Types of Drain Pipes

There are several types of drain pipes you might find in your home. Depending on the age of your home and the installation, you could have one of the following drain pipes:

Steel Pipes

Because steel pipes are very difficult to maintain, they are uncommon in new homes. The zinc in the pipes can degrade, and this causes rusting and clogging. If you have frequent clogs, it could be from your steel pipes.

Copper Pipes

In the 1930s, copper pipes became popular. This metal quickly replaced steel pipes because of its resilience. Copper is light, small, and easy to work with. That said, there are some disadvantages to copper drain pipes. As an expensive metal, copper is costly to maintain. It's not always the best option.

PVC Pipes

Since the 1950s, PVC pipes have been used in plumbing systems. The material is rust-proof and highly durable. However, it is intolerant to heat.
