About Our PVC Drainage Pipe at Drain Pipe Xpress Inc.
Drainage pipes, manufactured from thermoplastics (PVC), are ideal for gravity drainage systems, where a gentle slope enables gravity to complete the work of directing wastewater or rainwater to central collection points. Because drainage systems fulfill an extensive variety of uses at residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal properties, there are several pipes that may meet your needs.
Here on the Pipe Xpress website, our range of drainage pipes includes:
PVC Drainage Pipe
Schedule 20 and Schedule 40 PVC pipe are a good rigid pipe for low pressure drainage. They can withstand limited physical impact.
HDPE Corrugated Drainage Pipe
High density polyethylene corrugated pipes are available as single wall flexible drainage pipes that you can manipulate into different angles. These are a popular pipe for landscape drainage. Dual wall HDPE corrugated pipe uses a corrugated outside layer and a smooth interior wall to provide efficient drainage for storm sewers.
SDR 35 PVC Pipe
More commonly used as sewer pipe, SDR 35 pipe is a rigid PVC that is more durable and impact resistant than Schedule 20 or Schedule 40 pipe.
Perforated Drainage Pipe
An option for both PVC and corrugated drain pipe, perforated pipe has holes along the top of the pipe to enable water to enter. Perforated pipe is most often used in French drains.
Each of the different types of drainage pipes fulfills different purposes. Some are adapted for indoor drainage or outdoor drainage. Their strength – in terms of the capacity, pressure of fluid, and resistance to impact – also varies by style of pipe.
When planning your drainage system or replacing an existing system, it is important to know how much fluid will flow through it, if any external pressures will be applied in the chosen location, and if the pipe is likely to carry debris in addition to fluid. These factors, in combination with your budget and expectations for service life, are necessary for choosing the type of drainage pipe to use in your project.
Some systems may use multiple varieties of pipe. Many, such as rigid PVC and SDR 35, join with standard connectors, making it possible to optimize your system for strength or affordability.
Industries Using Our Drainage Pipes
Any property where water is present will also require a drainage system.
Indoor Drainage
Some pipes are used for indoor drainage, particularly plumbing and sewage at residential and commercial properties. Many industrial properties also produce industrial waste that needs to be reliably transported to a disposal site.
Outdoor Drainage
Some pipes are used for outdoor drainage. Whether from rain, snow, or irrigation systems, excess water can cause damage when left on lawns, sidewalks, and roadways in addition to potentially being dangerous in some situations. Drains help route the water away rather than letting it collect above or below ground.
Almost every property will use drainage pipes in some fashion, but the industries we most often supply include:
Landscaping
At both residential and commercial properties, our pipes can provide drainage alongside French drains, channel drains, surface drains, and more.
Plumbing
Sewage pipes are another necessity for drainage at properties so we also provide pipes, fittings, and valves to developers and contractors.
Storm Drainage
Usually built on commercial or municipal properties, storm sewers help drain water away from roadways and sidewalks. We have HDPE pipes with the capacity to handle large scale drainage.
PVC pipes are the pipe of choice for drainage whether you are laying a new drainage system or replacing an older one. We offer solutions that will fit with any existing elements of a current system.
Advantages of PVC Pipe and Corrugated Plastic in Drainage
Pipe Xpress Inc. offers many types of piping, but specializes in PVC pipes and other plastic pipes. While non-plastic materials like concrete or older metal drainage systems do exist, PVC and HDPE corrugated pipes are a more effective, more affordable, and longer lasting solution.
They are also:
Non-Corrosive
Plastic does not rust or degrade over time through contact with minerals in the soil. This is especially important for drainage pipes that are most often buried underground.
Weather Resistant
For those pipes exposed to sunlight and other exterior elements, the UV rays and rain will not impact their functionality.
Lightweight
With PVC and corrugated plastic weighing only a few pounds per foot on average, each pipe can be easily transported or installed by a single person or, in some cases, a small team.
Inexpensive
Plastic piping is among one of the most affordable options for piping materials. In addition to its low product costs, its light weight makes it cost effective to ship and install as well.
It’s also possible to choose between rigid and flexible pipe, each with its own advantages. Rigid PVC pipes are stronger than single wall corrugated plastic pipes and have a more efficient flow due to the smooth interior. This makes it less likely to clog. The rigidity means the pipe is unlikely to develop low points that might collect water.
Conversely, flexible drainage pipe is easier to install. You can curve it around bends at any angle. With lengths of 100 feet or more, you can run a single pipe over an extensive distance, turning where necessary. When you do need a connection to another section or branching pipe, corrugated pipe does not require glue to create a waterproof seal. Single wall corrugated pipe also costs less than PVC although you can purchase both at fair prices from Pipe Xpress.
Drain Pipe Sizing and Pipe Fittings Available on Our Website
The dimensions of drainage pipes vary widely depending on the type of piping. For every variety, we sell pipes at various thicknesses and lengths.
Our Schedule 20, Schedule 40, French drain, and SDR 35 rigid PVC drainage pipes are available in diameters ranging from ½ inch up to 14 inches and lengths between 5 feet and 20 feet depending on the type of pipe. We can cut pipe for you in house, but one of the advantages of PVC is that pipe cutting can take place on location as well, using only a saw.
For flexible corrugated drainage pipes, we carry 3-inch, 4-inch, or 6-inch corrugated drainage pipe in coils of:
- 10 feet
- 50 feet
- 100 feet
- 250 feet
Our HDPE dual wall drainage pipe comes in lengths of 20 feet and diameters of:
- 4 inch

Even if you do not find drainage pipe in the specific dimensions you need on your website, we recommend calling our team. Our partnerships with pipe manufacturers make it possible for us to special order pipes with less commonly used dimensions or help you find an alternative that meets your particular needs.
