You stop worrying about when the next backup will happen. No more calling emergency plumbers at midnight because raw sewage is coming up through your shower drain. No more explaining to guests why there’s a smell in the hallway.
Your water pressure improves across the entire house. Showers feel stronger. Multiple fixtures can run at once without slowing to a trickle. The constant gurgling in your drains disappears.
Your property value goes up instead of down. When you eventually sell, you’re not scrambling to disclose plumbing issues or negotiating thousands off the asking price. You’re showing buyers a home with modern PVC pipes that’ll last 50+ years. That’s what a real replacement does for you.
We’ve been replacing failing cast iron pipes in City Point, FL and throughout Brevard County for over two decades. We’re licensed, insured, and we own our hydro-excavation equipment, which means we’re not renting gear or subcontracting your job to someone else.
Most homes in City Point built before 1980 have cast iron sewer lines that are corroding from the inside out. Florida’s humidity accelerates the process. We’ve seen it hundreds of times: homeowners dealing with recurring backups, foul odors, and plumbers who keep snaking the line without addressing the real issue.
We do camera inspections first so you can see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. Then we give you a straight answer about whether you need a full replacement or if there’s a less invasive option. No upselling. No scare tactics. Just honest assessment from people who’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference.
We start with a camera inspection of your sewer line. You’ll see the footage yourself: the cracks, the corrosion, the sections that are completely deteriorated. This tells us exactly where the problem is and how far it extends.
If you need a full replacement, we use hydro-excavation to tunnel beneath your house without tearing up your floors. This method uses pressurized water to remove soil strategically, creating access points for the new pipe. Your landscaping stays intact. Your tile doesn’t get jackhammered. Your daily routine isn’t completely upended for weeks.
We remove the old cast iron and install new PVC piping that’s built to last. An engineer supervises the backfill process using crushed limestone to ensure everything is compacted correctly and your foundation stays stable. Once the new line is in, we test it thoroughly before we’re done. You get documentation of the work, warranty coverage, and a system that actually works the way it should.
Ready to get started?
You get a full camera inspection before any work starts. This isn’t a quick peek, it’s a thorough assessment that maps out every problem area in your cast iron sewer line. Many City Point homes built in the 1960s and 70s have pipes that look fine on the outside but are completely corroded inside.
The replacement itself uses trenchless technology whenever possible. That means we’re not digging a trench across your entire yard or breaking through your concrete slab. We access the pipe through strategic entry points, remove the failing cast iron sections, and install new PVC that won’t rust, corrode, or deteriorate the way iron does.
You also get engineered backfill and compaction. This matters more than most people realize. Improper backfill can cause settling and foundation issues down the road. We do it right, with engineer oversight, so your home stays structurally sound. And because we’re licensed and insured in Florida, you have protection if anything goes wrong, which it won’t.
Financing is available with $0 down, and we’re currently offering $2,000 off qualifying replacements. That makes a real difference when you’re looking at a major investment in your home’s infrastructure.
If you’re dealing with recurring backups, multiple slow drains, or visible corrosion on exposed pipes, you’re likely past the point where repairs make sense. Cast iron pipes don’t fail in just one spot. When one section corrodes, the rest of the line is usually in similar condition.
A camera inspection shows you exactly what’s happening inside. If we see widespread rust buildup, cracks in multiple areas, or sections where the pipe wall has thinned significantly, replacement is the smarter move. Patching one problem area might buy you a few months, but you’ll be calling someone back when the next section fails.
In City Point, most cast iron pipes installed before 1975 are at the end of their lifespan. Florida’s climate accelerates corrosion because of humidity and the hydrogen sulfide gases that form in sewer lines. These gases turn into sulfuric acid, which eats away at iron from the inside. If your home is 40+ years old and still has original cast iron plumbing, it’s worth getting inspected even if you’re not having major issues yet.
Not with the hydro-excavation method we use. We tunnel beneath your house using pressurized water to remove soil, which gives us access to the pipes without destroying your floors, tile, or landscaping. This is a huge advantage over traditional excavation, which requires tearing up everything in the pipe’s path.
