Pipe Video Inspection
Options for eroded pipe repairs?
My house was built in the early 70s. The pipes are eroding and the subsequent erosion is clogging my drains, especially when doing laundry. I have had video inspection done by a professional plumber and know that they are eroded. What can be done to fix this recurrent issue?
Option 1. Have plumber do hydrojetting in all pipes including main line. Make sure to ask for degreaser treatment as well or you could do it yourself after hydro jetting. Hydrojetting will cut loose most but not all scum and grease and buildup but rust is still inside the pipes built up over years. Degreaser treatment after jetting will dissolve rest of the grease. You can buy it in home depot for $10/gal. "Citric Degreaser" 2-3 gallons for whole house is enough. Take 5 gal. bucket with 1/2 gal degreaser and fill up with hot water. dump it in all fixtures, leave it for over night( no usage of any drains) and repeat it in the morning. It should be done once a year at least to prolong the lifetime of your pipes.
Hydro jetting is less costly but it will last only maybe 2-3 years and warranty on that work is not good neither.
Option2. Replace pipes where needed. Get new pipes installed to get peace in mind and you will never deal with it again. Suggestion: plastic is better than galvanized or cast iron pipe.
If you need some quotes for any plumbing work you should post your project on freeplumbingbid.com and get some quotes from your local plumbers.
Good luck.
