Hi all, new here and new to owning a home as well (and have no plumbing experience at all!). Hoping you all can advise whether I should replace my 1944 house's original cast iron plumbing with PVC. I've read that cast iron has an 80-100 year life span, and it's at 77 now. I'm in the process of renovating, so more or less all the plumbing is or will be exposed--so it seems like maybe a good time to do it? But maybe I'm jumping the gun if there aren't any issues yet. I've attached a picture of the main stack running through the bathroom and a cross section of the toilet drain (not the best pic of the inside, sorry).
Thanks!
Thanks!
