Check out our latest video where we answer one of the most common questions we receive: What is the best material for a sewer line?

Gone are the days of cast iron or clay tile sewer lines. In today's world, we primarily use three different types of plastic sewer lines: ABS plastic (black), PVC plastic (white), and high density polyethylene (HDPE, black with a green stripe). All three materials are great, but HDPE sewer lines stand out as the top choice. They are incredibly strong and can handle being bent and distorted over time without breaking. This flexibility is key, as sewer lines are often subject to ground movement due to changes in moisture and temperature. While ABS and PVC are also good options, they are more prone to snapping and cracking if they move too much.

Choosing the right material for your sewer line is crucial for long-term durability and reliability. Watch our video to learn more about why HDPE sewer lines are the best choice for your sewer system!
