My plumber did 160 cm, 3 cm deep and 8-10 wide sloping chase (3cm deep) for pipes in 10 cm breeze block. The wall is between my lounge and hall in WC underneath the stairs. I ha no clue about building but I read a lot and was unhappy with what he's done... But it is too late now as it's done...
I asked him to exchange copper pipes to plastic ones and bury them in mortar. Will it strengthen my wall? It is single breeze block wall, plasetered on both sides (blocks are approx 10 cm deep ) in the middle of my house, probably load bearing. House was built in 1998.
I am really worried now
He says people do this and have no worries and I am odd :0(
