Hi I wonder if anyone can help.
A friend lives in a flat and everytime her neighbour flushes his toilet, it syphons the water out of her toilet into his!! Her cistern then has to refill. His bathroom is directly below hers, and as they are purpose built flats, I'd guess that all the plumbing is linked into the same waste pipes.
She had a new bathroom fitted a few years ago, but the problem only started 2 years ago. It's a close coupled toilet and she did have a plumber out to fix it last year (I think he replaced the flush valve) but it's no better......apparantly now worse!!
There's 2 people in flat below and they use toilet a lot!! So her toilet is now constantly having to refill when they flush!
Wierd I know-has anyone any ideas??
Thanks
