Cast iron drain lines need the right pitch and clear flow to move waste from fixtures to the main sewer line. Air pressure changes in a restricted system make toilets bubble when water runs through connected fixtures. Metro Plumbing, Heating and Air got called out to a whole-home backup in Hixson where running the bathtub made the toilets react. A two-way cleanout gave access to the branch line beneath the home. The tech cabled the line with a 5/8 cable and cleared the blockage. Water tests throughout the home confirmed everything was draining right after the work wrapped up. The cast iron setup and age of the system led to a talk about long-term options. Reach out to learn more about drain line inspections and replacement planning.
