Restoring the Flow in Older Michigan Homes

If your home in West Bloomfield, Birmingham, or Royal Oak was built several decades ago, your sewer system likely relies on cast iron pipes. While durable, cast iron is prone to a process called “tuberculation”—the internal buildup of rust, calcium, and iron scale. This rough surface acts like sandpaper, snagging debris and causing recurring Main Sewer Line clogs.

At Sewer23™, we provide specialized Cast Iron Pipe Descaling. This process removes decades of buildup without the need for expensive Sewer Line Replacement, effectively “resetting the clock” on your plumbing.

Are your drains constantly slow? Don’t just snake it again. Call Sewer23™ at (248) 993-3423 to see if descaling can save your pipes.

The Problem: Why Snaking Isn’t Enough

When a standard drain snake hits a scaled-up cast iron pipe, it simply pokes a small hole through the soft debris. It does nothing to remove the hard, jagged rust on the pipe walls.

• The Result: The clog returns within weeks as hair and paper snag on the rough interior.

• The Damage: If left untreated, scaling can lead to a Collapsed Drain Repair as the pipe wall thins and eventually fails.

Our Advanced Descaling Process

We use a two-step “Search and Destroy” method to clean your lines:

1. HD Video Mapping

Every job starts with a Camera Inspection. We need to ensure the cast iron is thick enough to handle descaling. If the pipe is too thin, we may recommend Trenchless Pipe Lining instead.

2. Specialized Milling & Jetting

Using high-speed rotating chains and professional Hydro-Jetting, we scrub the interior walls of the pipe. This process grinds away the rust and flushes it out of the system, leaving the pipe walls smooth and wide open.

Signs Your Pipes Need Descaling

• Recurring Backups: You have to call a plumber for the same Main Sewer Line every 6–12 months.

• Bad Odors: Debris trapped in the scale begins to rot, causing a sewage smell near your drains.

• Gurgling Sounds: Air bubbles struggling to get past a restricted, scaled-down pipe.

• Slow Sump Pump Activity: Buildup in the discharge line can put extra strain on your Sump Pump.
