⚠️ Does your home have pitch fibre drainage pipes?
If your property was built with pitch fibre pipes, it’s worth knowing that they can deteriorate with age.
Pitch fibre can become soft, deformed, blistered or collapsed, which can lead to repeated blockages and drainage problems.
🚨 The important bit: not all insurance policies cover damage to pitch fibre pipes, and some insurers may have specific exclusions or conditions.
Before assuming you’re covered, check your buildings insurance policy or speak to your insurer.
🔎 A CCTV drain survey can also identify the condition of your drainage system and show whether the pipework is suffering from deformation, damage or collapse.
At Looman Drainage Ltd, we can carry out a professional CCTV investigation and provide a report showing what’s happening underground.
