About this service
What pipe descaling involves
Pipe descaling removes corrosion scale and tuberculation from the inside of old cast-iron drain lines to restore their inside diameter and flow.
This is planned, scheduled work — call or request an evaluation to book a time.
Signs you may need it
- Slow drains throughout an older building
- Repeated clogs in cast-iron stacks or laterals
- Camera footage showing heavy scale or tuberculation
What the visit typically covers
- Camera the line to see scale and wall condition
- Remove scale with descaling heads sized to the pipe
- Re-camera to review the result
| Usually a good fit | Not the right tool |
|---|---|
| Structurally sound cast iron with heavy interior scale | Pipe with holes, cracks, or a thin, failing wall — descaling can expose weakness and won't restore failed pipe |
| Preparing a line for further evaluation | Collapsed or badly offset sections |
Before you call or book
- •Share the building age and any past camera reports
- •Expect a camera inspection first
- •Plan for water use to be paused during the work
