[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our drain line recently backed up - we were home so the flooding wasn’t terrible. We had someone come out and do a camera inspection today and they recommended descaling the old cast iron line (house is about 90 years old). Has anyone been there, done that? Company quoted about $3800 and I’d like to get some other quotes - any recommendations? [/quote] Sorry OP, that sounds like a temporary fix. We were in the same situation a few years ago and decided to fully address it and have ours pipe bursted and replaced in full with pvc. This can cost anywhere from $15-$40k. Did they confirm that there weren’t any holes or bends where the pipe is failing?[/quote] OP here - yes, they confirmed with a camera that the pipe itself is structurally fine, and that the issue is buildup on the walls of the pipe. There aren't tree roots or anything that have come through the walls of the pipe, either. [/quote]
