Corroded Pipe Repair
Cast iron and steel rust from the inside out. Lining restores the pipe wall and gives you a smooth new surface.
The details, in plain English.
Cast iron and steel pipes corrode over decades, forming rough scale that narrows the pipe, snags debris and eventually perforates the wall. Hydrogen sulfide gases in sewers speed the process.
After descaling, a CIPP liner creates a new smooth pipe inside the corroded one, sealing pinholes and giving the pipe a fresh interior. The liner does not rust, so the line can serve for decades more.
Best for
- Cast iron drains and stacks
- Steel lines with heavy scale
- Pipes with pinhole leaks
- Buildings from the 1950s to 1980s

Questions, answered
Can heavily rusted pipe be lined?
Often yes, if it is structurally intact enough to clean and hold the liner. The camera shows whether it is a good candidate.
Does lining stop rust?
The liner isolates the old pipe from the flow, which stops the inside corrosion that limits its life.
