Cast iron is the more expensive option out of the 3 most common pipes. However, it offers unparalleled advantages in terms of safety and noise cancellation. Cast Iron is the least flammable of all pipe materials. In addition, unlike PVC, cast iron is adept at noise cancellation due to its high natural density.

Copper is the most ductile and low maintenance of all pipes. Because it is ductile, copper pipes are usually used as the small pipes, as it eliminates material costs in that joints and elbows do not have to be installed separately. Copper does not take in materials from its surroundings, and its relative inertness firstly prevents external materials from mixing with the water it carries, and also is resistant to corrosion, thus explaining its low maintenance costs.

These are your most cost-efficient set of pipes. Because they are made of synthesized plastics, they are easily recycled into separate plastic pipes which can be re-used again. PVC pipes are reported to have more than 100 years in terms of usage and does not degrade easily. PVC is light and strong and is also easy to install. If you stay in a HDB flat and are looking for a cheap option, this is likely the way to go.

The main culprit of the pipe choke is usually when the homeowners flush debris or foreign items into the pipe system. To raise an example, some examples of items that do not belong in pipes are towels, papers and large solid objects such as vases. While it may sound ludicrous that these items are found in pipes, these are actually the most common offenders as the cause of blockages. As a word of advice, keep in mind what you wash down sinks or flush down bowls, as objects will accumulate.

Items that go down into the pipe are usually blocked out or filtered by intrinsic filters, and these exist around the house as parts such as floor traps. Sometimes, even these traps, which are shaped like grilles in terms of functionality, may get completely blocked out. When that is the case, it will be an easier fix as all we need to do would be to get rid of the blocked item, large in surface area, to have completely choked the entire surface of the floor trap or grille.

One of the main reasons why your pipe keeps choking could have nothing to do with you at all. Sadly, if there is a high instance or trend of renovation happening around you, this could be the reason why your pipes do not work very well. While human waste could very well cause blockage, there are many instances where renovations or construction can leave chunks of cement inside your pipes, especially when there is a high incidence of shifting and edition of the existing pipe system. Such items include construction debris or foreign material, which are easily left behind if not checked properly.
