Hi.
New bath fitted including new solvent weld waste to the soil stack. Checked during first fix, no leaks. Works in the room under the bath room complete including a new ceiling so bath then installed properly. Checked for leaks all OK.
First proper bath someone has, water drained, we have a wet ceiling! Arrggghh.
Checked the trap and all plumbing in the bathroom under the bath and all OK, so it must be between where the waste pipe dives under the floor and the soil stack (need to now remove the ceiling).
The thing is during fault finding it only seems to leak when the bath is VERY full, if you just keep running the bath with the waste open no leaks at all. Is this related to the pressure of the waste water? Or one of the solvent welds faulty near the top of the pipe so only leaks when the pipe is full?
