help water coming from pipe straight onto the floor outside

[sneakyg]

help

I have water from my bathroom sink and shower that when ever i turn the tap on the water which comes out of it pours straight out of the pipe onto the floor outside onto my downstairs neighbors floor. (i live on the 1st floor)

im not sure if the wind has blown the pipe away or something internal has messed up

has anyone got any ideas? all of the other pipes are going into a downpipe or something which is about a meter to the side, i dont know what pipe it would need, where to go etc

If you've got a spare £170 get onto Plimico Plumbers -they are in The Smoke too - or post some pics here

the pipe on the right which is coming out of the wall is from the bathroom and where the water comes straight out of and pours onto the floor below - my guess is that there should be a pipe from that to the thing on the left of the pic

sorry that i have not got the names of the different items correct

Someone has stolen your waste pipe. Yes, there should be a pipe from the pushfit elbow down to the hopper.

Has this just happened?

'Floor', is inside the house.
'Ground', is outside.
Just reading your post made me smile.

As an aside:

A fella I used to play golf with always referred to the 'floor', ie I hit the floor with the club. Gave up in the end telling him where his 'floor' was

"The deck" is the universal term

right, back on topic - what would i need to fix this mess? a waste pipe i guess? is there a standard size? how does it connect from the pushfit elbow down to the hopper?

many thanks

Probably 40mm waste pipe, can you get up an measure how wide the elbow sticking out the wall is? It pushes in, to fit into the elbow and will probably just sit in the hopper. Just place into the hopper as the others are.

haha

Oh and so how does, "I'm on the ground floor" work then, if they're the same

I dont have the means to measure it at present as i dont have ladders.

im guessing i buy a 40mm waste pipe and cut the length to fit?

Yes, probably 40mm if it's from your shower. You can buy it in black to match and if you have the tools, it would be good to fix a couple of pipe supports as well. Cut the pipe to length, file the end slighty so that it pushes in easier ( a little washing up liquid might help if it is difficult to get in)

 

[longdogs]

Forget the pipe supports - just realised that it is too far out from the wall to do that.

You'll get a pipe clip on down towards the hopper head, probably.
