Pipe Descaling Services

Restore flow and extend the life of your old pipes — without a full replacement.

Clean the Inside of Your Pipes — No Digging Required

If your cast iron pipes are decades old, there’s a good chance they’re full of rust, scale, and hardened gunk. That buildup narrows the flow, slows drains, and can eventually cause full blockages or backups — even if the pipe itself isn’t broken.

Pipe descaling removes years of corrosion and debris without replacing your entire system. At E-Drains, we use specialized tools to grind away the buildup inside your drain lines and restore flow — fast. It’s trenchless, effective, and a fraction of the cost of full replacement.

We also offer pipe replacement when it’s needed — but many homeowners don’t need to make that investment right away. We’ll help you understand the condition of your pipes and make the best call for your home and your budget. (Considering a full replacement? Learn more about our sewer line repair services.)

Why Descaling Might Be the Right Call

Extend the Life of Old Pipes

We remove years of scale, rust, and buildup from inside your cast iron pipes using advanced descaling tools.

Pipe descaling is done through existing cleanouts — no digging or demolition required.

Restore Flow & Prevent Clogs

Descaling smooths pipe walls, improving flow and reducing the chance of future blockages.

Camera Verification Included

We use a sewer camera before and after to show you exactly what was removed.

Great Alternative to Replacement

In many cases, descaling extends the life of your pipes without the cost of full replacement.

Just an awesome experience all around. Went through 3 plumbers (2 big companies, 1 small) all who provided estimates 2-4X the reasonable price, and none of whom took the time to properly evaluate our situation. I contacted E-drains at 230pm, and they had a tech over by 4pm, who went above and beyond to evaluate and rectify our situation (long story, but corroded pipes, mud in the sewer line, etc). He cleared our pipes and prevented us from undertaking a $5k plus job, and they did it for half the price of our first two quotes. Professional, quality work, affordable, and honest. What more can you ask for?

Frequently Asked Questions About Pipe Descaling

What is pipe descaling?

It’s the process of removing rust, mineral buildup, and hardened gunk from the inside of old, cast iron pipes — to restore flow and prevent future clogs.

If you have older cast iron plumbing and experience frequent slow drains or backups, you may have scale buildup inside the pipes. A camera inspection can confirm it.

No — we use specialized tools that remove buildup without harming the pipe walls. It’s a safe, trenchless solution for restoring older pipes.

If your pipes are structurally sound but full of buildup, descaling is a faster and more affordable option that can extend the life of your system.
