Understanding Orangeburg Sewer Lines: What Homeowners Need to Know

Posted March 17, 2025 by Nordic Home Inspections

If you own an older home or are considering purchasing one, you may have come across the term “Orangeburg sewer line.” These pipes were commonly used in residential sewer systems from the 1940s to the 1970s.

What Are Orangeburg Sewer Lines?

Orangeburg pipes, also known as bituminous fiber pipes, were manufactured using layers of wood pulp and pitch (a tar-like substance). Named after Orangeburg, New York, where they were originally produced, these pipes were popular due to their low cost and ease of installation during post-World War II housing booms.

What is radon gas?


Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas. It is a naturally occurring byproduct of the decay of uranium, which is found in varying amounts in soil and rock. As uranium breaks down, it produces radon gas, which can migrate through the ground and enter the air. Radon is a noble gas and chemically inert, meaning it does not readily react with other substances.

The concern with radon arises because, when inhaled, it can break down further, releasing tiny radioactive particles. These particles can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of lung cancer. Radon is considered a significant health hazard, and elevated levels of radon in indoor air pose a potential risk to human health. Testing for radon levels in homes and other buildings is recommended, and if high levels are detected, mitigation measures can be taken to reduce exposure.
