Sewage Stack Re-Pipe and Pro Vent Install in Galway

This one had been giving the homeowner headaches for a while. Years of buildup inside an old cast iron sewage stack had the drains running slow and backing up regularly. That's the kind of problem that doesn't get better on its own - it just gets worse until something finally gives.

Here's what we were working with: heavily corroded cast iron pipe with serious interior buildup clogging the flow. The old stack was past the point of cleaning. It needed to go. That's when re-piping becomes the right call, not just the easy one.

We pulled out the old stack and ran fresh PVC throughout, properly sizing and routing the new drain lines under the subfloor. We also added a pro vent to the system - that's what keeps air pressure balanced inside your drain lines, which prevents the gurgling, slow draining, and sewer gas issues that a lot of older homes deal with. It's a detail that gets skipped sometimes, but it makes a real difference in how the whole system performs long-term.

The new layout is clean, properly pitched, and built to handle the full load of the home without the constant headaches. No more backups. No more standing water. The homeowner gets to stop thinking about their drains, which is exactly where things should be.

If your drains have been slow, gurgling, or backing up, there's usually a reason - and drain cleaning alone doesn't always solve it. Sometimes the pipe itself is the problem. That's what leak detection and pipe repair is all about: getting to the actual source instead of just treating the symptoms.
