    Fault finding - AAV next? As bath & shower not draining even though all pipe work/sewers etc. clear

    I have a shower, bath and basin that all drain slowly, and the bath emptying now results in water coming up through shower trap. A lot of gurgling noises too.

    Macerator causes spyhoning of ground floor water traps!

    When the macerator flushes it causes the water in the traps for the sink and washing machine to spyhon out. I was think of installing something like a anti-syphon p trap for the washing machine and sink. The macerator which I have on the 1st floor. I saw mentions of an AAV, but not sure if I...

    Thermals store

    Is there any reason why I couldn't convert a non vented thermal store to a vented version by replacing the AAV on the top of the cylinder with a header tank? I don't trust the aged back boiler to be pressured on my new second hand log burner and also don't want a pressured vessel

    Bathroom AAV (moved from trade talk)

    We've had an AAV fitted in our upstairs bathroom - but I'm convinced something is not right with the plumbing/connections somewhere as most days there is an awful smell coming from the room - like we have a direct link to the main sewers!! We've had a few plumbers round but nobody has been able...

    Can AAV be installed for the whole drainage installation?

    Hello, my question is: I'm working in the refurbish of an old building. The existing drainage is not going to be retained, moreover, it was external, but not coming through the roof, was wall mounted. I wouldn't like to do any hole in the roof. Could I use Air Admittance Valves for all the...
