Sewer line repair: pipe joins In the past century, a number of materials have been used for piping, all serving the same purpose, but having different characteristics. Today, the most common pipe material by far is plastic. Before the 1980s, however, cast iron and clay were very common. Unfortunately, though cast iron and clay have decent longevity, they are prone to decomposition, and will eventually require sewer line repair. Usually, older pipes first show problems at a seal where two pipe segments join. Clay pipes commonly leak at the joins, and this will attract roots which can work into the pipe. Cast iron also has similar problems. Luckily, plastic pipes don't attract roots to the degree of the others and thus plastic pipes will probably save you from future sewer line replacement.
