Hi,
We have a problem with the waste flow from our bathroom. The bath/shower will have to fill to a couple of inches before any water goes down, when it does the flow is then very good. The sink is also very slow to empty. The toilet is normally fine but every couple of weeks it blocks and I have to plunge it.
I had builders look at the external waste whilst they were here for something else and they say the fall looks good enough, as I thought it looked quite shallow. I was therefore thinking some kind of airlock. The bath obviously requires a certain weight of water to flow properly. Also, the bath only recently replaced a shower cubicle which had the same problem and used to flow out on to the floor.
But as I'm no kind of expert that's just a wild guess.
Are there any experts who can guess better?
Thanks
Adam
