Hi,
1st off hope this is the right category to post question.
I've uncovered the above leaky Soil Stack joint in our hall way. Having cleaned up the joint I'm trying to work out how to reseal. The OSMA site suggests:
http://content.wavin.com/WAXGB.NSF/pages/OsmaSoilConnectionstoDrainageInstallationEN
To clay drain socket via OsmaSoil Connector 4S.107
1. Apply a bead of non-setting mastic to the face of the Connector and position centrally in the clay drain socket
2. Caulk the joint with yarn
3. Finish with 2:1 sand cement mortar
But could I get some advice as to what is suitable for:
1. non-setting mastic - does Plumbers MAit fit the bill?
2. caulking yarn - what or where can I get this? Can I use string, or would silicon or some other form of goo do? I guess its just for allowing a little movement before the mortar topping?
Thanks for your help,
Tim.
PS Not too sure about the DPC around this area either - it is next to the front door, the screed was all cracked and bulging. So I've dug it out, but can't see a DP membrane going up to the DPC under the door... but I'll continue this discussion on another thread
(Edit: on closer inspection looks like there has been a liquid DPC used around the affending area)
