I need an expert and correct opinion on cast iron plumbing. My house is 51 years old and a plumber has informed us that there is partial cast iron plumbing mostly in the master bathroom. He also indicated this is dangerous and given the age of the house, there may only be 5 years or so left of good life in these pipes and they would eventually have to be replaced.
SOMEONE please provide and accurate and correct analysis of cast iron piping, the dangers involved, the life capacity, etc.
I know replacement is $8,000-10,000 from estimates I have seen and that they would have to dig up our floors, etc.
Are there any alternatives or ways to prolong the life of cast iron piping?
