Platinum Rooter & Plumbing uses advanced hydro jet equipment to clean out stubborn sewer lines and drains. Hydro-jetting is a cleaning method that relies on high-pressure water to remove stubborn debris from sewers, pipes, and drains. Think of it as pressure-washing for your plumbing. It’s so effective that it can clear tree roots from your pipes, but also safe enough that it won’t damage them. Platinum Rooter & Plumbing provides hydro jet cleaning for the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area.

For Pre-1970s Homes: Orangeburg
Orangeburg pipe is a bituminized fiber pipe made from layers of ground wood pulp fibers compressed with and bound by a water-resistant adhesive, then impregnated with liquefied coal tar pitch. It was used from the 1860s through the 1970s, when it was replaced by PVC pipe for water supply and ABS pipe for drain-waste-vent (DWV) applications.
Orangeburg was a low-cost alternative to metal for sewer lines in particular. Lack of strength causes pipes made of Orangeburg to fail more frequently than pipes made with other materials. The useful life for an Orangeburg pipe is about 50 years under ideal conditions, but it has been known to fail in as little as 10 years. It has been taken off the list of acceptable materials by most building codes.
It is almost certain that if your home’s sewer lines were built before 1975, they likely used Orangeburg pipe. If these lines have not been replaced by ABS pipe, it’s a ticking time bomb of collapsed sewer line failures.