We create small access points where needed, typically outside the home or in areas that won’t require major reconstruction. The hydro-excavation process is precise enough that we can work around your foundation, existing utilities, and landscaping features without causing collateral damage.
Once the new PVC pipe is installed, we backfill with crushed limestone under engineer supervision. This ensures proper compaction so you don’t end up with settling or foundation issues later. Your yard might have a few small disturbed areas, but nothing like the trenches you’d see with conventional dig-and-replace methods. Most homeowners are surprised at how minimal the disruption actually is.
Most residential sewer line replacements take between two to five days, depending on the length of the run and how accessible your pipes are. That’s significantly faster than traditional excavation methods, which can drag on for weeks when you factor in floor removal, pipe replacement, and reconstruction.
The timeline breaks down like this: camera inspection and assessment usually happen on day one. If you approve the work, we schedule the replacement and start hydro-excavation. The actual pipe removal and PVC installation typically take one to three days. Backfill, compaction, and final testing add another day or so.
You’ll have limited water and sewer access during the active work, but we coordinate with you to minimize disruption. Most families stay in their homes during the process. It’s not convenient, but it’s manageable, and it’s a lot better than dealing with recurring backups and emergency plumber visits for the next several years.
Repairs might run you $500 to $2,000 depending on what needs fixing. A full replacement typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on the length of your sewer line, accessibility, and whether we’re replacing just the main line or branch lines too. That’s a significant difference upfront, but here’s what matters: repairs on failing cast iron are temporary.
If your pipes are corroded in multiple spots, you’re not fixing the problem, you’re delaying it. You’ll spend money on a repair this year, another repair next year, and eventually you’ll need a replacement anyway. By that point, you’ve thrown away thousands on patches that didn’t solve anything.
Replacement costs more now but eliminates the problem permanently. New PVC pipes last 50+ years. You won’t be dealing with backups, emergency calls, or water damage from failed lines. And if you’re planning to sell your home in the next decade, updated plumbing is a major selling point. Buyers and inspectors notice cast iron pipes, and it often becomes a negotiation point that costs you more than the replacement would have. We offer financing with $0 down and $2,000 off right now, which makes the investment more manageable.
If you’re already seeing symptoms like backups, slow drains, or foul odors, waiting increases your risk of a catastrophic failure. That means raw sewage flooding your home, extensive water damage, and emergency repairs that cost significantly more than a planned replacement.
Cast iron pipes don’t improve with time. Once corrosion starts, it accelerates. The structural integrity of the pipe weakens, and eventually it will collapse or rupture completely. When that happens, you’re not just paying for pipe replacement, you’re also paying for water damage restoration, mold remediation, and possibly foundation repairs if sewage has been leaking into the soil under your house.
There’s also the insurance angle. Florida insurers have become increasingly restrictive about covering damage from old plumbing systems. Many policies now exclude claims related to cast iron pipe failures in homes built before 1975. If your pipes fail and your insurance won’t cover the damage, you’re looking at tens of thousands in out-of-pocket costs. Getting ahead of the problem with a planned replacement protects you from that scenario and gives you control over the timeline instead of being forced into emergency mode.
We own our hydro-excavation equipment, which means we’re not renting gear or subcontracting your job. That matters because it gives us complete control over the process, timeline, and quality. You’re working directly with the people doing the work, not a middleman who’s coordinating multiple crews.
We’ve been doing this in City Point and Brevard County for over 20 years. We’ve seen every type of cast iron failure, every home configuration, and every complication that can come up during a replacement. That experience means fewer surprises, better problem-solving, and a finished job that’s done right the first time.
You also get transparency from the start. We show you the camera inspection footage so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. We explain what needs to be done and why, and we give you a clear estimate before any work begins. No hidden fees. No upselling services you don’t need. Just straightforward communication from licensed, insured professionals who’ve built a reputation on doing quality work. And right now, we’re offering $2,000 off with financing options that make this investment accessible when you need it most.
