the hidden risks for sellers who ignore cast iron pipes

Thinking of selling your home? Overlooking old cast iron pipes — or trying to cut corners — can backfire in expensive ways. At In-House Plumbing Company, we’ve seen it happen:

  • Sellers who replaced cast iron without pulling a permit had buyers walk away or demand the work be redone — this time legally.
  • Deals collapse when buyers discover underground pipe replacement is needed and the seller refuses to address it.
  • Spot repairs or trenchless fixes may look cheaper, but they rarely satisfy inspectors or buyers — leaving the seller paying twice.

The cast iron pipe replacement cost is never small, but failing to address it can be worse. Buyers today know to ask about plumbing, and a surprise during inspection often leads to big concessions or lost sales.

The smart move for sellers? Be transparent. Handle an old cast iron pipe replacement the right way — with permits, proper materials, and a contractor who does full cast iron to PVC conversion. It protects your sale, your price, and your peace of mind.
