Oops. Maybe should have started a new thread rather than resurrecting an old...
!!Link to old thread at foot of this post!!
A year later and they're still asking me to solve this issue!
Never happened when they first had the major refurb... "Why" they ask, is it happening now! Only thing I can think of is that the family has grown... More kids... more $hit down the waste disposal? Who knows! It's intermittent and not every time the waste disposer is used!
The whole lot is drained into a 4" pot in the floor, under the kitchen base units and goes under the floor back to "wherever" the stack is... God knows how far to a vent, so I guess back pressure is causing it to seek the tundish rather than down the drain.
I'm beginning to think about slinging the discharge out the back wall (as you suggested @Nige F and just making the clean up part of garden maintenance.
Maybe a soak-away could be used... But it's all gonna ruin the architectural hidden-ness of everything
Still, I'm the plumber not the architect so, why should I give a f€ck?

No links - I just made my own conclusion seeing the Qwerky diagrams on t'net. Maybe the expansion discharge could be taken through an outside wall - but then it probably dribbles constantly as the water expands and heats
