Pitch Fibre Pipe Replacements for Domestic Drains and Sewer Pipes

Replacing or re-rounding pitch fibre pipes with plastic alternatives is a great way to improve the effectiveness of your drainage, modernise your home and add value to your property. Pitch fibre pipes were initially in use as they were cost-effective and easy to handle, but they have a range of drawbacks that lower their life span.

Some pitch fibre pipes will contain asbestos, a highly toxic substance, but in most cases the asbestos is stable within the coal tar and will not cause any health issues. Nonetheless, replacing the antiquated pipes is a desirable improvement to make to a home.

Pitch Fibre Pipe Replacements

How Does it Work?

Even though in ideal conditions pitch fibre pipes can last more than 40 years, they are likely to fail with regular use. One of the main problems of pitch fibre pipes is blocked drains, which you can avoid by replacing them. Another reason to replace them is that an insurance company will also find pitch fibre pipes riskier to cover – and will charge higher rates.

The process of replacing the pitch fibre pipes is relatively simple and goes as follows:

  • Identifying the pipes: If you have had part of your sewers or drainage system replaced at some point you may have a mixture of pipe types. A CCTV drain survey can help find any problem pipes, as using CCTV surveys you will get the most accurate possible view of your drains.
  • Extract the pipes: Extracting the pipes can be complex, especially when they are in the ground. Most underground pitch fibre pipes without damage will not require replacing, but those with damage will need excavation and replacement. We can then take them for safe disposal.
  • Install new plastic pipes: By using modern plastic pipes you remove the potential of any issues from pitch fibre and gain a valuable asset for your home. After thorough testing and inspection, the drains and sewer system is ready for regular use and will work well for many years to come.

Replacing Outdated Pitch Fibre Pipes

Pitch fibre pipes were commonly installed in UK homes between the 1950s-1970s before being phased out. While cheap and easy to handle, these antique pipes have major drawbacks:

  • Prone to warping, collapsing and blocking, disrupting water flow
  • Asbestos content in some models poses serious health hazards
  • Lack durability, with a lifespan of only 40 years under ideal conditions
  • Create major insurance liability due to the high risk of failure

 

Don't Wait for Failure

Replacing deteriorating pitch fibre pipes with modern plastic alternatives is strongly recommended for several reasons:

  • Restores proper drainage and water flow throughout the home
  • Eliminates collapsing, leaks, and burst pipe emergencies
  • Removes asbestos contamination risks from the property
  • Reduces insurance rates and liability through system upgrades
  • Increases home value by improving outdated plumbing

Don’t wait for total failure – be proactive in replacing hazardous pitch fibre pipes. Contact Coastal Drains to learn about affordable pipe replacement that protects your home.
