Not all replacements are equal. We’ve seen homes where cast iron pipes were “replaced” — but without permits or inspections. Later, buyers discovered the work wasn’t done correctly and had to pay again for a full underground pipe replacement.
Permitted work matters. A licensed plumber performing old cast iron pipe replacement ensures the job meets city code. Cast iron to PVC conversion requires proper slope, connections, and inspections to pass — and cutting corners can lead to leaks or failed sales.
Yes, pulling permits can add some cost. But compared to redoing the job later, it’s minor. Buyers are wary of unpermitted work, and sellers risk losing deals or slashing their price when paperwork is missing.
If you want peace of mind and lasting results, always choose pipe replacement services that include permits. It’s the only way to protect both your foundation and your investment.
