Cast-Iron Drain Line Replacement

Project Overview

Recurring clogs and a sewer smell in the hall bathroom led this Great Bridge homeowner to call us. Our camera inspection showed the original cast-iron drain under the floor had rusted through along the bottom and was partially collapsed.

We opened the floor, removed the failed cast iron back to solid pipe, and installed new Schedule 40 PVC drain and vent lines with a new cleanout, then re-plumbed the vanity, toilet and kitchen sink supplies in copper.

What We Did

Scope of work for this drain cleaning project in Great Bridge, Chesapeake:

  • Camera inspection of the line
  • Failed pipe removed
  • New PVC drain & vent
  • Cleanout installed
  • Floor & fixtures restored
Cast-Iron Drain Line Replacement in Great Bridge, Chesapeake

The Challenge

The cast iron had been patched before with rubber couplings and the joists around it had been notched deeply, so the new pipe had to be routed carefully while the framing was repaired.

  • Rusted-through cast iron
  • Sewer gas odor in bathroom
  • Previous rubber patch repairs
  • Notched floor joists
  • No accessible cleanout
  • Kitchen sink tied into same line

The Outcome

The bathroom and kitchen now drain freely, the odor is gone, and a new accessible cleanout means future maintenance takes minutes instead of a day.
