Drain Repipe Services for Slab and Raised Foundation Homes
Failing drain pipes can cause recurring clogs, sewage backups, foul odors, and hidden water damage. In older homes, underslab and under house drain lines are often made of materials that deteriorate over time. We provide complete drain repipe services for slab foundation and raised foundation homes, replacing damaged drain and sewer piping with modern, code approved materials designed to last.
Our drain repipe solutions are built for long term performance, not temporary fixes.
Drain Repipe for Slab Foundation Homes
Homes built on slab foundations often have drain and sewer lines buried beneath concrete. Over time, these pipes can crack, collapse, or corrode due to soil movement, age, root intrusion, or material failure.
When drain problems become frequent, repeated spot repairs under the slab often lead to more issues elsewhere in the system. A full or sectional underslab drain repipe replaces failing piping and restores proper drainage throughout the home.
Underslab Drain Repipe Process
- Sewer camera inspection to assess pipe condition
- Identification of failed or compromised drain lines
- Concrete cutting and controlled excavation
- Removal of damaged piping
- Installation of new drain lines with proper slope
- Pressure and flow testing
- Backfill and concrete restoration where required
Drain Repipe for Raised Foundation Homes
Raised foundation homes provide easier access to drain piping beneath the structure. However, many of these homes still contain aging cast iron, clay, or deteriorated piping that leads to leaks, corrosion, and frequent blockages.
A raised foundation drain repipe allows for complete replacement of under house piping without breaking concrete floors, making it an efficient and cost effective solution.
Benefits of Raised Foundation Drain Repipes
- No slab cutting required
- Easier access for full pipe replacement
- Improved drainage flow
- Reduced risk of future backups
- Cleaner and faster installation process
Drain Pipe Materials We Use
ABS Drain Pipe
ABS is a durable, lightweight plastic pipe commonly used for residential drain repipes. It offers strong impact resistance, smooth flow characteristics, and reliable performance for interior drain systems.
Cast Iron Drain Pipe
Cast iron is often used in exposed or noise sensitive areas due to its strength and sound dampening properties. We install cast iron where required by code or where durability and sound reduction are priorities.
PVC SDR35 Sewer Pipe
PVC SDR35 is commonly used for underground sewer laterals and exterior drain lines. It provides excellent corrosion resistance and flexibility for underground applications while maintaining structural strength.
Material selection depends on pipe location, code requirements, exposure, and system design.
Signs You May Need a Drain Repipe
- Recurring sewer backups or slow drains
- Frequent clogs affecting multiple fixtures
- Sewer odors inside or outside the home
- Camera inspection showing cracked or collapsed pipes
- Corroded cast iron or deteriorated clay piping
- Multiple previous drain repairs
Why Homeowners Choose Drain Repiping
Spot repairs can temporarily relieve symptoms but do not address widespread pipe deterioration. Many homeowners choose to repipe their drains to avoid repeated plumbing disruptions, property damage, and escalating repair costs.
A properly installed drain repipe restores full system reliability and protects the home for decades.
Drain Repipe Cost Considerations
The cost of a drain repipe depends on foundation type, pipe length, number of fixtures, accessibility, and material selection. Slab foundation repipes typically require more labor due to concrete access, while raised foundation repipes are generally more straightforward. We provide clear recommendations after inspection so homeowners can make informed decisions.
Professional Drain Repipe Solutions
If your home is experiencing ongoing drain issues, a drain repipe may be the most effective long term solution. Proper diagnostics and quality materials make the difference between another temporary repair and a permanent fix.
