I think my old cast iron soil pipe may be damaged at the point at which it goes underground. The reason I say this, is because I had the floorboards up recently and I noticed that the base of my external wall and the floor are damp also, the section of wall closest to where the soil pipe is sited is constantly very wet, (sorry did try taking pics but they didn’t come out very well due to limited space, rad pipes, cables etc).
I’m thinking of hiring a Kango drill in a couple of weeks to open up some of the patio, with a view to replace any damaged sections of pipe. My question is this, if that the stack is damaged at the joint / bend where it joins the clay pipe, then what sort of connectors do I need to renew this section, given that I’ll be connecting the old cast iron pipe to the newer plastic fittings. I’ve been into the local DIY store and all the drainage fittings appear to be 110mm, and I can’t see how any of these fittings would accommodate a cast iron pipe. Hope this all makes sense.
