Hi There!
I am doing a total remodel in bath and since I have the original 1930's cast iron flange & drainpipe accessible should I do any maintenance to it. I replaced all the original galvanized supply & drain pipes but I left all the cast iron drainpipe alone.
There is large chunks/flakes of rust & other sh#t (pun intended) inside pipe. Should I swab it? Snake it? I am not aware of a problem w/ it as is. But since it is fully accessible, now would be a great time.
Note: The oak floor needed alittle work. I scraped out decayed wood, slipped in several new pieces of oak, threw in some wood glue, caulk and flex filler. (I wanted to make sure I had all bases covered).
Thanks!
