I have a 4" cast iron waste pipe coming into the basement of a property. It appears to be coated with a woven mesh material which has then been painted. I wondered if anybody had any idea as to what the material could be. I've also come across similar on a 1/2" copper water pipe . Any help gratefully received as looking to bond the pipe subject to further investigation.
There is a good chance that this pipe was once in the ground and the basement excavated to reveal it and is now simple supported in place. There is one joint consisting of one pipe having a belled end to form a socket and the joining length pushed into it. The pipe pipe looks a lot thicker than you would traditionally see on the side of a building.
