There are various materials and approaches to drainage pipe installation, each suited to different needs and conditions. Common materials include PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and Triplewall Solid Drain Pipes that are constructed with triple bonded high density polyethylene (HDPE). These pipes are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for many residential applications to move water away from a catch basin, downspout, or sump pump outlet. Pipe sizes vary based on the job site, however 3 inch and 4 inch pipes are ideal.
Solid corrugated drain pipes and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) pipes are also popular due to their strength and ease of installation. For certain applications, such as outdoor drainage or heavy-duty use, cast iron pipes may be recommended for their durability and noise-reducing properties.
