Pipe Descaling done right.
Older cast iron lines accumulate rust nodules and mineral scale that shrink the pipe and catch debris. Over time a 4-inch pipe can behave like a much smaller one.
We descale with specialized cutters and jetting to remove buildup, then camera the pipe. Depending on what we see, we may suggest lining the pipe to prevent the scale from returning.
