Cast Iron Pipes

Cast iron pipes are durable, heavy-duty plumbing pipes traditionally used for underground water and sewer systems. Made from molten iron poured into molds, they are known for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and long lifespan. These pipes are often characterized by their thick walls and smooth interior surfaces, which help maintain water flow and prevent buildup. While they are no longer as common with modern plastics, cast iron pipes are still valued for their reliability and ability to contain aggressive, waste, or sewage materials safely underground. Proper maintenance ensures their durability over many decades.
