[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a good story. When I bought my first house in alexandria, VA, I later learned that the sewer pipes from the house to the street were made of a type of 'paper' material, I think in the 60s. Flushed toilet paper there and had a clog up the basement drain. Plumber put a camera in the sewer pipe area under the front lawn and showed me the pipe was not smooth (since it was 'paper' type material). So toilet paper was stuck. Another drain company came and blasted everything out carefully with water and a "oil ball" rolled out to the street sewer underground.[/quote] This happened to our tenants in the house we rent out in Rockville. We had to replace the line from the house to the street. So much housing went up so quickly in the postwar period while iron and steel were still in short supply and very expensive. The stuff they used instead to make “pipes” was called Orangeburg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangeburg_pipe[/quote]
