For this homeowner in Fort Thomas, it was time to say goodbye to aging cast iron drain piping and restore reliable flow to their home’s drainage system. A+ Services was called in to replace a deteriorating section of vertical waste stack—one of the most important plumbing components hidden behind walls and ceilings.
Here’s What We Did
After inspecting the basement and identifying corrosion and leaking in the original cast iron stack, our team completed a full PVC drain stack replacement, including:
- Cutting out the failed cast iron section
- Installing new, durable Schedule 40 PVC piping
- Securing connections with properly rated Fernco couplings
- Resealing the system to ensure long-term drainage integrity
This particular stack serves multiple fixture drains—so performance, pitch, and airtight seals were critical to preventing backups, gurgling, or sewer gas leaks.
Why Stack Replacements Matter
A vertical drain stack is the backbone of your home’s plumbing drainage. If it’s cracked, rusted, or partially blocked, you could be facing:
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Water stains or leaks in walls and ceilings
- Mold growth from hidden moisture
- Costly repairs if the system fails completely
Replacing a stack isn’t a small job—but when it’s done right, it protects your home for decades.
Now This Fort Thomas Home is Set for the Future
With a clean, modern PVC stack now in place, the homeowner has peace of mind—and efficient, reliable drainage for everything from laundry to bathrooms.
