Choosing pitch fibre pipes for your drains is a great choice for your property. For both commercial properties and residential properties, pitch fibre is an investment that can help prevent clogs and backups in your drains; by taking these precautions, you ensure efficient drainage and avoid costly repairs in the long term.
What is Pitch Fibre Pipework?
Pitch fibre pipework is a type of sewer pipe made from wood cellulose fibres that have been enhanced with coal tar pitch. This combination creates a lightweight yet durable material that’s resistant to both corrosion and root intrusion, making it an ideal choice for underground drainage systems or large properties with difficult access to drains. The material has plenty of advantages to save your property long term repair costs.
What are the Advantages of Pitch Fibre Pipework?
Corrosion Resistance
Pitch fibre pipes are very robust against corrosion, differing to standard metal pipes, preserving their durability and reliability over time.
Flexibility
The wood cellulose fibres allow the pipes to be easily manoeuvred around curves and bends. This simplifies installation, eliminating the need for intricate fittings, reducing labour time and repair expenses.
Efficient Flow
The interior of pitch fibre pipes are designed to be smooth, as such, friction is decreased, creating an optimal environment for smooth and fast water flow. This minimises the chances of obstructions or blockages.
Root Resistance
Pitch fibre pipes are also more resistant to root intrusion. This prevents tree roots from invading and potentially damaging the pipes, reducing the risk of costly repairs further down the line. Especially on properties with large gardens or spaces for trees.
Lightweight
The lightweight materials that compose pitch fibre pipes simplifies handling and transportation during installation and maintenance tasks.
The Difference Pitch Fibre Can Make for Your Drains
Why do pitch fibre pipes make such a difference? Pitch fibre pipes keep water flowing smoothly, reducing backups and overflows due to their corrosive resistant materials. Your drains on your property are an investment, ensuring the best solutions are in place for your drains will help reduce costs over time.
Pitch fibre is designed to last longer than other materials, reducing replacement fees due to corrosion, rust and leakage. Pitch fibre pipes require little maintenance throughout their lifetime, which can save you costs on frequent maintenance or repairs, for old drains or drains that have continuous problems – pitch fibre is a viable option.

After having the same recurring problem for years and other companies coming out only to fix the problem temporarily. I called Rapid drains, they went above and beyond to find the root cause. I would usually have to call someone out every 6 months. It’s been 18 months since Rapid Drains came out and I’ve had no blockages since. Sam was very professional and even did call backs to make sure the problem was still resolved. Well worth giving them a call.
