Good morning all
I have just have had an offer accepted on an epic DIY doer upper project. At the rear left of the property is a down stairs toilet that has the waste going directly into a floor waste pipe.
On the exterior wall of the toilet is a soil vent pipe which the current owner insists just vents the sewer access point at the rear of the property. I have several questions regarding this:
1. Is it feasible this is vent pipe is not linked to the current toilet system as the current owner stated the toilet waste went in the opposite direction.
2. If it is only a vent for the sewer, is it plausible to feed an additional toilet into the existing pipe from a bedroom upstairs as its on the correct external wall.
3, There is a spare bedroom above the existing toilet which I intend to convert to an upstairs bathroom, if it is not possible to use the existing vent / soil pipe, is it possible to split the "in floor" single sewer connection in the existing toilet to receive a waste pipe from above. It is in the corner so a soil pipe could be run internally and boxed in for aesthetics' if the connection to the current toilet could be utilised.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
