Professional Drain Cleaning Service for Cast Iron Drain Pipes
Older homes, multi-family properties, and commercial buildings throughout Riverside County commonly rely on cast iron drain pipes. While durable, cast iron drain lines naturally deteriorate from the inside over time. Rust scale, mineral buildup, grease, and waste accumulation slowly restrict water flow, leading to frequent clogs, slow drains, odors, and recurring backups.

Why Cast Iron Drain Pipes Clog Over Time
Cast iron drain lines age differently than modern piping materials. Years of daily use expose the interior of the pipe to moisture, oxygen, and waste, which causes corrosion and scale to form along the inner walls. As this buildup thickens, the usable pipe diameter shrinks, sometimes by more than half.
Common symptoms include slow drains, frequent snaking that doesn’t last, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, and recurring blockages. Without proper cleaning, these issues tend to worsen over time and are often mistaken as signs that full pipe replacement is required. Our before and after drain line camera inspections determine what’s needed and if there is compromised sections of your drains, after cleaning, we can apply epoxy drain lining restoring your existing drain lines good as new.
What Is Drain Descaling and Cleaning?
Drain descaling and cleaning is a minimally invasive drain cleaning service that removes internal buildup from cast iron drain pipes without cutting into floors, walls, or concrete. At Accurate Leak Locators and Plumbing, this process focuses on high velocity flushing using hydro jetting, which safely clears years of accumulation from the interior of the pipe.
This method is highly effective for restoring proper drainage while avoiding unnecessary stress or damage to structurally sound cast iron pipes.
Controlled High-Pressure Hydro Jetting for Cast Iron Drains
Hydro jetting uses controlled high-pressure water to thoroughly clean the inside of cast iron drain lines. Unlike basic snaking, hydro jetting washes away rust scale, hardened debris, grease, and sediment that cling to pipe walls.
Our technicians carefully control water pressure based on pipe condition and age, ensuring the cleaning process is both effective and safe. This approach allows us to clean the entire pipe diameter, not just punch a temporary hole through a clog.
Hydro jetting is ideal for residential homes, HOA communities, apartment buildings, restaurants, medical offices, warehouses, and other commercial properties with aging drain systems.
Complimentary Before and After Camera Inspections
Every descaling and drain cleaning service from Accurate Leak Locators and Plumbing includes complimentary before and after camera inspections. This is a critical part of the process and one of the reasons our results are so reliable.
Before cleaning, we inspect the drain line to confirm the presence of scale buildup, identify problem areas, and verify the structural condition of the pipe. After hydro jetting, we re-inspect the line to confirm that buildup has been removed, flow has been restored, and the pipe remains intact.
These inspections provide clear visual proof of the results and help property owners make informed decisions about future maintenance.
How Long Do Descaling and Cleaning Results Last?
When performed correctly using professional hydro jetting and inspection, drain descaling results can last 10 years or longer for many properties. Longevity depends on usage patterns, pipe condition, and maintenance habits, but most residential, HOA, and commercial clients experience long-term improvement.
Routine drain maintenance and timely cleaning help prevent buildup from returning and significantly extend the usable life of cast iron drain systems.
