Replacing Orangeburg Piping

Orangeburg pipe was used from the 1860’s well into the 20th century. The pipe is made from layers of wood pulp, water-resistant adhesive and tar. Orangeburg pipe over time deteriorates in the ground and collapses causing sewer stoppages and flooding of homes and businesses. This makes replacing Orangeburg piping in your home a necessity, because it’s not a matter of if it fail, but when.

The sewer line will inevitably fall apart and need to be replaced. It is better to be proactive with this process rather than reactive. The last thing anyone wants is their new home flooded with sewage. If you’re already experiencing stoppages, replacing orangeburg piping in your sewer line should be a top priority. The line will collapse to the point that a cable will no longer clear the stoppages and you will find yourself with an emergency and without the ability to use the plumbing in your home and could face flooding.
