Cast Iron Pipe Lining in Florida

The pricing range for residential cast iron pipe lining in Florida generally runs between $175 and $250 per linear foot, plus variables for pipe system complexity and access conditions. Total project cost depends on the linear footage of pipe, the number of bends and transitions, and access conditions at the home. A free camera inspection produces an exact measured proposal before any number is quoted.

Most homes are finished in 1 to 3 days. Compare that to traditional dig-and-replace, which typically runs 4 to 6 weeks once you count demolition, plumbing work, concrete curing, and rebuilding everything that was torn out. Your plumbing is back in service the same day the lining is completed.

No. You stay in your home the entire time. The work happens inside your pipes through existing access points, so there is no demolition and no construction zone. Water service pauses only for short stretches while the liner is being installed and cured, and our crew tells you exactly when before it happens.

Epoxy coating sprays a thin layer of resin on the inside of the pipe. It can cover small surface flaws, but it adds no strength, which is why the industry classifies it as the lowest repair class and why it carries only a 3 to 10 year warranty. UV-CIPP installs a solid structural liner that works as a brand-new pipe inside the old one, strong enough to stand on its own even if the old pipe fails completely. That strength is why it carries a lifetime warranty.

Every Southeast Services UV-CIPP installation comes with a lifetime warranty covering both labor and materials. It transfers to the new owner if you ever sell your home, and the full terms are provided in writing before you sign anything.

Almost all of them, but not every single one. If a section of pipe has fully collapsed, separated badly at a joint, or been fractured by tree roots, there is nothing solid left to line against. In those cases we repair that one spot with a small targeted excavation and line the rest of the run. The free camera inspection tells us which situation you have before anything is quoted.

If your Florida home was built before 1980, it was almost certainly built with cast iron drain pipes. Common warning signs are slow drains, gurgling sounds, sewer odors, and backups that keep coming back. The only way to know the actual condition is a camera inspection, which we provide free.

The liner goes into your pipe soft and flexible, saturated with resin. A train of ultraviolet LED lights is then pulled through it at a controlled speed. The UV light hardens the resin in minutes, turning the soft liner into a rigid, structural pipe bonded inside your old one. It is fast, precise, and unaffected by weather or temperature.

In most cases, yes. Sewer odors in older homes usually come from cracks, failed joints, and corrosion holes that let sewer gas escape the pipe. The liner seals the entire run as one continuous, jointless pipe, closing off those escape paths. If an odor comes from a different source, the camera inspection will identify it.

For a typical 2,000 square foot Florida home with about 90 feet of under-slab pipe, trench-and-replace runs $37,000 to $89,000 once demolition, restoration, and displacement are counted. Lining the same home typically runs $15,000 to $22,000 all-in. Most homeowners save between $20,000 and $70,000, up to 75% less.

Yes. UV-CIPP lining meets ASTM standards F1216, F1743, and F2019, and every Southeast Services installation complies with the Florida Building Code. We handle all permit research, applications, and inspections ourselves, and permit fees are included in every proposal. You never pull a permit yourself.

A certified inspector runs a high-definition camera through your entire drain system and documents the condition of every pipe, joint, and connection. You get copies of every video, an honest explanation of what we found, and, if lining makes sense for your home, a written proposal with measured footage and one all-inclusive price. No obligation, no pressure.

The lateral is the pipe that carries wastewater from your house out to the city sewer line, usually running under your yard toward the street. It ages and corrodes just like the pipes under your slab, and it can be lined the same way. A complete inspection covers it so nothing gets missed.

The cured liner adds 50 or more years of service life. It is a Class I structural repair, meaning it performs as a standalone pipe, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty on labor and materials for as long as you own the home, transferable if you sell.

Very little. We work through existing access points like cleanouts and vent stacks, so there is no need to move furniture or clear rooms the way you would for construction. Your project plan spells out the schedule and the short windows when water will be off. That is it.
