Important Information About Corrugated Pipe

READ THIS IF YOU’RE CONSIDERING CORRUGATED PIPE FOR YOUR DRAINAGE SYSTEM


This material should not be used for underground drainage.

Why is this material not approved for drainage systems?

  • This material will not pass city inspection and is not approved for use in the following cities: Houston, Bellaire, Katy, Hunters Creek, Piney Point Village, Pasadena, West University Place, Missouri City, Southside Place, Sugar Land, and many others.


Here’s why -

  • This product has little tensile strength. It is easily cracked by a shovel and often becomes deformed under normal use. Root intrusion is a common occurrence.

  • It cannot be cleaned with an auger as PVC can.

  • The fittings ‘snap’ together – another future entry point for roots. However, the contractor may do a first rate job and duct tape the fittings. Awesome!

  • What we find with corrugated systems is… to put it plainly, usually a mess. The systems get clogged easily and do not perform as intended.

  • If a contractor is wanting to install this material, he’s not looking out for your best interests. At best he’s naïve about the properties of corrugated pipe.

  • Why do contractors use this inferior material? Because it’s cheap and fast to install. Companies using this material usually just dig a trench and cover up the pipe. Shooting elevations isn’t necessary when using this construction method.
