drain

I'm hoping some kind soul might be able to comment if this workmanship has been carried out properly? Situation is: previously an open vented system which has been converted to a sealed system (the benefits of which I'm still unclear on). As such, an expansion vessel was positioned in the...

Hi all, I've currently got a problem with a very squelchy lawn. The lawn is on a gradual slope towards the house and is at it's worst at the bottom of the slope. The soil is generally heavy with clay as well. I was planning on installing a landdrain throughout the lawn but i'm now wondering if...

Hi all, I'm currently looking into installing a perforated land drain in my back garden as the grass is becoming a boggy mess. I currently have an aco drain along the side of the patio which leads into the house gutter drain which is close to the edge of the grass. This drain is the only option...

Easy job or not? Cheers.

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help identify this for me? (I know its going to be difficult with just pictures but thats all I have as the pipes are under the building). I have inherited this when I purchased this house. Does it looks like foul or rain water drain? In one picture you can...

As you can see from the diagram there is a foul drain running underneath a side extension to our home. The man hole on the left is in the garage, the one on the right is outside the back of the house. The challenge is: How do we connect the drains for the dishwasher and sink on the new island...

Hi there, We moved into a victorian property a couple of years ago, which already had a wrap around extension built in the 70's. The kitchen wastes run alongside an internal wall and then through what would have been the external wall at the back and down into what is now a concreted floor...

I am installing a new bathroom which will have a 5.5m run of soil pipe from the toilet to the stack. I am planning to turn the pipe 45 degrees immediately after the toilet, then a first run of 1m, followed by another 45 degrees, then the remaining 4.5m to the stack. This will all be with...

I need to fit ground Drain around my patio. It will empty into an existing rectangular clay drain. How does one join the plastic ground Drain to the clay drain? Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m installing a saniflo macerating toilet, but having trouble finding a good spot to discharge the 22mm pipe to. option 1- discharge right into where my current WC goes. The problem is i dont have access to neighbour underneath my house, so I would have to raise the WC or somehow...

I was cleaning the bath tub and I had unscrew a cap from the side of bath tub (where the hole is located) below: [![Whole bath tub][1]][1] The cap consists of 2 parts:part A & B as below [![part A & B for cap][2]][2] When I removed part B, the part A is connected by a screw, which comes from...

Hi, I have a two-pipe fully pumped S plan open vented system. When I drained it last time, I had the impression there is some sludge or dirt around it. I therefore am going to drain it again to install a magnetic filter. I was thinking of taking this chance to add a tee on the feed pipe (the...

Hi, I have a Zanussi Dishwasher ZDF2020 that is flashing an error on the led's. Manual says the drain is blocked. However, if I fill the washer with 2 kettles of water and reset/start a cycle the water is drained out as normal, 5 seconds of whoosh then reduces to a trickle. So the pump must be...

I am looking to put a patio down. As you can see from the photo there are two pipes close to the house. The patio will be one brick down from the DPC, so 75 - 85mm, and I thought I would put an Aco Linear Drain up against the wall so the top of the drain is level with the patio, one brick...

Hi There is a drain inspection cover in my front garden and I would like to raise the soil level around it, which would result in it being hidden under the soil. I assumed it was a sewage drain and was therefore planning to raise the cover with an extra layer of bricks and a new frame and...

We have recently moved into our home 1880s built terrace. I have noticed our rear rainwater drain gulley has a few cracks in! After a good clean and scrub it seems to only be the clay top cracked and the inlet spout is in tact with no cracks. Ideally I dont want to have to dig up garden to...

A drain in my mansion block has disconnected and needs to be put back together (picture attached). This results in a noisy leak. We'be been quoted scaffolding only costs of over £1000. Is this right? It's on the 3rd floor of a property. Access from the window might be possible, but I only...

Hi folks, So I've got a leaking waste pipe from the rubber seal of my bathroom. The house is only 5yrs old and was built by somebody that didn't seem to care on a lot of detail (bit housing company, I'll skip my rant but it involves faulty heating installations, radiators not plumbed correctly...

Hi, a builder was looking at my house the other day and looked at the grid next to the house , and said he thought it had dropped. It looks quite low in comparison to the concrete around it, which also has holes in. If i push on each side it wobbles, however if i lift the grid i can see water. I...
