Drainage System

They don’t corrode: Unlike rigid, cast-iron drainage pipes, plastic pipes don’t corrode, and they offer excellent resistance to most types of chemicals – including most strong acids, alkalis and solvents, as well as fats, brine mineral oils, and alcohols.

Resilience: Another advantage of plastic pipe is how resilient it is. It will resist corrosion almost anywhere, including when it is buried under your yard or embedded in a concrete slab. This explains why the pipes running to your septic system or sewer line are almost always plastic regardless of the type of pipes inside your home.

They’re better for the environment: The manufacture of plastic pipes requires much less energy than the production of their rigid counterparts – meaning that they have a much smaller environmental footprint and a lower impact on global warming. In addition to this, at the end of their working life – which can be up to 100 years if they’re maintained well enough – plastic drainage pipes can be collected, recycled, and reworked into other pvc or pe products.

They’re easier to install: Because plastic pipes are much lighter than other materials, they’re much easier to handle.

They last much longer: Plastic pipes are known for their durability. They’re exceptionally strong and maintain their durability throughout their entire service life – which thanks to their non-corrosive, non-conductive properties can be up to 100 years!
