Insurance companies throughout Florida and Georgia are dealing with clients with cast iron pipe issues. Having them replaced is very expensive and messy. In fact, over 2.5 million homes in Florida built before 1975 have cast iron pipes, most of which are in the process of failure. An insurance claim to replace these pipes can can cost tens of thousands of dollars. But it doesn’t have to.
All piping materials corrode and deteriorate over time. “Nearly 75 percent of all utilities have corrosive soil conditions and combined with a high portion of old cast iron and ductile iron pipes, corrosion is ranked the second-highest reason for water main pipe failure in the United States.” according to a study by Steven Folkman, USU professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
