    45 degree bend in soil pipe run.

    Can i use a 45 degree bend in the middle of a soil pipe run. I have to install a new inspection chamber, cannot get it square on to the existing chamber due to falls etc so would need a 45 about 2 meters from each chamber. Is this acceptable to building regulations and is it sensible. I know...

    Step in foul drain run.

    Can i put a step in a drain run? Down obviously not up, i would assume it needs to be rod-able from both directions but would it work? I have a reinforced ground beam to get over. The invert of the drain is the same height at the middle of the ground beam so i was proposing 110mm pipe over the...

    soil pipe height calculations

    Hello, I'm attempting to lay the soil pipe and inspection chamber on part of my extension myself (a new toilet) so did a few calculations and below is my toilet, two inspection chambers and the main sewer outlet that I believe I need to accommodate the change in directions. From what I've been...

The first 1 - 1.5 meters of the pipe has a slight upward incline on it (tested with a spirit level) before it declines...

    Soil Pipe - Closed up

    Good Morning I bought a house last year, which includes an outhouse which used to house a downstairs toilet. I was looking into the possibility of turning it into a downstairs bath/shower/toilet room as the upstairs bathroom is quite small. It seems the old owner has closed off the Soil pipe...

    Soil Pipe Vent Full of Water

    Hi.... A damp patch on an upstairs bathroom ceiling took me into the loft - I found the source of the leak was a dripping flexible pipe that connects the soil pipe to a vent in the roof. The outside of the pipe was dry - but inside contained about 2 litres of water which had collected in the...

    Reparing Broken Underfloor DPM

    Moving WC/waste in bathroom. We’ve unearthed and cut back the soil pipe as required. In doing so we’ve removed the DPM back to the edge of our trench (about 30 x 60cm). I’m concerned we should make good the DPM. I've considered removing more floor to expose good DPM so we can patch it somehow...

    Hi, We have a vent pipe from our soil pipe running up the outside of our single story house, the pipe is connected just below ground level into a porcelain joint (see picture). The pipe is purely ventilation as all sewage happens below ground. We are having the back of the house clad and need...
