisture through tiny gaps at joints. Those forces turn rough interiors into clog factories. Trenchless restoration addresses each stress point without trenches. The liner stops root entry, seals leak paths, and replaces a jagged surface with a slick one. Properly torqued shielded couplers protect mixed-material joints under driveway loads. Cleanouts remain reachable for quick checks. The system handles holiday guests, laundry days, and storm weeks with steady flow and quiet operation.

Follow-up support stays a call away for routine maintenance, quick checks after big storms, or new fixture tie-ins.

Common Orlando Problems We Solve

FAQs: Cast Iron Pipe Repair in Orlando, FL

1) How long does cast iron restoration take in a typical home?
Most residential projects finish within one to two workdays, including cleaning, lining, reinstatements, and testing, with access restored the same day.

2) Will lining reduce the pipe’s flow capacity?
A smooth, centered liner usually improves flow over rough cast iron because it removes scale and snag points that grab paper and debris.

3) Can you restore only part of the system?
Yes. Targeted liners seal specific defects, while longer runs make sense when multiple joints leak or scale covers long sections. The camera video guides that choice.

4) What happens at mixed joints where iron meets PVC?
We set shielded stainless couplers sized for both materials and torque bands to spec. That keeps alignment tight and prevents lips that catching waste.

5) Do I still need maintenance after restoration?
Good habits matter. Keep grease out of sinks, trash wipes, and schedule periodic camera checks. Most homes benefit from simple, low-effort upkeep.
