What Is PVC?

PVC, short for Polyvinyl Chloride, was first introduced in the 1970’s and was an instant success. It is versatile and can used both underground and throughout your home. PVC is among the best options for repairing a section of an existing side sewer line, and also a great choice for an entire replacement.

PVC used for your home’s waste system results in a much quieter flowing system. The difference in sound is very noticeable in multi-story and multi-unit dwellings.

PVC can crack due to over compression when used in underground applications along with a few other issues caused by the type of earth it is buried in if proper measures are not followed during the installation. Overall it is a quality product that will keep you in service for years to come when properly installed by your licensed plumber.
