Hi to anyone who may know about this on diy not forums I moved in a ground floor flat council owned and laid my vinyl in the bathroom and it has a cast iron soil pipe in the toilet that goes vertical under the floorboards and directly under the foundation of the wall into the external soil pipe.
Any how I think I should have adhesive sprayed the floor to stick the vinyl flush to the floorboards, Instead after tacking my carpet in the bedroom hallway and lounge I used the remainder of the tacks to nail the vinyl and had to nail near the toilet basin.
what I'm asking is could have the vibration of the hammering caused the pipe to fracture as when I had done I noticed slugs coming out of the soil pipe where the pipe joins on the basin and was only rendered over with cement where a short piece of plastic elbow pipe has been plumbed in the iron pipe that joins on the basin ceramic pipe as a adaptor. At some point when the council plumbers installed new bathroom fittings around my area in kirklees.
 
It's iron not asbestos soil pipe? Try as magnet.
Sounds like it requires replacing...
Unless you smacked the pipe I don't think vibration would damage it
