Hi everyone
I have a situation whereby Im looking to reuse an existing foul water drain to now take soil waste from a new upstairs bathroom at the head of a new drain we are removing the gulley and connecting SVP via a slow bend to the existing v/clay pipe, however on exposing the drain we found its only 150mm from the crown to GL falling to about 250mm at the IC (crown) and incased in concrete for protection so its only shallow set up (that length of exstg drain is about 8ft) this drainage was put in over 20 year ago and has BRegs approval as it was part of a rear bathroom extension, what Im wondering is what are my options to comply with BRegs as I cant go any or much deeper without lowering the IC?.
Just to add to this could someone confirm that if work of this scope was carried out without BC involvement and subsequent approval then it would invalidate the owners house insurance.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Cheers
