Drainage systems are used in all homes every day and play an integral role in the smooth running of every household. Unfortunately, though, some drainage setups are stronger than other, with pitch fibre drains falling into the weaker category.

What are Pitch Fibre Drains?

Pitch fibre is a cheap material made from wood cellulose that was used in the manufacturing of drainpipes from the 1940s until the 1970s when plastic took over. As such, many homes were fitted with drain pipes made from this material during this period. For the most part, there is little difference in the functionality of pitch fibre drains to plastic drains, and they can largely be maintained in the same way.

However, there are some notable drawbacks to having drains made from pitch fibre that make them susceptible to breakdowns. For a start, these pipes are more vulnerable to external damage, meaning they need to be better sheltered in respective homes. What’s more, pitch fibre can also delaminate, a process which results in the internal blistering of the pipe. This latter issue mostly occurs when the following waste materials travel through the pipe:

• Fat
• Oil
• Grease
• Hot Water

Of course, all of the above substances frequently travel through all drainpipes, so the reality is that pitch fibre drains will inevitably encounter problems. If you have pitch fibre drains at your Basingstoke property, it is highly recommended that you have then inspected by drainage contractors. By doing this, you can solve minor issues early on and avoid costly repair later.

No-Dig Repairs

After carrying out an initial inspection, our team will be able to determine the best course of action.

Replacement Drains

If your drains have sustained enough damage that a repair is no longer possible, then our team will have to carry out a full drain excavation and replacement service.
