Unfortunately, many Covina homes made before the 1970s were built with something known as Orangeburg pipe (aka Bermico or “fiber conduit”). This is a sewer-and-drain pipe that is made from a kind of tar paper called “bituminized fiber.”
What should you do when you have Orangeburg pipes? The Covina sewer installation pros at Courtesy Plumbing can answer definitively because we have a modern solution: video pipe inspection
Tree roots are a common cause behind a sewer break as they can penetrate the sewer line leading to cracks and blockages. Additionally, sewer lines that are older, corroded, damaged, or starting to sag, are prone to break. Causing an obstruction in your drains by way of a clog or flushing certain items down the toilet can also lead to a break.
Typically flushing items down the toilet, such as feminine products, cotton swabs, non-flushable wipes, and foreign objects can lead to a clog. Additionally, tree roots and outdated sewer lines can not only cause a break but also a clog in the main line.
