: "You will probably need to have the cast iron line cleaned for it to take the faster dump from a washing machine. This is usually a $150.00 to $250.00 not including the drain cleaning." : If I may........What do you mean by "cleaning"? : Should this be done on a regular basis in older homes with cast iron pipes? Cleaned with a machine. If you observe a pattern of when the line needs to be cleaned you can schedule regular cleaning before a stoppage occurs. Not all cast iron needs to be cleared.
