trap

Hi I have this issue in my house where the main bathroom upstairs, and the downstairs toilet, both have a strange unpleasant smell, I'm assuming sewer-y. The en-suite is fine, although the previous owners did some dodgy renovation and behind the vanity unit is a massive hole in the wall into the...

We're currently in the process of renovating our kitchen and my wife found a big old sink on Facebook marketplace that she wants installing but I am having a difficult time finding a waste and trap that will fit it. All the wastes I have seen are designed to go straight down through a vertical...

I have a permitted combined sewer, so the rain water can go into the waste water sewer. I have all the bits ready to take the gutter down pipe (currently just going straight onto the ground, :oops:) and connect it to the soil pipe (so 68mm -> 40mm then into existing soil pipe). My question is -...

Hi, I replaced our trap with an anti-syphon one (and also changed the angle of the washing machine waste). But when the washing machine starts, it still gurgles. Why does that still happen, and more importantly, what else do I need to do? Please see 2 images before/after: Thanks in advance!

The shower tray needs to fit in a three-sided recess that is 900 x 760 in size - see attached picture. It seems logical to place the waste at the front for access (where the rubber seal is), but the thing that slightly concerns me is whether it is a bad idea do you have it on the same side as...

Hi all Just installed a new shower! Got the classic problem of a slow draining shower. I removed the trap from the waste (the cup part), and it drains fine. Anyone else have this problem? Thinking if I make the holes in the trap bigger or saw a bit off the pipe that sticks into the trap water...

Hi I've got a leak from a shower waste so I'm going to have to take out a section of the ceiling below (oh joy) to repair. Given the location of the water mark on the ceiling below, I'm reasonably sure that the leak is coming from the trap. The trap in question is one like this type...

Hi Guys, Wondered if you could all help me please regarding my kitchen sinks external weld waste pipe. Six years ago had an extension done on the home, though in the last 2 years my kitchens external drain waste pipe has been leaking a little from the outside on the wall. Could anyone advise...

Hello, how I can make a trap for bees? No link Thanks

Hi folks, it's taken an age but we've tracked the cause of our knackered floor to what seems like a weird install. Copper pipe 22mm (prv?) and (plastic condenser?) come horizontally 4.5mtrs across the main living space from boiler, the plastic one is fitted into a small 33mm plastic u-bend...

Hi everyone My first time here and a bit of a tale of woe. I had a laundry room built in my basement and it looks fab. but I'm getting bad smells and I think it is because a p trap was not fitted to the waste. (and it is here dear readers that I curse myself. Back story: the builder turned...

Hi, Sorry if this is obvious, but I have read the Wiki and the FAQ and can't find an answer. The last trap (there are two after the pipe) at the end of my sink waste pipe has came away from the outlet at the wall. It looks like the trap doesn't quite reach the outlet far enough to fit tight...
