This essay focuses on three central questions:

1. What are the most common damages happening to pipes in waste water systems?
2. By which factors are such damages caused?
3. Which material is especially weak or strong in resistance against certain damages?

The advantages of pipe-materials and the needs of a proper sewage system are well known. Less highlighted are usually the disadvantages of materials or the most frequent damages occurring. This overview shall present these in three pinpointed questions and answers.
