If you have major drain clogs in your Orlando home and they recur all the time that you have to call an Orlando plumber to clean your drain and the house was built between 1945-1972 chances are that you have Orange-burg pipe for your sewer line. Here is the basic history on Orange-burg pipe it was created in 1890 as a substitute for cast iron pipe as there was a shortage of cast iron during WWII.
Orange-burg pipe is bituminous fiber pipe made from asphalt impregnated layers of wood pulp and pitch pressed together basically tar paper.This pipe is brittle and lightweight, this piping absorbs moisture and tends to deform over time. When the pipe deforms it will cause more drain clogs and you will need to have your plumber out more often to do drain cleaning services. Eventually it will collapse and you will then need to have a sewer line replacement which means that you will have to replace your Orlando sewer from the house to the city tie in. Due to Orange-burg deforming, sewer repairs are almost impossible to repair as they almost always need to be replaced. Your sewer line replacement should be done by a licensed Orlando plumbing company and should be replaced with PVC sewer pipe.
