Bituminized Fiber Pipe

Bituminized Fiber Pipe (aka Orangeburg) was first introduced in the mid 1800′s. Due to its light weight and ease of use, it became very popular for use in sewer lines. Although preferred by many installers, its light construction proved problematic.

Although uncommon, there are still some functioning sewers made from bituminized fiber pipe.

Drainage problems often occur when the pipe collapses. When this happens, complete replacement of the line is often the only sanitary solution.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the auger service that was performed at my house this morning. When I tried to flush the toilet this morning, it backed up and would not go down, not even a little. I called your company at 9:08 am and requested service as soon as possible. At approximately 9:30 am, the technician (Carlos) arrived and, through my description of the problems we have had (including bubbling toilets while showering), he diagnosed the problem and got to work. While it seems this was a simple clog (no roots in the line), he was still finished very quickly. All of the work was completed at 10:10 am. It only took One Hour and Two Minutes from the time I called the dispatch until the work was completed! Carlos was very friendly, very fast, and very professional. I don't think I've ever written a letter like this to a company before, but I am so impressed by the promptness and ease of service that I felt I just had to! Thanks for your hard work and I won't hesitate to recommend you to my friends, family, and co-workers! Adam Wood
