Pitch fibre pipes were widely used in the United Kingdom from the mid-20th century onwards. They were a popular choice due to their relatively low cost and ease of installation.
However, over time, the limitations of pitch fibre became apparent, particularly in terms of its susceptibility to deterioration and root intrusion.
The lightweight nature of pitch fibre can make it susceptible to damage from external forces, such as bricks or masonry laid beneath the pipes.
Pitch fibre reacts with hot water, fats, and oils, leading to blistering, distortion, blockages, and potential collapse.
Push-fit joints without sealing rings can allow tree roots to penetrate the pipework, causing blockages and damage.
Using drain rods to clear blockages can further damage pitch fibre pipes, exacerbating the problem.
Some pitch fibre pipes may contain asbestos, which can pose a health hazard if disturbed during cutting or removal.
If you suspect you have pitch fibre drains or are experiencing drainage problems, we’ll begin with a thorough CCTV drain survey. Pitch fibre is identifiable by its distinctive coal black color and delamination. Unlike clay or plastic pipes, pitch fibre often has visible bubbles.
Once we’ve confirmed the presence of pitch fibre, we’ll recommend one of two proven solutions:
Our innovative no-dig technique involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the drain to repair damage without excavation. This liner is carefully positioned and cured, creating a strong, durable, and leak-proof inner layer within the existing pipe. Our no-dig repair method offers several advantages, including:
No excavation is required, reducing noise, mess, and inconvenience.
No-dig repairs are often more affordable than traditional excavation and replacement.
The repair process can be completed in a relatively short timeframe, minimizing downtime.
The resin-impregnated liner provides a durable and long-lasting solution to pitch fibre drain problems.
For severely damaged pipes, such as collapsed sections, excavation and replacement may be necessary. While this can be disruptive, it ensures a complete solution.
This approach involves carefully excavating the affected section of the drain, removing the damaged pipe, and installing a new pipe.
While this method can be more time-consuming and disruptive than no-dig repairs, it guarantees a long-lasting and reliable solution, especially in cases of extensive damage.
We’ll carefully assess your specific situation to determine the most appropriate solution for your pitch fibre drain problems. Our experienced team will consider factors such as the extent of the damage, the location of the drain, and your specific needs and preferences.
We’ll provide a personalized recommendation and detailed explanation of the proposed solution, ensuring you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
By choosing We Are Drainage for your pitch fibre drain repairs, you can trust that your drainage system will be in expert hands.
