Cast Iron Sewer Replacement in Germantown

Cast iron drains in older homes corrode from the inside, especially along the bottom of the pipe. Over time this leaves cracks, holes and a rough surface that catches waste. Replacing the cast iron sewer outside the home is often the first step. We can also evaluate under-slab cast iron and discuss lining or rerouting choices. New PVC or HDPE will not rust or scale the same way.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Germantown, MD

Trenchless technology, such as pipe bursting or pipe lining, offers a less invasive option to traditional methods.

Both methods greatly reduce the need for excavation, preserving your yard and landscaping in Germantown, MD while providing a long-lasting solution.
