I may be talking rubbish here but I've started on the beers already. These little water heaters are IMO, fantastic. Not a lot can go wrong. The water throttle/governor that reduces/increase the flow through the heat exchanger may need cleaning. Turn off the cold water supply to...

Good luck with your efforts. Please let us know how you get on and what the outcome is. The first thing a good builder would do, is to reinstate a new serviceable stop cock inside the house :wink:

Just reading your post again. You have a habit of confusing everyone :shock: You mean, put a hex on the existing drawing. Yes a hex or a water meter.

Putting in another hex would only be useful to the water board, if they needed to do anything to your water meter, but a complete waste of time and effort. The main water main in the road opposite you will have independent stop cocks that will shut down a section that supplies your shared...

Can the moderators help me !!!!!!!

No that can't be seen! Not sure how to do it!

Unless you can see the soil and vent pipe coming through the roof/outside, which would mean you don't have an AAV.

It's probably not a bad idea anyway, to scrape away slate chippings and then remove the damp smelly soil for a depth of 1 to 2 foot and replace with large size shingle or more slate chippings although later quite expensive. In other words create a 'french drain'. This will allow the water...

The soil pipe may have an AAV that is not opening to allow air into the top of the soil pipe. www.diydata.com/plumbing/air_admittance_valve/air_admittance_valve.php www.marleyplumbinganddrainage.com/diyer/content/2/226/air-admittance-valve.htm
