Dear All,
I live on the 1st Floor of a small block of privately owned residential flats and I have been recently advised by my management company that my Overflow Pipe which is situated on the outside of the property block side wall is currently overflowing and dripping with a liquid substance which I believe is water and this is now falling onto the brickwork and causing the Bricks to discolour since the pipe is situated at least 10 Feet above ground level.
I have no idea why this pipe is leaking water and more to the point why the Brickwork is now beginning to Dis-colour a mouldy Green colour.
Question 1: What is an Overflow Pipe and what is it connected to and what instances would it require the water to Overflow ?
Question 2: How does a person go about fixing this kind of problem and How much would it cost to repair and How long would a job like this normally take to fix ?
Question 3: Why is the Brickwork turning a mouldy Green Colour and How can this problem be best rectified ?
Any help and advice would be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
