I am about to change the WC, as part of a bathroom re-fit. We have a problem with the current toilet that I would like to eradicate at the same time. As the toilet is on the ground floor, when we have periods of heavy rain the water level in the toilet bowl rises. Is there any type of non-return valve I can install to prevent this happening?
Each time we have heavy rain the toilet starts to make glugging sounds and then the water level starts to rise with foul water coming back into the bowl - as you can imagine I want to rectify this during fitting the new toilet. The existing toilet is close coupled with a white waste pipe (like an upside down L shape) that comes out and connects into a brown waste pipe under the floor.
Any help with what I should do is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
