Hi there. I'm doing a DIY job on replacing a broken salt glazed gully. The gully in question has probably been broken for many years, possibly decades and the soil surrounding that area is extremely wet. The soil has a mud or wet clay consistancy. There doesn't appear to be any movement in the back of the house where the gully is located.
My main questions are:
1 - Should I be concerned about the wet ground and after fixing the gully will this still be a problem?
2 - With a new gully in place, will sub-base suffice in supporting the pipe work after replacement?
I have the pipe, gully and 110mm ceramic converter plus an angle grinder to carry out the work. See attached photos.
Many thanks in advance.
