Descale Your Cast Iron Pipes Instead of Replacing

What Is Pipe Descaling?

Pipe Descaling is the process of removing the rusty flake scales that have built up inside cast-iron pipes, gradually using a descaling cable, with affixed descaling chain links. A set of tightly rigged chains, which hold steel nail scrapers on each chain link, rotates at high-speed, creating friction in a filing motion that shaves the rust off the pipes. As the rust particles drop to the bottom of the pipeline, it is pushed down the line with a high-pressure stream of water.The descaling process typically starts at the end of the drainage system and continues upward toward the opening. Descaling could be a tedious process of filing the clog-creating obstructions, hydro-jetting the loose scales, and video inspecting to ensure high-quality work. After the removal of the scales, the old cast-iron pipeline resembles a brand-new one in its look, circulation, as well as performance. Descaled cast-iron pipes function much better as those flaky obstructions that trap deposits every time a toilet is flushed are eliminated and the tendency of drains to stop up is minimized.
