Thanks to a blocked drain getting power jetted, I have discovered my drain is broken and leaking.
The break is where my cast downpipe/wastepipe joins the clay/stone drain. The collar is broken and when I looked at it, there were rags wrapped round it and jammed into the gaps. They weren't working.
I have packed the gaps with putty just now so that we can at least flush the toilet but obviously I have to rectify it ASAP.
I don't know how far the main pipe goes so I don't know how much pipe would need to be replaced, if the whole thing needed replacing. But my question is, can this be sorted without replacing the entire stone pipe?
Thanks
