Cast Iron Pipes

Owning a home requires regular upkeep and maintenance, from cleaning out gutters to replacing HVAC filters. But what happens when the home you’ve worked so hard to take care of sustains severe property damage because of a problem you can’t even see?

Sadly, this scenario is a reality for many homeowners in the U.S. with homes built before 1975. The culprit behind the damage: cast iron pipe plumbing systems that are prematurely failing due to corrosion. Worse yet, insurance companies make it difficult for homeowners struggling with bad cast iron pipes to get the compensation they need to replace the pipes and repair the damage done to their property. Insurance companies often wrongfully deny or underpay claims, blaming the damage caused by the cast iron pipes on common “wear and tear.”

That isn’t right. That’s why the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan’s Insurance Recovery Group are helping homeowners fight back against insurance companies acting in bad faith. We’ve helped thousands of homeowners recover the compensation they need. If you suspect your home may have failing cast iron pipes, fill out our case review form for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

Cast Iron Pipes Lawsuit FAQs

  • The Problem With Cast Iron Pipes

    New homes are generally equipped with PVC piping, but prior to 1975, cast iron was the piping material used in most homes in America.

    Although cast iron pipes are supposed to have a lifespan of 50-75 years, and should still be functional today, they are breaking down and failing all across the country at a rapid pace due to premature corrosion. In some homes, cast iron pipes failed less than 25 years after installation, leading to major headaches and costly damage for homeowners.
