We have had our tank cleaned and now know we have a blockage probably by roots.  When we dug the line up coming out of the tank, we have Orangeburg pipe.  When replacing it, what type of pipe can I use?  Can I use field tile or perforated?

what type of pipe can I use? Can I use field tile or perforated?   replace the Orangeburg with PVC.  You may use either terra-cotta drainage tile or perforated PVC. In my area we stopped using terra-cotta tile years ago and went with PVC. Good luck,  Tom

If you are going to replace all the piping, consider the "Infiltrator"  chamber system.
