What Homeowners Say

Real reviews from Austin homeowners

★★★★★

Our 1970s home had the original cast iron pipes that were completely corroded. Got 3 quotes through this site and saved over $4,000 compared to the first company we called!

The plumber they connected us with was incredible. Explained everything, showed us the camera footage, and finished the job in 2 days. Highly recommend!

I was dreading this project but it was so easy. Filled out the form, got quotes the same day, and had new pipes within a week. Wish I'd done it sooner!

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about cast iron pipe replacement

Costs vary based on the extent of work needed. Typical prices in Texas: Camera inspection: $200-$400, Spot repairs: $800-$3,500, Partial replacement: $5,000-$15,000, Full replacement: $12,000-$30,000. Trenchless methods cost 20-30% more but save on restoration. Getting multiple quotes is the best way to ensure fair pricing for your specific situation.

Most residential cast iron pipe replacements take 2-5 days, depending on how much pipe needs replacing, whether trenchless methods can be used, permit requirements in your area, and accessibility of the pipes.

Yes, most plumbing work in Austin requires permits. The good news is that licensed plumbers handle the permit process for you. The cost (usually $75-200) is typically included in their quote.

Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover pipe replacement due to age or wear. However, if the pipes fail suddenly and cause water damage, the resulting damage may be covered. Check your policy or call your insurance company to understand your specific coverage.

Trenchless (or "no-dig") methods replace pipes without digging up your entire yard. Techniques include pipe lining (a resin-coated liner is inserted and cured inside the old pipe) and pipe bursting (a new pipe is pulled through while breaking apart the old one). Trenchless costs 20-30% more but saves on landscape restoration and is faster.
