Rust, scale and mineral deposits slowly shrink old drain lines until water has barely any room to flow.
Old galvanized and cast iron pipes rust from the inside. Rough rust nodules and mineral deposits narrow the bore and give grease and paper something to catch on, so clogs become more frequent as the pipe ages.
Hydro jetting removes loose scale and restores much of the pipe diameter, but heavily corroded pipe can be thin and fragile. A camera shows whether cleaning will help or whether replacing sections is the smarter plan, and we explain your options honestly.
Rough walls catch debris.
Flaking rust shows in drain water.
Removes loose scale and buildup.
Thin walls may not survive cleaning.
See the wall before choosing.
Older pipe benefits from a replacement budget.
Use the clog locator, ask the repair advisor or ballpark the cost.

It can last many decades, but it eventually corrodes through, especially at the bottom of the pipe.
Not always. A camera helps us recommend the sections that need it.
