Irmo Housing Stock & Pipe Profile
Irmo grew up between the 1970s and 1990s, so the residential pipe profile is a bit younger than Columbia's — most Irmo homes have cast iron drains that are just now reaching the age where they need serious attention. The mainlines (usually clay or early PVC) are aging in parallel. Trenchless lining is a great fit for a lot of what we see here.
The classic Irmo call is a 1980s home with the original cast iron drains starting to channel and slow down. We see plenty of root intrusion in the mainline laterals too — Irmo's mature tree canopy does its damage on unsuspecting clay pipe joints. Kitchen line backups from long-term grease buildup are another regular.
Irmo is a short drive from our Columbia base — about 15–25 minutes depending on time of day and where in Irmo you are. Same-day service is typical for morning calls.

How a lining job runs
Our proven process
Five steps start to finish. Most residential laterals are done in a day, and the yard, driveway, or parking lot stays exactly where it is.
Inspect
We run a CCTV camera through the line to find the fault and verify the pipe's condition before recommending anything.
Clean
High-pressure jetting strips roots, grease, and scale so the liner bonds to a clean host pipe.
Line
A resin-saturated liner goes in through an existing access point and is positioned inside the damaged pipe.
Cure
UV light cures the liner in place, forming a strong, seamless new pipe inside the old one.
Reinstate
Service is restored and verified on camera. We leave the property the way we found it.
Commercial & institutional
Fix the pipe. Don't close the property.
A pipe failure at a multi-tenant or institutional property in Irmo is never only a plumbing problem. It's occupant complaints, liability exposure, and unplanned capital spend. We inspect aging infrastructure before it fails and repair it without excavation, road plates, or lost parking.

Frequently asked
Irmo questions
Do you serve Ballentine and Friarsgate?
Yes. Both are core neighborhoods in our Irmo service area. Ballentine especially — a lot of the homes there were built in the 1980s and are now hitting the age where drain issues start appearing.
What is the most common Irmo plumbing issue you see?
Aging cast iron drain lines in 1980s and 1990s homes. The material has a working life of about 40–60 years, and Irmo's housing stock is right in that window. Camera inspections often reveal channeling and pinhole leaks even before customers notice slow drains.
How long does it take you to reach Irmo?
About 15–25 minutes from our Columbia base under normal traffic conditions.
Let's solve the problem — without disrupting your property.
