When Cast Iron Needs Replacing

• Visible rust flaking inside or outside the system
• Leaks at bolted joints despite repeated resealing
• Cracks along long runs
• Sections separating under their own weight
• Repeated patch repairs failing to hold

Repair vs Full Replacement

• Rust expands internally before it becomes visible on the surface
• Surface paint does not resolve structural decay
• Individual sections may be replaceable if corrosion is limited
• If multiple sections show decay, full replacement is safer long-term
• Brackets at risk once cast iron sections start to fail under weight
