Facts
Cast iron was originally used because of its durability and expected longevity. It could transfer the flow of hot water and sewage without retaining damages. However, with home updates, home builders and plumbers have switched to PVC for ease of installment. If you’re looking to replace rusted cast iron pipes, consider recycling them before throwing them in your trash can.
