Is Rough Pipe Causing Your Backups?

Cast iron pipes naturally rust and develop "scale" over time—jagged deposits that narrow the pipe and act like sandpaper. This rough surface snags toilet paper and waste, causing backups in the exact same spot over and over again.

  • Frequent clogs even after snaking
  • Toilet paper coming back up floor drains
  • Original cast iron pipes (homes 40+ years old)
  • Slow draining throughout the house

We Mill It Smooth Again

You don't always need to replace old pipes. Omaha Drain uses advanced "chain knocking" technology to mill the inside of your cast iron sewer line. This specialized tool spins at high speed to grind away years of rust and scale, flushing it out to the city main.

The result is a smooth, full-diameter pipe that flows like new—without the expense and mess of jackhammering up your basement floor.

★★★★★ 4.9/5 Rating
"Saved me $10,000."

Another company told me I had to replace my whole sewer line. Omaha Drain descaled it and it looks brand new on the camera.

"No more weekly backups."

Our toilet paper kept getting stuck on the old iron pipe. After they milled it, we haven't had a single issue.

"Clean and professional."

They explained exactly what the process was and showed me the before and after video. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Descaling involves using a rotating chain tool inside the pipe to grind away rust and calcium buildup (scale). It essentially sands the inside of your pipe smooth without needing to dig it up.

When done by professionals, no. We inspect the pipe first to ensure it still has structural integrity. The chains are designed to remove the buildup without eating through the pipe wall itself.

Descaling can extend the life of your cast iron pipes by decades. It removes the rough surface that causes clogs, essentially resetting the clock on scale accumulation.

It is much cheaper and less invasive than replacement. However, if the bottom of your pipe is completely rotted out, replacement might be necessary. We always start with a camera inspection to give you the honest answer.
