Yeah said to add a one way valve or a tundish. I said a tundish is no good as it lets foul smells back into the room. So the plumber fitted a one way valve today

Rang Ideal - they were helpful - they are coming to have a look at it. If it's done incorrectly least then I can throw that back at the builder!

Hi yeah I've asked the question to the builder it's under 2 years. They keep bringing back in the plumber to try different things. How they are on about ripping my cupboard out to inspect the waste pipe :(

Yes it is. It was ideal who said it shouldn’t do that…

Air admitance valve didn't work. still pulling through air. Someone else seems to think the drain below the sink may be blocked - does that make sense?

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out a kinked pipe would affect fluid flow!!!

New build property - found these behind the sink all kinked! Where do they find these people?

Yeap it is!

Yeah for £10 worth a try before I start pulling out glued in pipes!

Ah thats a good idea! Actually found a u bend with a valve built in - this will save having to pull out all the glued sections which go into the waste https://www.toolstation.com/mcalpine-sc10v-anti-syphon-p-trap/p74161 Thanks for heads up about waste pipe!

Pictures attached. Obviously the boiler condensate trap pipe is behind plasterboard now

The one coming from the top to bottom is the trap for the sink into the drain. Before the trap it has a washing machine connected and a double sink. The one coming from the left os the boiler condensate overflow

But it’s after the sink drain trap so gases from the drain can come back up then?

Hi, When I drain the sink in my kitchen I can hear the boiler bubbling, it's the condensate trap pulling water down the overflow pipe into the drain which goes into the same drain as the sink. Is this normal?
